Lol it's working for me... so I'm totally secure with this fact...if I had the imagination to set it up myself I wouldn't weigh over 200lbs :wink:

Encouragement Idea :flowerforyou: Okay, so I'm REALLY bad at goals and rewards, so I thought I'd try this. I bought myself a charm bracelet and for every 5 lbs I lose I get a new charm. My hope is that when I want to make a bad choice, it will serve as a representation of all the hard work I've done :happy:

The Program: What's Worked / What Hasn't (for me anyway lol) I posted this in another 21 Day Fix tread...so I apologize if you've already read it...but I thought I would post it here too. I think it's important with ANY program to adjust it to what works for you as an individual...that's what makes it sustainable :smile:…

*Update* So far in 2 rounds I've lost 10.8 lbs and 7.75 inches What has worked for me: 1) Structure - I needed something to tell me "eat this much and do this exercise"...perhaps sad...but that's the truth 2) Using with MFP - although I do not log my meals 100% faithfully, I did more in the beginning to make sure I was…

That's awesome!! Thanks!!

Hi everyone!! Sorry I haven't been posting very much this round, between a death in the family and a 2 week cold/flu I've been hanging on by a thread...HOWEVER I have to say my really successful first round helped instill some good habits that I was able to maintain through (at least a LITTLE) my rough second round. Round…

Thank you, I appreciate that :happy: AND go you!!! That's awesome!!! You HAVE to come back and post your final results!! Good luck!!

Thank you so much!!! I think I'll be switching at the end of this bag lol

Hi there! For me the workouts are great!! Although I have to say, if it wasn't for the gal who does the modified version I'm not sure if I would survive lol. I like the 30 minute intervals, they seem to go by pretty quick, and the different workout for every day of the week keeps me from getting bored. Mind you... I was…

Wow!!! Awesome job!!! Have you noticed a difference replacing the shakeology with a regular protein shake? I think I'll be looking for other options myself... but would love to hear feedback about the difference! The only other shakes I tried were Weight Watchers and they didn't *ahem* agree with my belly lol. Would love…

Omg I felt the same way!! I was so nervous I wasn't going to see results and dammit this is hard work lol!! Don't get discouraged if the weight doesn't "fly" off... My first week I only lost 1ish lbs...but the measurements at the end are worth it! I posted my before/after pics along with how much weight/inches I lost in my…

I freakin LOVE my challenge group!! They're what really have kept me honest and on track lol. The accountability of having to post after doing the daily exercise and commiserating about it is the BEST lol. Good luck!! Can't wait to see how you do!!

I absolutely agree it's a GREAT teaching tool! I didn't really think about how many unhealthy/processed foods I was used to consuming! I also hate the name "21 Day Fix", it's SUPER gimicky, but honestly I think ANY program is only with what you put into it. For me, it got me excited and gave me a starting point. I know…

Thanks :wink:

[/quote] Wow, Just wow. [/quote] ...that was my thought as well...I apologize for ranting, that's really not not like me. It was just so frustrating to be so excited about something that is finally working for me, only to have people crap all over it. In retrospect I probably should have just pulled up my big girl panties…

End of Round 1!! So I survived round 1!! Throughout the 21 days I only missed 2 of the workouts and can see a difference in my performance with each week! The official numbers: Down 7lbs Down 5.75 inches I'm still trying to track my food a few times per week, the only thing I do get concerned with about the diet plan is…

NOT even close, but I'm still on program and I feel great!!... :drinker:

That's awesome Sharayah! I just finished my first round of 3 weeks yesterday and moving onto round two today!! I'm still loving it so far and finding the meal plan is fitting nicely into my routine. Good luck and let me know how you're doing!!

WOW...leave a thread for a few days and the freakin trolls come out!!! FIRST of all, thank you so much for those posting positively, that is what SOME of us are here for...a supportive community of like-minded people. SECOND...well thanks to some of you for exemplifying what it means to be a hater...seriously I wasn't…

I am!! I'll be doing my measurements for the end of my first challenge tomorrow!! My goal for the challenge was to lose 6lbs and I've lost 7!! Can't wait to see the inches :happy: I think what has made this successful for me is the combination of a diet plan AND a specific exercise regimen. I've only missed two days…

This was my first impression with the program...I posted previously...but sums it up pretty well I started the 21 Day Fix on Monday (8/4/14) and am looking forward to (hopefully) a program that will keep my attention and provide accountability. This is my first experience with a Beachbody product, so I'm not too sure what…

Thanks Michele!! I think you hit the nail on the head, it's also important to be able to control the mount from a block :smile: thanks for the exercise ideas, most of them are in the new program I'm doing...so yay!! ~ Betty

Thanks for the input and I'm sure Jedi thanks you too lol :wink: ~ Betty

AAAAAAAAAH!!! Thank you for clarifying!!! GRAY!!! GRAY coffee!!!! Cause when you add skim milk it becomes a sickly GRAY!!! LOL

Hi everyone! I'm new to this group and this thread caught my eye. I have not ridden consistently in a few years, not because my horse can't handle it; I have a 13 y/o Percheron/Morgan cross...but I think it's more deeply rooted in development of fear, loss of confidence, and my body feeling differently when I ride now as…

I am starting the 21 Day Fix on Monday (8/4/14) and am looking forward to (hopefully) a program that will keep my attention and provide accountability. This is my first experience with a Beachbody product, so I'm not too sure what to expect, but I will post here with my experience as I move through it :smile: My First…

I struggle with this issue myself, as a home care nurse a lot of my eating is done in the car...not to mention I also have limited bathroom availability so I have to be careful of my fluid intake :noway: A few things I have done that are more mobile are pre-peeled and salted hard boiled eggs...although it CAN get a little…

Hi Ladies!! First off...can someone let me know what day I have...for whatever reason I can't read the calender :-) AND for the QoTD... grapes and stringster cheese...LOVE it!! lil bite of one...lil bite of the other :-)

If I took all the money I've spent on trying to lose weight...I could probably have purchased an entire 4 star gym...ah well...my most recent cost was a pair of GOOD sneakers and I agree - our food bill is higher. The next big purchase I WANT is a good elliptical - but the boy has started to get skeptical about my…

I'm curious, where did you get your gait analysis done?
