  • You can add me. If you want to do a daily acountability check ins on here just let me know and we can start messaging.
  • Past 3 days I was busy and didn't eat well or track it well. There was cake, and ice cream, and pretty much all the food. :/ I'm back at it today. Going to eat well all week and get in all my workouts. Anyone have any small goals they're working on?
  • I'm 32 and looking to lose 10-15 lbs. I'm back after a long hiatus and trying to gain back my lost progress and it has been a real struggle. Feel free to add me and message me for support as we all struggle through our goals :)
  • I'm 32 and have 10-15 I'd like to lose. I've really been struggling to stick with it. I'm down 6lbs of my original 15-20 goal. If anyone wants a daily accountability buddy to message let me know. :)
  • I completely agree with Paytra. Small goals, one step at a time; whether it be a small weight goal, walking a bit further that week, or eating better. I try not to focus too hard on anything but the next two or three weeks at a time or else it starts to feel overwhelming.
  • I love beachbody ondemand! I've had great results and love all the options since I get bored easily. Plus they now have their recipe show for meal ideas because I definitely get sick of eating the same things all the time.
  • I did it previously and it was definitely my favorite program so far. My goal was to be able to do an unassisted chin up, I have never been able to do one before, by the end of 1 round I was able to do 2. I'm trying out the 22 Minute Hard Corps right now; trying to get back in shape after hurting my foot and losing my…
  • I'm going to officially start Body Beast this week or next. I did some last week mixed with some other workouts to try it out. Just recently getting back to working out after breaking a toe.
  • I love my Garmin vivofit and you can get it bundled with a heart rate monitor strap for under $120. I prefer the vivofit because you don't have to charge it. I thought about upgrading to a vivosmart, but I know I'll hate having to charge it all the time. A lot of reviews also mention the heart rate monitors on the wrist…
  • I'm 31 and a homeschooling mom to 3 kids ages 9, 6, & 3. I've lost 19lbs so far and am trying to stay committed now to keeping it off and toning up.
  • I'm a mom to 3 kids; girls 3 & 6, and a 9 year old boy. So far I've lost 19lbs and now I'm on maintenance and working on building more muscle. I'm doing p90x3 and before that I did 21 day fix. We are homeschoolers and our schedule tends to be kind of crazy, so I like the at home programs.
  • Use the "my recipes" section. Add in homemade foods as a recipe, entering each ingredient, and calculate serving size by weighing and measuring the total amount made and decide how many servings. For example: I enter all the ingredients for a pot of soup, I measure the amount of total soup so I can enter how many 1 cup…
  • These are my 14 day and 21 day progress pics from my first time with 21DF. These jeans are not stretchy in the slightest and were so very tight I had trouble getting them on when I started day 1. I think I lost 6lbs that first round.
  • Good to rest your elbow and at least you replaced it with something else. I had Yoga today, but I like Yoga day :) Hoping tomorrow's Challenge goes better than last week. My time off from working out didn't do me any favors. Feels like I'm starting from scratch with the pull ups/chin ups.
  • I throw in some just dance pretty much everyday along withy regular workout for an extra calorie burn.
  • I lived 21DF especially as a beginner workout! My only problem with it is lack of variety in the workouts. If you are also going to the gym a lot though this probably wouldn't be as much of an issue for you. Also the price, I think, is great. I've switched to P90X3, now that 21DF has me in better shape, because it has more…
  • How did Yoga go yesterday? Good luck today! :)
  • Whoops! Sorry, my Connect name is CarlyPi. I added you :)
  • I really liked the workouts and def saw results. After a couple rounds I was getting bored with the lack of variety and my progress had really slowed down so I switched to P90X3 (I still throw in 21DF too). I used the diet plan, but I just measured the portions with measuring cups. I weigh all my food now and use their…
  • Vivosmart users; I was thinking about upgrading from my Vivofit to Vivosmart but I really like not having to recharge my fit. So my question is: Are the extra features definitely worth the minor inconvenience of needing to recharge it weekly?
  • My Garmin Connect name is the same: carlypie84 DeeDiddyGee, I'm not sure why it wouldn't be updating to your MFP. You added your Vivofit device on MFP and linked your MFP on the Connect app/site? I can't remember if there were any extra steps during setup that may have caused this.
  • I did it for a couple months last summer and just started back up last week. How did last week go for everyone?
  • I am 31 year old mother of 3 (ages 8, 6, 3). I have lost 16 lbs so far and am just a couple away from my goal weight. I log everyday, but since the school year started (we homeschool) I've been having trouble finding the energy to get my workouts done. Anyone can feel free to add me.
  • Anyone can feel free to add me. I am about to switch to maintenance (temporarily running maintenance while on vacation) and I'm nervous about putting the weight I lost back on. Sharing motivation so as to not fall back into bad habits is always welcome.
  • My goal is maintenance right now while on vacation and I plan on switching to maintence long term 2 weeks or so after we get back.
  • I'm always up for friends to share motivation and support with. I'm getting closer to my goal and I don't want to fall back into bad habits and not maintain.
  • Good luck Summer! I did 21 Day Fix and I enjoyed it a lot. It def helped me get into the lifestyle change frame of mind whereas I always struggled with nutrition before. It is especially a great starter program since the workouts are only 30 minutes with modifier moves for every level and it makes the nutrition easy. I've…
  • It is Caps sensitive so that may be the problem.
  • It will keep a log of them on MFP but it doesn't add the active calories burned unless you add an activity on Connect.
  • Vivofit. Username CarlyPi
