I am a very strong willed and driven person, I will succeed!

Well I am doing 21 day fix and I really like it. My friend is doing T25, but is in better shape than me so it is a pretty good one as well. I have also done numerous Jilian Michaels' DVDs that are really great for starting out with and only 30 minutes so even one of her $10 videos are great and many people on MFP have had…

And I said it is pointless and not helping anyone if there is so much crap like that posted that it makes it hard to find the relevant information.

Actually ordered it before all this and before searching the forums, so no. I never said you can't oppose me, I just don't get people making unnecessary comments that lend nothing to the topic at hand. You get a teaspoon of peanut butter at a time fyi.

No I wasn't talking about anyone on this post being a jerk, basically because I was open to all answers when I initiated the post, just when people are being horrible to someone who posted about whatever program they may be doing. Why does someone feel the need to post "I hate Beachbody (or whatever it has to do with)"…

I honestly never thought about the people searching Google and finding these posts, but I don't think it is an excuse for people to be incredibly rude. You can comment with facts not just be an over opinionated jerk about it to the person who believes in it.

I understand your issues with the program, I know it's not for everyone I just don't want to get bashed for choosing it and I thank you for not doing that. :) I am just looking at this as an investment for me, yeah it is overpriced Tupperware but hey if it succeeds in teaching me proper portioning I am cool with that. They…

No that is not what I am saying at all. My point is if someone is just looking for others doing the program they already are doing why do people feel the need to bash the fact that they are doing this program? I honestly have no problem joining a Beachbody group, I was just searching the forum for 21 day fix and it seemed…

There is no problem with any of that, to me that is what this program is helping me learn. The problem is when people are already committed to a program and it is working for them but all the comments are you are doing it wrong, do this instead. Not necessarily just this program.

I don't buy into the whole shake thing, I got a free sample from someone and I thought they were horrible.

Yes I agree with the portion planning needing only those things but again I like the fact that if I am portioning chicken I just grab the red container fill it and then dump in a zip lock and keep going. Yes you could use a scale to do this but I get too meticulous about it and want it to be at exactly 4.0 ounces so it is…

Oh and I do appreciate all the comments.

For me it is just a quicker portioning and planning system than what I had been using and I can continue using it past 21 days, they call it the 21 day fix because by then it should be a habit. This post isn't just about this program btw that was just the one I was getting frustrated with when I was searching for others…

I was referring to the fact that if you are using the TDEE method you are not using the automatic settings that MFP sets for you and I do agree with MFP being a good place to do that.

I didn't realize there was an ignore option... That is good to know and I do agree.

I have a food scale and hate it because you are always having to look up how much a proper portion should be when you are weighing it. That is why I like the containers idea, get the container fill it up dump on plate stupid easy quick portioning for me. I can use the containers from here on out, it doesn't have to stop at…

I personally am going into this program from the nutrition stand point because I feel that the color coded containers is something that will work for me, but I do get what you are saying about the name and I completely agree that it sounds like something of a quick fix. I also agree with the fact that it could be done…

Oh I understand what you are saying, but why do people feel the need to comment negatively on a post that reads " I am starting (insert program name here) and looking for others who are doing said program!"? That is doing the exact opposite of what this poster was looking for, they are not asking others to do the program…

Actually this is the first Beachbody thing I have bought, but I won't necessarily buy any of their other stuff so this is not a sales pitch. I'm not being a child, I just hate that I look up a program and seeing people looking for support but all the dang comments are cutting them down for making a choice that isn't…

Actually after the 21 days you should be able to tell what a proper portion is without the containers and you should be trained to eating an all encompassing diet daily. I normally forget to eat fruits or enough protein and this program is helping remind me to do that. It's not that people are mean per say, it's just that…

So your outfit could be appropriate, I personally just don't like it because it really does not flatter your body in my opinion. Maybe your husband just doesn't like the look of it (doesn't think that it is cute) and just didn't want to tell you that so he reached for another excuse that you might listen to and not take…

I started RI30 last night, but I am thinking about rotating 30DS and RI30 every other night.

I honestly just prefer the Ripped in 30 layout more than the Shred. On 30 day shred you do a full minute of one move for cardio and then move on to the 2nd move for a minute, on RI30 you only do the first move for 30 seconds the 2nd move 30 seconds and then start at the first for another round making it 2 minutes. I prefer…

Amazing!! This is wonderful to see, keep at it you are doing great!

This sounds so good.

Well I started Saturday, but I am actually on a C210K plan. I did day one with no problem so I will probably jump to week 2 today since Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays work better for me. Good luck smcdaniel9506 it will be worth it! And thank you for the encouragement nh38318!

Is a loving father!

Oh my, this is me exactly!!! I never had to do anything else really because I was naturally on the thinner side and ate whatever I wanted. Then came my kiddo and I gained weight and started doing all of this: the excuses, denying that I was getting bigger, denying the fact that I can't eat whatever I want and stay the…

Totally awesome, hopefully I will be posting something like this in about 3 months give or take!!

Bump!!
