Great discussion topic! I think what's more important than focusing on calories is portion control. If you are eating proper portions of the healthy stuff, then you'll likely fall within a healthy range of calories for the day without even counting. That's where the difference between the chocolate bar and the healthy…

Not feeling sexy? Get back to that mirror, take a look and find something to compliment yourself on. Great hair day? Good skin? Gorgeous eyes? Or how about how hard you've been working out? Eating well? Beautiful smile? I bet there's something you can pat yourself on the back for. We all have un-sexy days, but I challenge…

DIdn't have time to read through all of the comments, but in case no one as mentioned it...you did say you're working out. Is it possible that you are gaining muscle, and therefore not seeing any change in weight? Muscle is heaver than fat and it usually takes over two weeks for me to see any changes when I start (after…

Check out Steady130.com. I used to mix my own playlists because I'm THAT picky about what I listen to and I like it to flow together without gaps. They have tons of workout mixes and that vary in style and tempo for download. Most mixes run for an hour. And it's like a DJ, where they don't always play the whole song...the…

It's funny how some people don't understand that sometimes you don't want to cheat! :) I find that happens most often with alcohol. I know it's not great for me and often I don't "need" it. So when everyone was is having a few drinks and I don't want any, they look at me like I'm crazy, or a party pooper...which is so not…

Fitness buddies are awesome! I struggle because I find that none of my friends care about it quite as much as I do, so I'm in it alone. When I turn down making plans with them because I tell them I need to get my workout in - I don't think they truly get. Last night my BFF wanted to hang out. She's going through a breakup…

I recently started doing PiYo (strength training based on a combo of Pilates and Yoga). You can find lots of PiYo related videos online, although I bought the at home program. I am four weeks in and it has done wonders for my arms and chest area already. It works on strengthening your overall body and gaining…

Less soda and more water...really enjoying infused water. I don't even miss the pop. Taking baby steps instead of an extreme diet is the best approach for sure. Way more realistic and easy to stick to. That's how you build healthy habits so good job! :) I also find I am naturally drawn to healthy food choices when I'm…

DON'T GIVE UP!!! :) It is very likely you won't see a big change in the first two weeks, especially if you've started working out. I never notice any weight change when I first start. If you're working out, you're likely building muscle, which weighs more than fat. While the scale may not always show it, you're making…

I'm also on week three and loving it! I feel so much stronger...especially in my core and my arms! I haven't measured any results yet because I'm a little afraid. I feel like I'm gaining muscle which could give me a negative effect on the scale - which is BS because we all know muscle is heavier than fat so it in no way…

I started running (I'm not a runner) because I'm a cardio junkie and while PiYo is a good workout, I was missing the "therapy" that I get from a real hard cardio push...so I hear ya! I run on my lunch breaks because it was something I could fit into my workday and still have time for PiYo in my day. Turbo is my soulmate…

I'm on week 3 of PiYo and I love it. It is helping with some back/core/shoulder problems I've been suffering with and I also feel so much stronger already! While I only recently started the at-home program, I am a certified PiYo instructor. While I'm more of a cardio junkie, I quickly realized I was lacking in strength…

Just started reading this thread...not sure why I picked it but I did. First off, congrats Betty on completing your 21 Day Fix program! That is a huge accomplishment. Secondly, great job on staying positive, despite any trolls out there. :) I understand the 21 Day Fix to be more of a teaching tool than a "diet". I hate…

Hey - Just saw your post and wanted to comment. Aside from a quick Google search I just did, I have very little knowledge on fibro, how it affects the body and what kind of workouts are appropriate but I thought I'd share my own experience with the Turbo programs to maybe offer you a little encouragement. Over 10 years…
