  • I was successful with WW about 10 years ago and lost 60 Pounds. When I stopped WW, I gained it all back as I did not learn how to successfully maintain without it.

  • I lost successfully 60 pounds on WW 10 years ago, but gained back once I stopped, as I did not really learn the science behind what I was actually eating.

And, don't get me wrong, the coach offered a scaled down version, but it was just not scaled down enough for me and I got the rolling eye treatment when I asked for an…

  • I started CF in March and thought I would like it and felt like a bad *kitten* the first few times :) But the more I went the less I liked it. It seemed I was the only super unfit person in my class. Huffing and puffing already after the warm up, but I was not giving up. I also have super tight hamstrings and hip flexors…

  • My chiropracter recommended lots of stretching. Child's pose, cat & cow pose etc... I also started going to yoga classes recently and it seems to help my lower back pain.

  • I'm on my 2nd week of 21Day Fix Extreme and lost 7 pounds so far. I'm waiting for end of week 3 to do the final measurements. I was very strict with my diet in my first week, but started to losen it up abit for week 2. You get a feeling of what would fit in each container, so I find myself hardly using them. It really…
