I have but he (like a lot of people) doesn't think it does anything. Honestly all the hype they (Beachbody) puts on it, I don't think it's worth the cost.. I am looking into alternative products. It's not really meant to be a protein powder, rather than a whole health drink (contains antioxidants, fiber, superfoods,…

I agree with this 100%- This is why I don't strictly agree with the calorie in/out alone theory. Every person is different and every body is different. There are a lot of theories out there that claim to have the best method.. steady state (running), intervals (HIIT), weight lifting.. etc All have their benefits and all…

I agree 100% and I will admit that I do not get enough sleep. I tend to burn the candle at both ends, which I think does play into my metobolic resistance. This is another reason why I was considering switching to a workout right after work before going home- I would be able to go to bed earlier. But, seems I need to get…

Thanks, I estimate sometimes.. but I weigh and measure most of the time. As for the calorie burn, I may be overestimating it, but I use a HR monitor. For cardio.. they are the most accurate way to measure calorie burn.. however, I know that for strength training, the algorithm for calculating calories burned is completely…

Thanks for the advice, I do need to sit down with him and try to understand all this better. I don't want him to feel like I'm so into myself that I have no time for him.. but at the same time, I need this for myself and there's only so many hours in a day.

I really don't like cycling lol Which is fair considering a lot of people don't like running ;)

Yeah.. it's annoying. But again, he has never had to deal with weight loss. He'll say things like "you're weighing bread?" or when we go out to eat he'll always laugh and shake his head when I have special requests, and say something like "gotta order the healthiest thing on the menu." A lot of the time he'll joke and tell…

I do have some weights (I have a changeable set that goes up to 25 lbs) and I did think of quitting my gym membership and relying on at-home workouts.. but that would be a big leap.. and not sure I'm ready to let go lol I'll consider that an option though, thanks!

Good advice, Thanks :)

I never claimed to use anything as a weight loss product. They are supplements, which is different. I do not expect weight loss to occur from using them. I expect them to improve my overall health (read vitamin), work out harder and with more endurance (pre-workout) and help my muscles/tissues repair themselves.) Again..…

My BMR, which I had measured, puts me at 1250 calories.. I end up ~1500 after exercise. I do track my actual calories, not just assume. Sometimes I'm a little over, most times I'm in range. The cool thing about the 21DF is that you eat the right kinds of cals. As previous posters have said- I know energy in, energy out...…

No idea what's up w/ the profile thing. Again.. first time posting. Yes, I do prepare and weigh.. and measure.. my own food. And I get made fun of for it. All the time. I've never followed any "fix" "temporarily". I'm not usually one for gimicks at all. I'm just trying to do different things b/c what I've been doing's not…

Hi. Still here.

I don't have a profile. Never set one up. Use MFP as a tracking tool mostly.. and I keep my food diary private. Just wanted to vent to the universe today.

Yes, I count calories. Not always strictly, but I know where I fall most of the time. Using the 21DFix method.. you shouldn't have to count calories (As you have the correct portions of the correct marcos you are supposed to eat for your target), but I still do. I'm averaging 1500ish calories. My work offers a health and…
