I'm surprised no one responded to this, Emily! It's a great program. I have coached lots of people on the 21 Day Fix and they each saw weight loss, definition, and most off all - each of them gained the knowledge & confidence on how to create portion controlled, nutritious meals. You will love it! Let me know if you need…

I agree, IceQueen! I did T25 before too and I started off with P90X3 accelerator. There were definitely more breaks & talking throughout the exercises, but I kind of liked it. It made me work harder so that I earned those breaks. We'll see if it pays off in the end! :)

Awesome! I'm glad you guys are doing it too! And I'll look into that other group as well :)

Welcome Donna! You WILL be happy again! I have made so many friends through MFP and it is so supportive here :) Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like some accountability & support :)

Run up the stairs for about 10 minutes!! I saw someone at work do this recently and she was kicking *kitten*! I would probably feel self conscious but she was rocking it haha

Haha, you guys - I promise there is NO COST! if you want to find out foods that naturally detox your body, you can refer to the Self 7 Day Detox. We are using a variation of that diet & workout plan! Enjoy!

Great! This is not a sales pitch at all! This is all about accountability and motivation to continue to reach your goals throughout the holiday season! I'll send you a message to gauge your fitness level and we can get started!

I sent them private messages so that I can gauge their current personal health & fitness levels and really understand their goals. I don't want to ask them personal things within a community forum. I can definitely add more details surrounding the challenge group here! I already answered the question as to "what types of…

Within 12 days we will not see major results; and everyone's results will be different depending on their current health & fitness level. The goal for this challenge group is to help people learn to eat in moderation for the upcoming holidays & large dinners! Also, the meal plan that we will be following will consist of…

Hi guys! Thanks for your interest!! I will message you individually and give you all of the details!! :)

Hi! I work a full time global job which requires me to be available early in the mornings and late at night. I find it best to wake up in the morning and workout before I can even tell myself that I don't want to. I've gotten into a routine where I wake up at 5am every morning and workout to a home DVD program called…

Friend me!! I would LOVE to help support you along the way :) And I personally love that your goal is not to be stick thin. Once you start eating healthier consistently, you will not feel sluggish and start feeling better about yourself, mentally and physically. We don't need to be stick thin to respect and love our…

Wow - you are one BUSY girl!! Sounds like you need T25!! Haha, have you heard of it? Its a workout that only takes 25 minutes, 5 days a week! I'm sure you could squeeze that in! It looks like you are already eating healthy (lots of veggies) but you did mention that you sometimes don't eat because of your busy schedule. To…

What I've learned, is that it all works out in the end. I am the same as you - my TDEE is around 1700 but on days that I don't workout I eat less. If there is a day that I go over by 1-200 then I don't change my diet the next day. I have a challenge group starting up on November 18th and I'll be providing a meal plan to…

This challenge is only for 30 days! That means that we WILL be going through this during Thanksgiving! I completely understand the worries around not preparing your own meals, but this challenge group will help you recognize the healthy foods from unhealthy foods and realize that your body does NOT need 4 pieces of pumpkin…

Hahaha cwolfman, I like your sense of humor. Adini - no I am not a registered dietician. I am a fitness coach who has been trained on both health & fitness and how to get people to see results! If there is anything in the meal plan that will not suit with your health needs, I can customize it further specifically for you!…

I definitely will, Lyndiluuwho! P.S. I love your name! :-p

Hi Michelle, I will message you this as well in case you don't come back to the thread, however eating clean will consist of a meal plan that I will prepare for each of the group members. it will focus on eating mostly raw foods and meals that have no more than 5 natural ingredients in them. No packaged foods and we will…

I agree - change up your routine and also try eating more. If you're eating at a deficit it will be harder to lose weight + gain muscle. If your goal is the get bigger muscles then perhaps you should focus on maintaining weight now. Do you take supplements? Have you ever thought of trying Shakeology?

Hi!! I would to love help motivate and support you! :) We're all in this together, right? I recently just canceled my gym membership so that I could start a workout program at home and LOVE IT!! It's called TurboFire. I've been doing it for 4 weeks now and feel the best i've felt in...probably years! I've also been…

Hi! Welcome!! I'm so happy that you're committing to this lifestyle change :) What are you doing to lose weight? Do you have a plan? Message me if you need support!! :)

I'm here!! :) I'm not sure what Bernsteins is but they should have taught you the basics so that you knew how to handle lifes pleasures after the program ended! Lets face it...losing weight is hard! BUT it's not impossible :) I am a fitness coach working one on one with people who are interested in cleaning up their diet,…

Congrats on losing 3 pounds! I know it doesn't seem like a lot but losing 1 pound per week is actually HEALTHY! So keep going! Don't give up! I can't see your food diary so I can't tell how 'clean' you are eating or how many calories you are eating. I think that I can help you get started on a faster track to reach your…

First of all - CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss so far! 71 pounds is definitely something to be proud about! I hit a wall very similar to yours about 1 month ago. That's when I decided I needed to switch up my routine! I've been following a meal plan where I'm actually eating MORE throughout the day and trying new…

I completely know where you're coming from. I used to eat 600 calories a day, but net probably 3-400 after exercising. I did lose weight but I gained it all back after binging for 2 weeks straight. I realized I needed to change. I KNOW that it's scary eating more calories, especially if you're seeing results with such a…

I'm doing TurboFire and I love it!! Feel free to add me :)

I just started TurboFire this past Monday, September 23rd and i LOVE IT!!!! I feel so great aftewards. I've been waking up at 5:00am to get it done so i'm pretty beat by the end of the work day but I never regret getting up early to get the workout done. Feel free to add me! I'd love to have a group of buddies to hold me…

Yikes! I've never heard of that. Oddly enough, I am trying Shakology for the first time today. I'm getting some sample packets delivered which should arrive at some point today. I'll let you know how they work for me!

Wow, you're doing awesome girl!

Thanks guys! I think I'm going to get the Body Fortress protein shake for now...it's cheaper and I'd rather try it out and see if i like it than spend lots of money on something I don't like. I'm currently in a 4 week fitness challenge but after this ends, I will be following the Workout & Meal Plan that GNC provides :)
