Day 18 here - I have been doubling all week - I actually mixed them up a little so yesterday I did Lower fix and cardio fix. Today I have pilates and total body cardio, I will just do them back to back. I had some terrible calf craps during the night so I didn't want to get up and do Pilates. An Excuse, probably? but I…

Exactly! I never actually thought about looking at the list to see if the snap peas were approved though. I will make sure to substitute that next time. although I totally agree with adapting to lifestyles and such. But for right now I am really trying to focus on following the plan to a T, I will get more relaxed once I…

I guess I didn't check on the snap peas lol. Probably not. Good thing that was all I had left. Probably should have counted them as a yellow

Just made the most delicious, quick and easy dinner. 1 teaspoon coconut oil. Added a red of browned chicken and a green of frozen snap peas. Cooked that for a few minutes. Defrosted a yellow of quinoa (I make, prepackaged and freeze servings on the weekend of rice, quinoa and black beans). Added some of the southwest…

Totally agree! I'm glad the haters stay out of here!

Sounds like a plan. I think I have a 20oz thing if turkey so I'll just re freeze whatever is keft

Ok, so I have to defrost my proteins for the 3 day quick fix tonight. I would like to prep it all tomorrow night (to have it ready to go for Friday). I wonder how much I should cook up - anyone have an idea? I am going to do chicken breast and extra lean ground turkey breast.

Also take pictures! I have been taking them along the way - because I don't necessarily FEEL the changes, but putting my pictures side by side is definitely motivating

Just eat the containers and have faith! Exercise can make you retain water to rebuild your muscles. I didn't lose anything the first few days. Trust the program, it works!

going to pin that! What was the container breakdown?

I find them by google/Pinterest

Yeah, I would think making your own would be fine. Doh! I never really thought of that.

Day #17 for me - I couldn't get up again to work out :( Which stinks because I am doing the doubles this week. I will have to do back to back tonight. I wish I had more power to get up. Still feeling good, although the scale went up a little today. But it is still trending down. I am already starting to prepare for my…

@cupcake570 - Stick to it, the scale doesn't have to move to see results. I find motivation hard in the morning dreary or sunny! @michellemybelll - I wish I enjoyed the shakeology, the flavor is just off putting to me :( I just use a whey powder. I too was surprised at how full I felt in the beginning, I am starting to…

SatinRenee answered most of your questions. But I'll throw my two cents in I count half containers. And after a week I was able to figure out how to adjust recipes to incorporate the containers. Sometimes it's browning the meat, the draining and measuring using the red container how many portions it should be then add it…

@SatiaRenee Awesome job! Hope the rest of your day was just as good! I am looking forward to Upper Fix and Abs today :) I too am feeling quite good today too - I am down a little more and I put on a dress I haven't worn since last year - feeling really good in it

Yeah, the group boards are not friendly at all. But if you post in the regular boards then people get very rude with their comments

Yeah, I will probably keep with the orange and teaspoons - I just feel like I am just tossing sunflower seeds on anything I can. Unless I have a salad (then I do a dressing), which isn't very often. Same with the teaspoons - I end up just cooking in non-stick 90% of the time, I will use the coconut oil sometimes, so then I…

What is everyone's thoughts on the following things... * Switching a Purple to a Green I find myself craving more veggies and forcing that second piece of fruit. * Skipping Orange's and teaspoons I know that they are all good for us but I am forcing the Orange Calories and at times the teaspoons as well. I hate that I am…

I like your outlook, do the best you can. It is life, roll with the punches. something is better than nothing. You've got this!

Awesome! Good luck! you can do it

One Pot Beef and Vegetable Dinner Serves 5 1 Red and 1 Green each serving Ingredients: 1 pound'ish of ground protein - I used lean beef 1 cup (green container) of diced fresh tomato 4 cups (green containers) of diced or shredded veggies (I used carrots, asparagus and pepper) salt and pepper to taste Brown the protein and…

Day #15 - My final week of my first round. I was a bit disappointed with the scale today - but I shouldn't be! I am down 3 pounds for week two. And my measurements are down a bit too. I feel good - both physically and emotionally. I just guess I had hoped to lose 10 pounds my first round, and I might only make 5-7. But I…

I found this today

I decorate cakes as a fun hobby at times so I totally get it always trying new recipes mean you are always tasting things. Not easy!

Day 14. Feeling great today :-). I went to bed super hungry last night. First time in 13 days for me. But I woke up feeling thin and great! Started my day with a couple scrambled eggs and fruit. I'm happy to say, that it was so good. Even after I just whipped up waffles for the kids. Didn't feel deprived at all! Maybe this…

I think whatever works for you and your family is great! I so would have done sugar free but I'm trying to be faithful to the clean eating. Actually, I've been trying to steer clear of too much sweet because I've developed a sweet tooth over the last few years that never existed. Im using the 21df to help with that :-)

That's a neat way to do it!

Sorry for the multiple posts. I'm not sure why my phone is doing that.
