  • There are some great programs you can do at home. Even using a machine at a gym it is still possible to have bad form, or get injured. That being said it really depends on what works best for you. I prefer to workout in my own home, it saves me the wasted time of commuting back and forth to the gym. You could do something…
  • T25 is definitely better to start with. I own both T25 and insanity, my husband loves insanity but when I tried to do it, I found it too overwhelming for my current fitness level, and I ended up quitting. T25 is marketed for a more intermediate level of fitness, and the workouts are only 25 minutes in length, even though…
  • 21 day fix has worked for a lot of people because it simplifies healthy eating. It is designed to teach portion control, and clean eating. Its only 21 days because that is what it takes the average person to create a habit. I start the program officially tomorrow, and enjoy that simplicity of knowing what I can and can not…
  • How much weight do you have to lose? I stopped trusting the MFP calculation for how many calories I needed to eat daily, when I noticed how many people it set that the 1200 mark. Most people need more than 1200 calories per day to actually lose weight.. I use a different program now that doesn't involve counting calories,…
  • I am starting the fix hopefully tomorrow, if I can get to the store today. Hubby and I will both be doing it. I couldn't resist after I saw all the wonderful results others were getting from the program. I am super excited to get started.
  • I started T25 after training for and running marathons. A few weeks before I started I ran 2 marathons in 2 days, so I am in decent shape, T25 is still challenging for me, I am not very far into Alpha, health complications have forced me to start over more than once, but I can feel it working. You will never be able to out…
  • Many of us will struggle with this for the rest of our lives. It took me a long time to admit that I had a problem with food, and that my weight and my health was something that I needed to focus on for the rest of my life. I have done all the fad things, gained and lost, and at the end of the day I am not any healthier or…
  • None offense taken, lol you are entitled to your opinion. :) It works for me and that is all I care about.
  • lol I am a junkie myself! I will admit I am a coach, but I only became one for the discount. In fact I haven't sold a single thing. They offer the coach opportunity for free for military families, so I joined to get the discount on shakeology. My husband enjoys insanity and I am doing T25 right now and loving it. When you…
  • You are correct, I usually acess MFP from the app on my phone, so I have not been active on the message boards until yesterday. However when someone asks something about a topic I am familiar with, I am going to answer. Do I drink shakeology, yes, am I a coach, yes, do I try to convince people to buy it, nope. As I have…
  • T25 would be the better option, it comes with the resistance band which is used for some of the beta workouts, but p90x works best with some weights, although either could be adapted, you could use p90x3 with just the resistance bands. Let me know if I can help in any way ;) I am doing t25 now, and love it!
  • Feel free to add me too! I have done insanity and am now doing t25.
  • I enjoy shakeology, it's the first protein shake I tried that I liked the flavor of. Is it a quick fix, no, it's not gonna cure cancer either, but I can honestly say I feel better after drinking it, and I notice a difference if I miss a day. It's easy to call it a scheme if you haven't tried it, and it's not for everyone,…
  • The shakeology vegan version has no whey or soy protein, it uses brown rice protein, and pea protein. The flavor and texture is also very good. It comes in chocolate and tropical strawberry. Feel free to message me of you'd like to try some, I have samples.
  • T25 is the same concept as insanity, but shorter workouts designed to target your whole body at once. I got fabulous results with insanity, but struggled to fit in some of the longer workouts. T25 appeals to me because I can make 25 mins for myself every day. I am a coach with beach body, I run challenge groups with cash…
  • Not everyone pushes people to buy. I drink shakeology regularly, I became a coach so I could get the discount for myself. I help everyone I can with my free fitness accountability group on Facebook, but there are some good people that aren't all about money. Since my husband is in the military, I don't pay anything to be a…
  • I prefer to use it as a meal replacement for breakfast, the vitamins and minerals will give you an energy boost, and I like to save calories early in the day!
  • I am a self proclaimed sugar addict, the only thing that helps with my cravings, is shakeology. The chocolate flavor makes me feel like I'm getting a treat, it helps me reach my protein goal for the day, but I have found that I also do not desire the sweets anymore.
