Question for the MFPs doing21DFX Are you following the meal plan and, if so, which one? I looked at the Countdown to Competition and there's the 2 days on, 1 day off plan. But then there's "Other Ways to Get It Done" which has 2 weeks of the extreme and the final week with CTC or 2 days extreme and 1 day CTC. It's nice to…

@mrsewert That may be my next line of defense. I'm going to stick with Intermittent Fasting from now through the end of the month (when I'm not doing the 3 Day Quick Fix and/or the 3 Day Refresh). Then I leave on vacation and, when I get back, I'll probably drop some pounds simply by going back to using the containers. If…

@jpkrueger I think you need to check out my Instagram. @dkwi04 commented on my pics the last time I did 3DQF about how great my food looked. I make even 3DQF look good. LOL!

I'm going to watch the DVDs again today and see if I'm brave enough to try 21DFX starting on Monday. I was thinking about it but then watched the DVDs and had second thoughts. I guess now I'm having third and fourth thoughts because I really had hoped to lose more weight before July 1. Are you following the meal plan?

I'll know Saturday morning. I usually do my weekly weigh-in on Sunday but Saturday I have a feeling I'll be having a treat meal (or two) so I may want to count my Saturday as my weekly weigh-in. Normally my treat falls on a Sunday so it doesn't impact my weigh-in. And there's a perverse part of me that's fascinated by the…

Morning Workout In spite of my raging headache, I managed to get through the workout today. 21DF: R4/W3/D3: Lower Body Fix My knees are not happy today (or last night for that matter) so today was a challenge but I kept up. Slim in 6: Start It Up I did the full 10 push-ups although the last one was a real effort. My arms…

Starting the 3DQF again today. I know it's supposed to be the final 3 days of each round but we are going to the Renaissance Festival on Saturday and I wouldn't be able to do it while out all day so I am going to do it a bit early. Just did my day 1 weigh-in. Curious to see if I lose anything. I'm not doubling up the…

@mrsewert In a video I shared in another thread, Autumn specifically says that in her eyes PB2 is NOT fix approved (which is why I'm surprised when I see so many coaches encouraging its use). She also seems to say in this video that natural peanut butter is preferred:…

@walkdmc Well, unless you are steaming, baking, and such without adding any oils to your cooking, then you can still enjoy 2 tsps of peanut butter. Alas, the minute you stir fry or spray olive oil in the pan while cooking eggs . . . guess what? You lose at least 1 tsp. EVERY TIME! And if I remember correctly, Autumn wants…

I think that would be great, a printable tracker or even a tracker someone could copy and update online. Google docs makes it doable either way.

@germany03 The other day my coach shared a link to her youtube channel and the newest video was her sharing some information she received during a seminar or workshop she participated in with Autumn Calabrese herself. So what, right? Well, as it turns out, some of the info Autumn shared included how to find your bracket if…

@mrsewert I don't but I know I could put one together easily enough. Which workouts though? I mean, Pilates and Yoga don't really lend themselves to focusing on reps. So just the cardio and upper/lower ones? Also, I don't have the bonus Plyo DVD so if you would need that, you'd need to find someone else to do that. Maybe…

@germany03 That's a brilliant reason to treat yourself. I merely graduated Magna Cum Laude so you put me to shame. ;)

Morning Workout 21DF: R4/W3/D2: Upper Body Fix Used my light and heavy weights. Didn't miss a rep and/or alternate. Did 20/10 modified push-ups. Slim in 6: Slim & 6-Pack and Slim & Limber After yesterday's workout, I expected the ab workout to be easier than it was. I think it's fair to say that any workout that includes a…

@walkdmc Not sure if you realize this but there's a JM Body Revolution group here on MFP. I won't be starting the workouts until July 13, when I get home from my visit home with my family. Everyone My laptop is back and now I have to set up everything from scratch because, as I suspected they had to replace everything. My…

I'm grateful that my coach hasn't tried to push Shakeology on me but at this point I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't bite the very costly bullet and give it a try because I had really hoped to be at a certain weight and/or size by the time I see my family in July and right now I just don't think it's going to happen.…

Really Hard to Push Play My PiYo results were not outstanding. Remember how I lost nearly 10 lbs the first 3 weeks but lost no inches at all? That had me worried and since then I've been gaining both weight and inches. So my end results were 8.6 lbs and 2.5" total. But I'm gaining gaining gaining. Worst of all, I'm gaining…

Well, I am in week 5 of gaining weight and inches. Albeit, not a lot but everything is moving in the wrong direction. I know I'd be just as frustrated if I were gaining and losing the same few pounds but right now even that would feel better than gaining in increments.

@dkwi04 You know my Round 3 results were not great and it looks like Round 4 is not going to be much better. I can't wait to hear what your results are with 21DFX. I just can't imagine that you wouldn't see amazing results.

@haleymiller0707 Personally, I would do Dirty 30 and Yoga Fix back-to-back. As Autumn says about the program "I put it there fora reason" and every day's workout serves a specific purpose. Everyone No word on my laptop so I'm guessing at least another 3 days of being mostly offline. Very annoying. I had another NSV…

Still No News No new information about my laptop. I'm assuming I'll be getting a whole new motherboard. Morning Workout 21 Day Fix: R4:W2:D6: Dirty 30 I still can't do the Renegade Rows without dropping to my knees. I'm going to let my ability, or lack thereof, to do the planks in 21DF be the indicator that it's time for…

I may not be commenting (because this laptop hates me) but I'm keeping up with everyone's amazing progress because I need the inspiration! My official PiYo weigh-in is this Monday. Eep!

@haleymiller0707 Research suggests that most people do best weighing once a week. This is why programs like Weight Watchers have weekly meetings with weekly weigh-ins. However, there's research that suggests some people do better if they weigh daily. I don't know if Beachbody has an official stance on when it's best to…

Laptop Update Finally got an email yesterday saying that they are working on my laptop. Odds are, it needs a new motherboard. Crappy manufacturing resulting in my having a laptop that has to be gutted and rebuilt over and over and over again. *sigh* Morning Workout 21DF: R4/W2/D4: Pilates Fix Well, if I thought I might be…

Still plan on starting July 13. I will be returning from a trip the day before. Not even giving myself a day of rest before starting a new routine.

sigh Still no word from the repair place about my laptop. Not even a confirmation it was received. I am not patient and have decided that I'm too old to learn now. I want my laptop back so I can get back to my normal routine!!! and probably gaining My ankle is sore and my knees are in pain. I am still gaining. Albeit in…

PiYo Burpee Someone asked about the PiYo Burpee and the best example I could find is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUHnmHZhyoQ In this video, the woman does a punch going straight forward (jab) but Chalene's modifier, Michelle, does a cross punch. I personally prefer the cross punch because I feel it engages…

My Knee Hurts If I had any doubts about gaining weight, don't you know my joints are letting me know that I am gaining. Ugh. Exercising with pain is not fun. Morning Workout 21 Day Fix: R4/W2/D1 As you know, my husband picked up some new weights so we gave away our other set to my son and his wife. I had been using 5 & 8…
