R2/W1/D2, Upper Fix done!! So far, I like Fix more than Extreme. Although I'm only 2 workouts into Fix (I completed Extreme) I find the longer rep sessions more efficient. I'm not stopping, bending over (breaking form) to pick up different weights or change positions every 30 seconds. And because she dedicated more time to…

I must know what Autumn said about PB. I just LOVE peanut butter and ALWAYS get into trouble every time I try to incorporate it into my diet. And I'm using the "all natural" stuff too. No sugary Jiff for me, yet, I go overboard.

Shell, during weight loss do you plan your meals and treat foods in advance? Do you just log calories? Do you eat at regular intervals vs. whenever you're hungry?

Thanks for the detailed response. I'm doing a similar thing now, maintaining but wishing I was losing. I also gave into some cravings tonight and felt that old feeling of, "I'll go back on (my super restrictive commercial diet plan) tomorrow." It didn't take long to realize that would put me back into the binge-restrict…

I laced my cross-trainers like this and really like the snug fit. I no longer have to tie them with a double knot. The laces are harder to loosen for removal, though.

Satia, thanks for the tip! I'll look for that group. I hope your laptop is fixed and your son is wrong. Isn't there a Lemon Law for these kinds of problems? So frustrating! Doodle, nice job getting back on track. I hear you with the "starting over" stuff. This is life, it's continuously moving, from start to end. There's…

Satia, if you can swing it, I'd try it out. If it doesn't make a difference, you're out $130, unless they have a smaller trial pack, and you won't be left wondering. I'm happy with my current whey powder and wouldn't pay for Shakeology but Lord knows I've paid a lot for diet/fitness stuff over the years and even though I'm…

Of course, I'll get it when it comes out. I've really liked the taste and simplicity of the recipes in her Fix booklets, except for the dressings. The creamy avocado and Dijon balsamic weren't my favorites.

I'm starting my count over since today marked day 1 of regular Fix. So,... R2/W1/D1 Total Body Cardio Fix was a more intense cardio workout compared to the Extreme Cardio!! I was surprised but it was higher intensity and longer intervals (1 minute constant movement vs. 30 seconds). I did not follow the modifier but…

Welcome everyone! Wishing you success! Tara, the food guide is pretty specific about that stuff. For example, a protein is 2 "whole" eggs. There are things you can't put in the containers, like asparagus spears, and for those, she gives an amount, like 10...I'm forgetting.

Upper Fix Extreme done! I was able to use heavier weights throughout, 8 & 10 pounds vs. 5 & 8. I did "Dolphins" from my toes and tricep dips from the floor, not the edge of my Reedbok Step. I just love the 21 Day Fix Extreme workouts! I planned on starting regular Fix tomorrow, wondering if it's going to feel like a step…

Satia, I feel your frustration re: weight loss but I'll say it again, you are such a fitness inspiration for me! Whenever I feel like being a slug, I read about your "doubling up" workouts consistent efforts to tweak your diet and it's like a shot of motivation. I get the joint pain thing too. When I get below 170, my…

Lol, JP, so true!

Alayna, I love it! I ordered Extreme, by mistake and started with that, losing 4.5" and 2.2 pounds just eating my MFP calories. I modify the Plyos though since they bother my knees and there are a lot of them. I just received regular Fix and will probably start that Monday. I like the 30 minute workouts and as someone very…

Wow! Great results, Dixie! I can't believe the scale doesn't reflect a big loss, looks like you've lost.

I just got this program and look forward to starting it, after I finish the 21 Day Fix program. My only concern is the Plyo moves since they are hard in my knees. Anyone have to modify the Plyos?

I really like the 21 Day Fix Extreme workouts. I also liked p90X but was not in good shape when I did that and it got too tough and long but the cueing and pace were great. Didn't like Turbo Jam but I'm not a dance-y person. I won't do Shakeology just because there are cheaper alternatives.

Great! Were yours soft too? I wish they were more solid so I could take them on the road.

..."Frank said it was a favorite of the “whole food” fanatics. “Bitter chocolate tastes bad, therefore it must be good for you,” he said. “It’s like a religion.” I'd like to meet Dr. Frank.

D21/R1 Dirty 30 done!! I'm increasing my weights and now able to do the full minute of one legged squats, each leg! I skipped yesterday and felt like garbage all day. No coincidence, I didn't eat well either. It's amazing how exercise has such a positive effect on my day.

I like Jillian's 30 Day Shred and Jackie Warner's DVDs. I also really like most of the 21 Day Fix Extreme workouts.

Thanks! I really get a lot out of our group here. It helps a lot to see other peoples' stats and know they're "pressing play" regardless of whatever else is happening in life.

D21/R1 results: -4.25 inches...the only parts that didn't show a change were my thighs, despite working those suckers hard. -2.2 pounds...admittedly my diet has been lousy lately. My current weight=175. My goal weight =150. Supposedly my maintenance calories are around 2400. Most days I eat about 2300 and feel satisfied.…

Yes! That decaf seals the meal time closed, for me.

I did this and still do if I don't follow my routine, which is: Eat dinner Clean up Decaf coffee GET OUT OF KITCHEN stay out until snack around 8pm LEAVE KITCHEN FOR NIGHT If I putter around the kitchen after those set meals, I'm doomed to eat compulsively. I try to save enough calories to enjoy a high fat, high calorie…

I was about 220 with my first pregnancy and gained about 15 pounds. I was about 230 with my second and gained 19 pounds, both babies were healthy.

Haley, I'm doing Extreme (bypassed the regular w/o, mistakenly) and started modifying the modifier. Do what you can. D20/R1 Extreme and I'm thinking of taking the day off, or subbing Yoga Fix for Dirty 30 due to bilateral knee pain. I need to back off the Plyos. I just ordered the regular Fix, hoping the less intense…

Thanks, Msmeganrock! It feels better knowing there are other people taking it slowly. Over the past few days, I've been eating at maintenance and weighing in daily....silly. Maybe on these holiday weekends I'll eat at maintenance and other times, eat at a slight deficit. As long as I'm not gaining consistently, I'll be…

Boyz, just sent you a message ;)

Tsikkz, that sounds like something that worked well for me while I was in Overeaters Annonymous. I would call fellow members just to get out of my head and by the end of the conversation, the urge to binge was gone. The same happens if I just get out amongst people. I love window shopping for this reason!
