  • Absolutely not. Do what makes you feel beautiful!
  • Hi! I would advise against prepackaged meals because you can't account for the ingredients or the portion sizes for each food group. Is it 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green? 1/2 red, 2 yellow, 2 blue, 1.5 green? 21DF is all about learning how to eat within according the the right portions. I would just take the time to plan out…
  • 3 Day Quick Fix is a 3 day plan that is supposed to be like a detox, jumpstart, boost. A lot of people do it on days 19-21 to get a boost at the end of the program. It's a lot of lean meat with veggies, no added salt, egg whites and steel cut oats for breakfast with no added sugar, drinking liquid coconut oil and a gallon…
  • I am following the plan very closely. The first week I could barely workout due to hurting my back the weekend before so i had to follow the plan very closely. These are all of the cheats I had during my entire 21 days: 1/2 glass of wine 3 small easter candies 3 sushi rolls (is that really a cheat? Maybe because they were…
  • So I finished my first round! I lost 7 lbs and 9" from my body including 3.5" off my lower abs alone! Jumping right into round 2 starting with the 3 day quick fix!
  • I'm on day 19! Weighed in on day 18 at -7 lbs so I'm excited!

  • ^^ Great job!!!
  • I am going to do two-a-days during my last week too (starts today). I did the total body cardio fix this morning and will do the pilates fix when I get off work.
  • I felt like I was gonna die and not finish the program. I even gave up. Then my BF at the time encouraged me to go at it again. I was on the treadmill and decided to take my training outside and run around a very popular running lake. It was tough and it's hard to believe it, but I finished the program. I went from running…
  • New Orleans! So you know that food is a big struggle for me. :)
  • HI! Just thought I'd share a mini update. I started my first round of the 21DF last Monday and did amid-way point weigh in this morning: down 5 lbs! Good luck to everyone on the program!
  • Besides losing weight (obviously), I want to get some energy. I'm too young (25 almost 26) to just come home from work everyday and crawl into bed.

  • Basically no grains and no dairy and no legumes.
  • I guess I'm lucky because mine does. lol. It is a newer one.
  • I'm at PF too! I would definitely recommend lifting weights. I usually spend 45-50 min on strength, about 20 min on cardio (something with resistance) and do a good 5 min stretch at the end. The machines are pretty self-explanatory but if I need help, the men in the weight room are pretty friendly. They like helping girls…
  • Bantu African, British, South Asian and Native American per my DNA ancestry mapping.
  • I've been on Apri and the only weight I gained was from eating burgers for dinner everyday and laying around. In other words, Apri did not cause my weight gain. I've been able to lose 22 lbs while on it. It also regulates my period, severely decreased the intensity of my cramps and I haven't had a pimple in years. In other…
  • The old school work out Callanetics is really great with toning and tightening those areas. Here's a link to her 20 minute Quick Callanetics Stomachs video. I do this one and Quick Callanetics Legs back to back. I ordered the DVD that comes with Hips and Behinds on Amazon. http://video.yandex.ru/users/ekzark/view/241/#
  • The vagina and urethra are two separate things.
  • Jordin Sparks post weight loss. Amazing!
  • I make a smoothie with 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, a banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter. 320 calories, and it's delicious!!
  • Jennifer Hudson and the Way Watchuhs Program.
  • You can make fruit and veggie smoothies. I drink a smoothie every morning (except weekends, that's bacon and eggs :wink: ). I use frozen fruit (strawberries, peaches, mango, pineapple...etc), avocado and spinach. You could also add kale, celery, parsley, mint...
  • I was just about to post that. :smile: I was struggling with allergies for months and found out that local honey can help with that. I went to a small, local grocer and got some honey. Took a teaspoon of honey a day for a week, and I was better! Best medicine ever. :wink:
  • You're averaging .5-1 lb per week. That's good, healthy and sustainable weight loss. Stop weighing yourself weekly, that'll drive you nuts. I weigh in 2 times a month.
  • I drink smoothies every morning and the one thing that makes them rich and creamy is avocado. I add in 1/4 of an avocado to my smoothie and it's great. You can't taste it, even though it has a slight sweet flavor, and it's got healthy fat. I also use BSN Lean Whipped Vanilla Protein. Tastes delicious and makes the smoothie…
  • Oh congrats, that's so encouraging! I start week 3 tomorrow and I am dreading the thought of having to run for 3 minutes. I am anxious to see myself run the whole 30 minutes. In fact, I'm signed up for the Color Run on April 20.
  • I'm 23. I've been on MFP since I was 20.
  • Have you heard of callanetics? It's kinda like pilates, but it's very small, almost pulse-like moves. I've only done one workout but it's deceptively tough. This is the video I bought because it has stomach, legs and hips/behind.…
  • I'm 23, almost 24. I'm gonna add a few folks. :smile:
