@chesves Seriously? I just posted in another thread about how I am putting together a Tips & Tricks sheet for my mother who will be starting 21DF on Monday. LOL!

Yesterday my husband announced he is going to increase his weights. He's doing P90 and is ready to go up. Because we use adjustable weights, this means I either have to readjust the weights every time I go to exercise or try going up to a heavier set myself. This morning I was going everything with 7.5 lbs instead of 5 lbs…

@crybaby2384 I use these: http://amzn.to/1JgPts9 They are slightly more expensive than these: http://amzn.to/1VzuKVa My friend uses the less expensive ones and the only real difference is that Black Mountain, the more expensive ones, come with a lifetime warranty. If a cord breaks, you can get a replacement. I've broken…

@venuila Talked with my mother yesterday. Here's how that went: Mom: Guess what I'm doing to prepare myself for 21 Day Fix. Me: Eating ice cream every day! Mom: Yes! I had a pint and a half yesterday and am going to have another pint today. Me: Ha! Do I know my mother or what? Mom: I'm going to start it on Sunday. Me:…

@mscote12 I looooove almond milk. I've used it in almost everything from tea to my protein shakes to whatever. And I busy the unsweetened kind and . . . in my coffee? NO! I have to have organic half & half. Not even organic whole milk will do. So yeah. Almond milk wouldn't cut it for me either. You are not alone.

@jcraig10 Great results for your first week and even better that you're sticking with things. And especially thrilled to hear the dress fits like a glove. @dkwi04 I'm trying to figure out what I want to do for our trip. Slim in 6 was fine for visiting with my family but it didn't really give me the focused intensity with…
-
@jvahle0110 My husband dared me to try a full body push-up. I've never done one before and I won't say it was easy but I did it! As for your next program, I can tell you what I plan on doing next: Focus T25. I haven't been able to find JM's Body Shred infomercial on TV or online and I have a feeling that the workout would…

I sent my son a text this morning asking him how PiYo Core was for him today. He replied: It was brutal! I love that my 30 year old son is doing this with me. I love that he's doing it with me and I especially love that he's not finding it easy, especially given that I am doing Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution before I do…

@LRC1975 I have two sets of adjustable free weights and Jillian doesn't allow enough of a break between for me to adjust higher but I am definitely feeling stronger. I ended up using 7.5 lbs more today than I had been. I also extended my leg while doing the presses. Making small improvements each time.

I haven't done Turbo Fire so I can't speak from experience but I found this website a while ago that creates a hybrid for you: https://workoutscheduler.net/hybrid-workout-scheduler/ Personally, I would probably replace the 21DF cardio workouts with Turbo Fire. This means you would still do Tues & Wed workouts but maybe not…
-
@vicki8seekers I am still following the 21DF plan as well. Too easy to follow to give it up. @venuila I'm planning on doing some hybrid workouts when I've worked through all of the workouts I already have (and with more programs being released, at this rate I may never do a hybrid). I've been using heavier weights with…
-
Morning Workout Used slightly heavier weights today for the chest flyes and stuck with the 5 lbs for the triceps and lateral raises. Good to see/feel some progress. :)
-
Morning Workout JMBR: Phase 1/Week 2/Workout 1 Used heavier weights for the chest press but still using 5 lbs for the triceps and lateral raises. PiYo: W2/D1/Sweat I talked with Rob today about getting some of those grippy yoga gloves because I was really struggling with my hands slipping in some of the downward dogs. And…
-
@dixiewhiskey Sorry to hear about the horrible separation but glad you're back! So glad I check in here. I may not be doing 21DF and/or 21DFX but I do find everyone else's progress and success a motivation to keep doing what I'm doing.
-
@symba FYI, I had a protein shake with fruit last night because I was falling short on my containers and it was the easiest way for me to squeeze them in. And guess what happened? I lost weight between yesterday and today. Now, I'm a huge believer in every body's body being different and what works for one person won't…
-
Hit the ground running yesterday after oversleeping after not getting a good night's sleep. Ugh. Yesterday I did both JMBR and PiYo Define Lower Body. As always, worked up a sweat. Had to hurry to take a shower so I could get out the door in time to meet a friend. Didn't eat until nearly 12:30 but managed to get nearly all…
-
My first thought was Hip Hop Abs but since you don't especially like Shaun T I would suggest Body Beast. I haven't tried it myself (but it will arrive in the mail tomorrow) but the emphasis of the whole program is build muscle for toning up so I can't imagine it wouldn't be effective. PiYo is a great core workout,…
-
@michable My husband is doing something similar with P90. On days he's not working, he is right on schedule but there are days when he works very long and physical hours. On those days, he doesn't do the workout but picks up where the schedule leaves off to get back on track. It took him over 4 weeks to finish the A…

I take pictures of my food but I don't count calories at all. I do, however, make sure I get a balance of food--vegetables, fruits, proteins, some carbs and healthy fats, etc.
-
It is amazing and I'm adding it to the list of reasons I'll never be a coach. My husband knows someone who's there. Definitely having a great time but with my balance, I don't do crowds.
-
I made no change/sacrifice in my morning cup of coffee. I use half & half organic milk and Stevia. If that affected my success it was worth the small sacrifice of having my coffee my way. I have an envelope in my smashbook of several ways I cheated while doing Round 1 of 21 Day Fix.
-
No worries. Everyone (including yours truly) overlooks it. I did for a long time and I'm still in a bit of denial about whether or not what I'm doing qualifies for moving up a bracket. I'll figure it out eventually, I suppose.
-
What @jpkrueger said. If you have any doubt that the program works as it is designed, just look at the before/after pics here in this group. Or go to instagram where you'll see a lot of average people of many shapes and sizes and ages who are losing weight following the program. Use #21dayfixresults and you'll find enough…
-
@jpkrueger Keurig has made their coffee makers DRF, meaning you can no longer buy the refillable filters. I think they are back pedaling on that decision but, until they can make those pods more environmentally friendly, I'm resisting the temptation of the machine altogether. I mean, if I have to fill a refillable filter,…
-
PiYo rest day today so I only did Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution and was very sweaty at the end. BTW, not sure if I mentioned this but, while I was out of town, my husband finally graduated from P90-A to P90-B. He's still planning on taking things sloooooowly. I did explain to him the necessity of my mixing things up…
-
Too funny. @jpkrueger I was just thinking that I may be getting rid of my morning coffee. My mother has a Keurig but feels guilty about the affect it has on the environment which is why I refuse to buy one. However, every morning I was having a perfect cup of coffee. It's sort of a no brainer and I've hated every cup of…
-
@LRC1975 LOL! If you are, can you tell me how heavy your weights are because I'm on day 5 and . . . still waiting . . . . tick tick tick. ;) P1/W2 I grabbed the heavier weights for a few of the moves--abs and sun rises (?). I had to be careful with the knee drives with the pivot because my ankle has been bothering me for…
-
@germany03 I gained 5 lbs in 12 days. So much wine and desserts practically every day. And pasta. A lot of pasta.
-
Good to know because I was/am clueless.
-
I think you'll do well and, even without the workouts, you'll drop weight. I'd be surprised if you didn't. It's always worked for me even when my weight loss was stalled.
