Day 7 and going strong! My muscles are feeling back to normal, except a stronger normal! I am still modifying a lot, but I didn't expect to become super fit in one week either. I stuck pretty close to the eating plan. I had Thai food Friday night with veggies, mango, and shrimp and just spoonful of rice but wonderfully sweet sauce. Other than that, and enjoying my raw cashews excessively yesterday, there haven't been any deviations. I had a two pound loss! I lost about a 1/2" chest, stomach, and thighs. 1" in my calves which I find really odd, maybe I measured wrong the first time. I've always had big calves, but not the first place I would choose to lose an inch. And waist went down an inch which is really cool! This is enough motivation to keep me going another 7 days!0

@synacious that's right! I tried to be conscious of veggies, protein and portions but otherwise I wasn't doing the meal plan. Very excited to see continued results in Round 2!0

@jennimben i'm also 150 and 5'2, can you say body twin!? lol Excited to see how we progress. I'm really slackin in the nutrition part I seem to do really well during the work week (although dinner is sometimes tough if i "wing it") but then the weekend hits and it's like wheeeeeeeee not a care in the world, then morning morning weight in is like WTH?!! ugh, i have to stop doing this to myself :-(0

i am on my 2nd week of the 21 day fix and so far on last Weds I lost 5.1 lbs. But then I ate really unhealthy for 3 days straight because i went out of town but then on the 3rd day I went back to eating 21 day fix. then the next day i ate an unhealthy breakfast but then I went back at lunch doing the 21 day fix eating plan. Now, i am back to normal with my eating plan. I also skipped 3 days of workouts because i left my workout DVDs at home but as soon as I got home from being out of town I started the DVDs back up!
My next weigh in is Weds!
Keep up the great work everyone! 0 -
@ladybug1250 I feel myself getting a little bit lazy this week with nutrition too. I didn't do my normal shopping and am lacking in anything protein-like and variety of veggies. I had a protein bar today- think thin, great bars, but I have no idea how to count it. Argh. I have a good feeling about this week though!
@musicfan4life30 Great job on your first week! That is a great loss! Don't worry about what happened after that, one day at a time. Each day is a new start and opportunity to be healthier than the day before!0 -
Autumn says things like Kind bars count as one yellow, but since yours is a protein bar I'd count it as half of a red and half of a yellow. The only exception would probably be Quest bars because they're all protein and no sugar so they'd count as one red.0

Great info, thanks! I just checked out the Think Thin bars- peanut butter is my favorite, and they taste good- and they have 20 gr protein, 0 sugars, gluten free, low glycemic and kosher. And 240 calories per bar. They do leave a nasty taste in the mouth though.0

I have lost 3lbs in 6 days! Really liking it but having a hard time with getting all my veg portions in.

I hate to say it but the Shakeology samples I got a few days into starting this really beat out my Vega one shake (which I love) in helping my soreness. But I cant afford to continue it. Any other good protein shake suggestions? I dont like the taste of RAW at all.0

Hey everyone! I have 4 more days on my first round of my 21 day fix.
So far I have lost 5.3 lbs since weighing myself last but that wasn't on my weigh in day!
My final weigh in day is Thursday!
I have lost 10.5 inches in total so far and that's with all my measurements added together!
My last day of this 21 day fix is Sept. 10th.
I am def. going to be doing another round of the 21 day fix right after this round is done because i didn't totally stick to the eating plan or workout videos all the way through so for my next round I am going to be a lot stricter with the eating plan and the workouts and make sure that i follow them all the way through the whole 21 day fix.
I am still loving Autumns workouts and I am still loving the 21 day fix!
Keep up the great work everyone!0 -
I'm a little disappointed in myself these last two days. I didn't have the necessary good food in the house and was too lazy to get to the store, so I ate a ton of fruit, watermelon- all water, right?? and some mexican food- but I thought I was being good. I counted my chips to keep them at a serving, had two small corn tortillas instead of flour, measured a couple of tbsp of cheddar, & lean pork. And NO DESSERT! NO GUACAMOLE! NO SOUR CREAM! NO MARGARITA! Doesn't my body realize all those things I skipped?!? And the pain I went through to skip them? Instead I was rewarded with a 2 lb gain overnight. sob, all that work.
The next day was better, but I let the previous day get to me and didn't hop on the bandwagon till evening. The next morning, another .8. So, in 12 days I had lost 4 lbs, in 13 days it was down 2lbs loss, and after 14 days I had lost only 1-1/2 lbs total. Faithfully doing my workouts. So today, I am starting week 3 with a new vengeance! I am going to kill this workout! I will measure, and this time record in my food diary. If I can just get back down to that 4 lb weight loss at the end of 21 days I will be really happy! (thanks, it felt good to get that out!) 0 -

Hey, I wouldn't beat myself up if I were you. A 4 pound loss in 12 days would be a deficit of around 1167 calories per day which is not probable. To lose one pound, you must have a deficit of 3,500 calories per week (500 per day). The 1,000 calorie deficits per day are possible for much larger people (300+ lbs) who have a lot of weight to lose. So you never truly lost 4 pounds, no worries; some of it was water weight. You also can't gain two pounds overnight; that's a calorie surplus of 7,000. Your body was stabilizing itself. So, 1.5 pounds in two weeks is excellent and should be the rate of weight loss you are getting for someone with your stats, as I can see your age and diary from your profile. A total of 4 pounds in 21 days is possible in extreme circumstances, but please don't get discouraged if you finish with a loss of 2.5 to 3.5 pounds, as that's what I predict for you.

i have done 1 round of 21 day fix-i lost 10 pounds and 6 inches-i am getting ready to do round 2-i do workouts and follow plan-i do not use shakelogy-i do use whey protein after workouts-i may in future do 21 day extreme-i also have done inasanity before-but never followed food plan on0

Thanks @synacious, it's good to hear smart logic, always brings me back around. I guess I would be happy with a 2 lb loss since I haven't seemed to be able to do that in the past year! It's too easy to have big expectations without thinking about what's realistic, and the inches are going to be the real indicator of all the hard work. This is such a great group, gets me through the hard parts and all the successes motivate me! Still can't do a minute of pushups, on my knees too, but I came darned close this week!0

I just did my final weigh in and measurements of my first round of my 21 day fix.
I lost 8.25 inches off my entire body.
I also lost 5.7 lbs!
I'm super proud of myself and i cannot wait to start my second round of the 21 day fix on Monday! 0 -
Nice job @musicfan4life30 ! Makes me excited to measure in a few days....
And same to you @shelbyfit72 ! Fantastic results for both of you!
I'm wondering what everyone does between rounds so you don't lose the muscle and motivation? Different workouts or fewer days per week? I want to make sure to keep up some of the intensity but feel like I'm taking a little break before starting again.0 -

Awesome work, everyone! @DaceyG1990 : I'd buy tickets to THAT gun show! :-P Way to go, girl!0

@jennimben So I actually took a week off after Round 1 because my treat to myself for breaking 130 pounds was a hair straightening treatment and part of the process was not working out/sweating/getting my hair wet for 72 hours afterward. I was so worried it would affect my loss but it didn't. I still followed the meal plan/ate in a deficit and I walked at least 5 miles every day for that week and I still lost weight. The next Monday I jumped into Round 2 with zero issues.
Congrats on the progress, everyone! Today is my last day of Round 2. I made a few changes this time, such as ditching the meal plan and not doing doubles for the last week since I go running sometimes and was busy with the start of the work/school year. The reason why I ditched the meal plan is because I actually increased my food intake. I used to eat 1200 calories and now I changed my loss per week from two pounds to half a pound per week. The calorie bracket I was on for the meal plan was not enough food for my activity level. I have a good grasp on how many fruits, veggies, carbs, proteins, etc. I should eat now and I feel like I no longer need that aspect of the program. I still follow the basics of it, but instead of limiting "treats" like Kind bars to three yellow containers per week, I enjoy some kind of protein/snack bar almost daily if it fits my calories and macros.
Here are my results from Round 2:
Round 2 Starting Measurements (8/23/15)- Weight: 124 pounds
- Chest: 32 inches
- Waist: 27 inches
- Hips 38 inches
- L/R Thigh: 20/20 inches
- L/R Arm: 11/10.5 inches
Round 2 Final Measurements (9/13/15)- Weight: 121.2 pounds
- Chest: 32.5 inches
- Waist: 26 inches
- Hips 36.5 inches
- L/R Thigh: 18.5/18.5 inches
- L/R Arm: 10/10 inches
I'm not sure if I'm doing a Round 3 or if I'm moving onto 21 Day Fix Extreme for my next round. My plan is to lose 10 more pounds to shed some more fat and then start a recomp/slow bulk while doing the Body Beast program.

Hi everyone! I'm on day 8, and so far down 2 pounds and 4.5 inches! Yay!! I've started doubling up with Piyo in the mornings/21day at night. So I'm looking forward to see how I feel at the end of the week!!0

I finished round 1 and feel ready to start round 2 in a couple of days! Here are my stats:
Round 1 starting: (I'll copy @synacious 's format)- Weight: 149.7
- Chest: 33
- Waist: 33
- Hips: 38
- L/R Thigh: 23.25/23.5
- L/R Arm: 13.25/13
- L/R Calves: 15.5/15.5
Round 1 end:- Weight: 145.8 (I'll call that a 4 lb loss!)
- Chest: 31
- Waist: 31
- Hips: 37
- L/R Thigh: 22.5/22.5
- L/R Arm: 13/12.5
- L/R Calves: 14.5/14.5
I will take those results any day- my clothes fit better, I feel energized, and I think I have really formed some good habits and lost some bad ones, or at least decreased the frequency~! I stopped using the containers into the second week. I feel like they are necessary for people who aren't used to getting so many vegetables in a day, or need to limit the carbs a bit more. But I eat a ton of veggies and I don't really see any need to restrict them. I find it really difficult to get enough protein and ended up eating a lot of eggs, cottage cheese, protein bars and chicken. So I'm going to visit Pinterest for some ideas. And I did eat a few meals out and meals my husband made, but I just tried to be sensible and eat small portions. I didn't do double workouts. I get up at 4:45 to get ready for work and either get home at 5 or 7, so I can only fit in one workout a day. (I take a commuter van and am limited, I don't really work all those hours! But I get in a lot of walking!)
@synacious- I hope your hair turned out lovely! Thanks for the feedback, I won't freak out about these two days off. But I'll hope back in feeling ready!
@DaceyG1990, @Noleinfla & @synacious - great results!!!0 -

I'm actually going to be starting my 2nd round of the 21 day fix Sept.28th because I have my early birthday party with my family today and I also then on my real birthday which is this week have another party so i will be more focused and ready once my birthday is over with.
I am using Autumn's Fixate cookbook which I love love love love! I am a really picky eater and I love so many of her recipes in her book! I am really glad that i bought it because it's really helping me stick to the eating plan a lot easier! 0 -
I'm finally starting my second round of 21 DF after being absent for the entire month of September. I really let myself get away from everything I learned but not anymore! Sadly, I'm back to my starting point but I'm much more aware of what I have to lose if I don't stick with this. If I'm not talking or posting, I'm not doing it. I'd love people to friend me and help me stay accountable!0
