Awesome @AmberSpamber! I'm glad it was so easily resolved.

@doodlebug32 Definitely a strong argument for taking pics because Round 2 I didn't lose many inches (barely over 1 inch) but I do see a difference in the pictures and today I noticed that another pair of my yoga pants are getting loose. At this rate, I'll be doing 21DF naked!

@michellemybelll I keep a towel handy but I'm dripping sweat faster than I can wipe it off (and PiYo doesn't have a lot of space for grabbing a towel). I may have to invest in some sweatbands or something. My yoga mat and towel can't keep up with PiYo Sweat and/or Drench!

I have exactly the opposite problem. Last round of 21DF, I lost lbs (nearly 10) but not inches (total a mere 1.25) and it worried me because with that much weight loss, I should have lost inches. And if I am not losing inches, then how much of the was merely water weight? I don't know. Sure enough, the scale is moving up…

@Lauracharder That's awesome. @dixiewhiskey and @cindip63 Thank you!

And I disliked Pilates Fix? Now I enjoy it! Well, not the side part with the legs but, you know, I get through it in one piece in spite of myself. PiYo Drench was a new workout and I honestly don't know if I'll ever be able to do this. I was struggling hard through Sweat and this was even more difficult. @mnemonicone3…

I did Lower Body Fix today with the heavier weights and PiYo Core. I am looking at a long list of things I need and want to get done today so forgive me if I'm not as interactive and supportive today. I think I may try to keep a yellow or two for the end of my day so I can have a glass of wine. Or two.

What does your marathon training include? If the emphasis is on cardio then I would suggest following the PiYo Strength calendar to get some strength training. However, if your training already includes both, then the regular schedule would be good. Either schedule builds flexibility and strength. Don't let the first…

@AmberSpamber Sounds like you may need to eat back your calories: http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/ask-the-dietitian-should-i-eat-back-my-exercise-calories/

No pizza. My son and I ended up taking my darling granddaughter to a Chinese buffet. I loaded up on protein (mostly chicken) and veggies but the sauces were unavoidable (and delicious) and this morning my scale didn't like me. In fact, this morning nothing liked me. I took an allergy medicine last night and it exacerbated…

Yes. Below 1200? That's not healthy. Are you eating all of the containers each and every day? Even at the lowest bracket, you should be eating more than 1200 calories. Maybe not a lot more but at the bare minimum close to the 1200. I'm on the lowest bracket and I'm going to start really tracking my diet this week because…

Just found this and had to share: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-vz4i2lp5J0JXySIkT6cl3CAa6s_LqnZFQR-Bp8iXXQ/mobilebasic?pli=1 Check it out. Trust me.

Okay. Here are my photos. My husband took them for me. Before After Round 1 After Round 2

Starting Round 3 Today I lost 9.6 lbs my last time through and this time I'm not taking even a day off. I was back at it first thing this morning, doing 21DF along with PiYo. It was a rough back-to-back schedule, Total Cardio Body Fix and Sweat . . . ooph! Easier said than done but I did it. Okay. So maybe I sank back into…

Day 3 So I lost 4 lbs total and I pulled out my notes from last time I did the 3DQF and I did not lose quite that much the first time. In fact, I only lost 2 lbs previously. Since I'm doing 21DF back-to-back for a while, I'll be doing the 3DQF the last three days of each 21 day cycle.

Monday Morning Workout Started off with Total Body Cardio Fix. Still using 5 lbs for this one because I don't think I'm ready to try 8 lbs. (Those damn knee drivers . . .) PiYo Sweat was also on today's schedule. This is the one with which I struggled so hard on Saturday. So I surprised myself, being able to do it more…

Primary Goal: Lose weight to take pressure off my joints. I was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis last year and the less I weigh, the less wear and tear on my already failing joints. Secondary Goal: Weighing less will also help me to maintain my balance so I won't fall. Stronger core and arms to catch myself when I…

No, wait. My math is waaaaay off. I only lost 1.5 inches total and I gained 1.25 inches. I need to have more coffee before I try to do math.

Here are my results for Round 2 Weight 9.6 lbs Inches 3.0 I actually gained just over an inch in my thighs and lost nothing in my waist so the 3 inches is from my arms, chest, and hips.

@michellemybelll I'm SatiaRenee there too. I like to keep things simple. @venuila I am using 3&5 but I'll be bumping it up to 5&8 for my third round. The ideal increase, believe it or not, is a mere 10%. That means you should only go from 5 to 5.5 lbs. Have you ever seen 7.5 weights? Yeah. Neither have I.

I'm starting Round 3 of the regular 21DF tomorrow. There's a great MFP group here of people who are doing one or the other or even both of the programs. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/103806-21-day-fixers

@DJ478 This website will help you create a hybrid calendar of PiYo and Insanity: https://workoutscheduler.net/hybrid-workout-calendar-scheduler/#.VTzpEJNbV2A You may have to tweak the results a bit to fit your purposes but it takes a lot of the work out of figuring out when to do what and how to blend the two workouts. The…

Day 2 I have a friend who loves to talk on the phone. I loathe talking on the phone. So you can imagine how I felt yesterday after FOUR hours of talking with her. Ugh. I kept hoping someone, anyone, else would call and I'd have to end the conversation to take another call. No such luck. So yeah. I missed yet another meal…

What the . . .? I tired to post something using the app. You can see how "well" that worked. Okay. Whatever. I'm done trying to share pics on MFP. Follow me on Instagram or google+ if you want to see pics. BTW, the picture was of my Snug Jeans which I now have to call my Baggy Snug Jeans because they are getting loose on…

I just turned 53 (3 weeks and 1 day ago) and, unless my body decides to surprise me again, this July I'll officially be menopausal. I'm losing weight and dealing with the hot flashes and the rest. Add me if you like.

Theses are

@michellemybelll Truly, you put my 1.5 hours of sweating to shame. Inspiring! @cindip63 Depends on your goal. Any carbonated mixed drink will give you a faster/stronger buzz than a glass of wine. @hispraiseinme I am starting Round 3 on Monday.

@dkwi04 PiYo is another beachbody program that's supposed to be a fusions of Pilates and Yoga. Now, don't get me wrong; I'm enjoying the workouts. But Pilates &/or yoga it ain't. I really need to write a review for it but my motivation has been off lately. Here's the official website:…

@blantondwb I'm starting my Round 3 on Monday the 27th. And I can't keep up with all of the modifications either! I'm going to create a new thread that addresses the tracking of the workouts because this topic comes up time and time again but ends up buried in a long thread like this. Keep an eye out for it in about 10…

Day 1 Can you believe, I forgot to eat an entire meal? I did. I just got caught up in my day, doing gardening and taking the dogs to the park, that I missed one of the fish meals. Oh well. Today is a new day. I don't like to eat before I exercise but I often find I'm famished when I'm done. Today I did something different…
