Exercising With a Balance Disorder
I searched both the community and groups and I didn't see anyone posting about exercising with a balance disorder. I know that many conditions--from MS to BPPV--can cause balance disorders. Even aging can cause people to become less able to maintain a steady balance. Exercising is challenging. Exercising with a balance…

Tracking Food
Okay. I can't believe I didn't know this. Are you ready? * Go to MFP on your computer (this does not work on the app) * Go to Settings * Go to Diary * Scroll down to "Meal Names" * Change the names to the container colors * You can also add the number of containers you have for the day beside each color Unfortunately,…

21 Day Fix Without the Containers
I'm curious. I've seen a lot of people say that they are doing 21DF without using the containers and I am wondering if any of you who are not using the containers at all are having success with the program. And if you are not using the containers, are you using the DVDs?

OT Daily Check-In
For those of us who still want to be active in the group but not currently doing 21 Day Fix, I figured I'd create this discussion thread. Of course, those of you doing 21 Day Fix are welcome to come here and cheer us on or ask questions about the programs we're using now or whatever. Here's what I'm doing now, to keep my…

Official 21 Day Fix App
Go to your App Store and look for the app released by Beachbody LLC. It's free and created by the company that created the program so you know it's reliable. Yay!

Starting JM's Body Revolution July 13th
Yes, I know I'm planning way ahead but that's because I am going out of town and didn't want to start this program and try to keep gong when I knew I would be out of town and in a guest room where I might not have much space for moving around and such. I chose to do a program that is also less intense because I'll be doing…

BOD (Beachbody on Demand) Questions
I don't know how many of you use BOD. I do not but I am curious. I was thinking of signing up for the 30 day trial but then I realized that when I wanted to do it, we would be out of town. I don't know if BOD is available outside the US. Does anyone know if it is or not? Specifically, I would want to know if it's available…

Brazil Butt Lift in September
I am planning on doing BBL beginning September 7. I think I'll be traveling for a couple of weeks in October (still waiting on confirmation emails and itinerary) and I figured this is a good workout to take with me because it doesn't require a lot of equipment. I know that one of the workouts uses weights but I'll just…

Moving Up a Bracket
I think I'm going to bite the bullet, as it were, and see what happens when I move up a food bracket. I've been doing two programs for a while now and recently added in more cardio a few times a week. I've been skirting the idea for a while now because I've been brainwashed to believe that the only way to lose weight is…

Slim in 6
I'm starting this program (doing it in conjunction with some other things I am already doing) on June 1 and was wondering if anyone else out there is either doing the program or getting ready to start it. Debating whether it's worth creating a group here on MFP or not. Thought we could have some accountability, share…

Modifying Modifications
Okay. As most of you know, I exercise in spite of myself sometimes. I have a balance disorder (cervical vertigo) and bad joints (severe osteoarthritis) and I often have to modify things. Every now and again, I have to even modify the modifier. Figuring out how to modify something can be a little confusing, though, and I…

Tracking Workouts
This question comes up over again: How do I add my workouts to the MFP exercise diary? If you have a heart rate monitor that is truly your best means of calculating how many calories you've burned. If you do not have a heart rate monitor, this website has been recommended in various threads on MFP:…

New Autumn Program Coming
Just learned about this: http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/master-hammer-chisel-workout.do Looks like she's collaborating with the creator of Body Beast. And it's a 60 day program. Oh boy!!!

21 Day Fix Results
I posted about my results in my blog. I'll be starting again on 6 April!!! Bear in mind, I could only do the modified versions of almost all of the exercises, that I didn't even use any weights during the first week, and that I'll be 53 on Saturday. All of these elements add up to my not expecting significant numbers.…

21DFX Spreadsheet
I finally uploaded an excel spreadsheet for tracking 21 Day Fix Extreme: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14M5EgqGH8UW7eqLgAIVndSGAK3_dSutfSzOtAt7-JL4/edit?usp=sharing If you see anything I need to change, let me know.

21 Day Fix While Traveling
I saw this and wanted to share: http://www.jennfehrenbacher.com/21-day-fix-while-traveling/ Can you think of any other tips or tricks while traveling to help those of us who will be on the road this summer? (There's no hope for me when I go to visit my family in July. It won't be all bad but my mother and I believe in…

Not Doing 21DF. Now what?
I think it was @dixiewhiskey who said she wouldn't be around the group as much because she wasn't going to be dong 21 Day Fix and/or Extreme for a while. This brings up an interesting question. What does a group member do when they decide to move onto other workout programs? The focus of this group has been Autumn's…

21DF Spreadsheet
@mrsewert asked and has received. I've created a spreadsheet you can download and save and/or print. If you prefer to just track on your computer, you can use it online or, if you prefer to print things out, you can easily print the pages and make a sort of exercise journal.…

TOM TMI--For Women Only--Escuse Me While I Rant
Any masculine eyes reading this, you've been duly warned. For those of you who don't know, I'm in my early 50s so I'm going through The Change. Actually, I'm not minding it much. Hot flashes give me an excuse to buy pretty hand-fans and I had insomnia when I was young so having the occasional sleepless night now is more…

Doubling Up During Third Week
So I am about to hit my third week of my third round and I was thinking of doubling up the workouts, which is what I guess we're (optionally) supposed to do. But I'm already doing 21DF and PiYo back-to-back and was wondering how those of you who doubled up did it. Did you do it back-to-back or do one 21DF workout in the…

Starting Slim in 6 in June
I've been doing back-to-back rounds of 21 Day Fix since April along with PiYo. But my 8 weeks with the latter are coming to a close and I thought I'd mix things up by choosing a less intense program. So Slim in 6 should fit the bill. I'll still be doing 21DF along with it, though. Is anyone else doing it or about to start…

Other Beachbody Programs
I figure some of us may have and/or have done and/or know about some other Beachbody products (workout programs, supplements, etc.) and it might help if we had a thread devoted to non-21DF/X topics. Yes, I mostly thought this would be a good idea because I have some questions about several different products so you know .…

Recipes
My BeachBody coach shared this recipe for broccoli and I thought I'd share it here with all of you: Change up your broccoli! After steaming broccoli, toss it in a teaspoon of coconut oil! It changes up the flavor & makes it yummy. You can also add a dash of sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, or slivered almonds for crunch. I'm…

Free Printables
I am finding free printables online for tracking the food. Here's one I found on Team Beachbody. Just print pages 2 & 3 because the first shows you how to fill it in (even though it's pretty self explanatory). http://www.teambeachbody.com/en_US/home/-/dl_get_file/63ed4bd0-648e-4b71-9448-166a92d5973f Hope this helps you.…

Say Hello to MissConduct14 (aka Member 150!)
In under 2 months this group has grown from 2 to 150! That's amazing! Say hello to @MissConduct14. And maybe send a thank you to @sbicica who created this group. I don't know about you but I would have been more than a little lost along the way if not for the insight, input, and shared successes. It's hard to get…

Please Tell People About This Group
I hate the message boards because I am disgusted with how judgmental and mean people can be. Someone vulnerable enough to reach out for help and/or information gets insulted with sarcastic, unhelpful, responses. It's discouraging and disappointing, especially given how we all know that this journey towards health and…

App for Android
Just found out that there's a 21DF app for Android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Longwell.x21DayFix&hl=en I have an iPhone so this doesn't do me any good but I thought it might help someone else. Tell us if you try it and how it works.

Using the Food Containers
You probably already know that Autumn has a youtube channel but I found some great videos of hers that really help give some ideas of how to use the food containers. Here is the first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApYJe_9XVyg There are two more like it. I hope you'll find some inspiration and maybe we can share our own…
