21 day fix results?

I lost 12 lbs in 3 weeks. Gained it all back, though. I always do
The program itself is great!

Even tho I know a lot of people who have used 21 day fix, I don't know anyone who actually made it through the 21 days. Most of them tend to last a week or 2.

So what happens after 21 days? Thats barely getting your feet wet into any diet. Besides I like free so much better.

If the program doesn't teach you how to keep it off long term, I'd say it's the opposite of "great"

To the OP - I've never used it, so I can't give you specific personal anecdotes. But as a general rule, if you enjoy the workouts, and find they help you toward your goals, then I doubt anyone would advise against them. You don't really state exactly what your goals are in your OP. Assuming weight loss is a goal, while certainly exercising and working out is helpful, meeting that goal is going to be far more a matter of getting your diet and calorie intake set at an appropriate level.

Exactly this.

PS, you don't have to spend a fortune to take in less energy than you burn and be more active. You have MFP, and you can find free cardio on YouTube, download a free app like C25K, or you can spend a little bit of money to join a gym (more affordable than anything from BB, in my experience) to start a lifting program like Stronglifts or New Rules of Lifting for Women.

I want to do this program too. I mean you can do it over and over and apply it to every day. Its supposed to teach portion control and if you maintain wgat you learn and continue the diet after then you have learned something in my opinion. Its really not expensive if you get the basic package anyway. I mean if you get a set like body revolution its 50 or sgred its 100. Or ddp yoga is 120.

OP, I've never used the nutrition plan (honestly I think it's silly, and MFP is just as easy and way more accurate), but I love the workouts. Totally worth the price to me.
If you haven't started them yet, DEFINITELY follow the modifier the first time you go through each workout. I didn't do that and pushed myself way too hard the first time I did the program and was so sore it hurt to walk for a few days! I also add in an extra rest day and a day where I do some easy steady-state cardio each cycle, just because the full 7 days n a row seems too intense. I don't set deadlines for my progress, so no reason to push myself that hard.
I do this program a couple of times a year, usually for 2 months, and then switch to something else for awhile (I get bored easily ). Have fun!

Exactly, there are lots of people who I've read about doing it for far longer than 21 days. Nowhere does it say you have to stop after your 21st day lol. It really isn't bad, you get like 6 (I think?) workouts with it. In my opinion thats worth it in and of itself.

If you like the workouts....then yes, that's a good thing.

But the portion control seems very inflexible. There is not a easy way to "translate" a family favorite recipe, or a restaurant meal into .....your little containers.

Yes - you can see worksheets (on Pinterest) to mark off 1/2 of this container and 1/4 of that container. The Weight Watcher's Exchange program (which 21 Day Fix copied) seems more flexible......instead on 1 container of fat you get a few fat "exhanges"....use 1 exchange at breakfast (with high fat protein).....and 2 exhanges at dinner. Not 1/4 at breakfast......3/4 at dinner.
