I am interested in the 21 day fix. I have heard many people talk about it but I still don't know much about it. Just wondering if anyone on here has done it, or is a coach. What was your results like and did you like it? Also how did you find the price. I am a very picky eater so I have concerns with that. As for the people who will say 'just go to the gym and eat healthy' I already try to do that the best I can. Just looking for more motivation, ect.

I have done it before and I definitely got results (lost 6 pounds, 8 inches), but I didn't exactly enjoy the 21 days. First, the workouts are very repetitive and get boring real fast but they do go by fairly quick - only 30 minutes. Second, the containers are a lottt smaller than you would think. Lots of people say they are so full with using them, but I still found myself fairly hungry throughout. I paid 65 + taxes and S&H. It worked out to be close to 100. If you want to purchase it with the Shakeology I believe it's 170 before taxes. In the end, I would say it works if you're looking for a quick fix, but I couldn't see myself doing it over and over as I would get way too bored of it. If you're good with getting motivation at home and being able to stick with it I would say go for it though!

Is there a maintenance program or is this just a "quick weight loss plan, but you gain it back" program?

speaking out of turn here, as I do not know the full in and out of the "program"....but for close onto $100.00 you can get a whole whack of ziplock containers and do exactly the same thing with a little self planning. As for the workouts, there are a ton on Youtube that will give you the same intensity and results.  
Honestly, your best bet is spend that $100.00 and go to a local gym and have a consultation with a REAL personal trainer that has taken the schooling for it. The problem with bbody and their "life coaches" are they are the same as you are right now, except they might be 1 month ahead of you. They have NO formal training and do not know what is best for you. When you sit down with a PT, they actually listen to your situation and have the resources at their finger tips to put you on the right path....if you stick to it. Bbody thrives themselves on selling you one program, but in order for ultimate success you should by the drinks, then you should buy this program because you are now completed the 21 day program and buy more shakes. A good PT will sell you the workout/meal plan and they MAY try to sell you a gym membership so they can encourage you.  
And for the record I have fallen for quick fixes and none last. I have tried multiple weight/fat loss programs/suppliments, workouts, and looked into most of the mainstream ones too. The hardest thing to come to grips with it....the ONLY way to get to where YOU are happy is HARD WORK! And even then for some of us it takes even harder work (my wife can tell you how much money I have wasted and how hard I work at the little results I see). I know this isn't what you asked, but I just hate seeing people waste money on crap programs like these, when there are cheaper and easier ways.

...this plan a few years ago. I found it interesting and it inspired me to do more research on what I should be eating and how much. Although I didn't do the plan, over the next few days and weeks, I found a diet plan that I could live with (1800 calories, 45 yr old male) and then found a 4 week workout plan that had variety so as to keep me motivated. I took advantage of the cheat day and for the first 3 weeks cut out alcohol. Lost 15 pounds and have been able to keep it off for 2 years (215 to 200). I am heavier now at about 208 but I am at a healthy weight and have swapped fat for muscle which is fine with me. Trying to drop 5 keeps me motivated.  
Anything that will inspire you to learn to eat better, what to avoido and how much is enough is a step in the right direction. 4 to 5 days in gym lifting weights is a must with cardio mixed in but not the majority of the workouts.  
 
You'll get lazy but if you stick with it for the first 21 days, there is more likelyhood that it will become a habit and THAT is the goal. Don't worry about the weight or results, establish the habit, the rest will come.

I am currently starting the 21 Day Fix for the second time around 1st time I lost 10 inches and 11 lbs! 30 min work outs are easy to fit in every day and there's so many recipes! Autumn is a great motivator it really helps you push through some of the harder workouts if you'd like any more info or are interested in ordering send me an email and I will do my best to help you.

I am in round 2 and down almost 10 lbs (sometimes my eating isn't like it should be) so it could be more but I am taking this as a lifestyle change opposed to just a "diet". I am also a beachbody coach and the 21 day fix program is on sale this month so if you are interested let me know . I love the shakeology shake!!

i think BigDaddy 2 gave some decent advice, and if you need the extra motivation and dont have cash for a PT you can always get your friends together for workout motivation for free  
 
personally i dont like any of the mlm/home sellers, just go buy what you want from a store, when you want it for cheaper too

Call Erin @ 2047616113 tell her Maxine refered you to her. She is a coach and sells it.

21 day fix changed my life. I went from embracing icecream and chips to working out everyday. I don't have a gym to go to where I live and as a busy mom 30 min is tough enough to get in some days. It's nice to be able to just check in with a coach online or on phone without having to go anywhere, no paying for lost or gained weight (you can actually win money for lost weight). It was the program that fit me and fit my life. It worked

It's very rare for short-duration programs to be effective weight loss strategies in the long term.  
 
Try reading the book "The Cure for Everything" by Timothy Caulfield. It's entertaining, and it tells you what works, what doesn't, and why. Your library will be able to hook you up with a copy.

I have also been considering this myself. The only thing is would I stick to the workout every day

I just finished my first week and I love it! Really got me into a routine & yes you can easily spend the $100 on a gym pass but I feel it's a good investment. You will always have it & I have a smaller living room but the workouts don't require much space & they are very effective. Also much easier to do at home with the kids around rather than finding time for the gym. Changed my eating habits & stuck to the workout & lost 5 lbs in the first week. I stopped eating past 7:00 pm & did my workout first thing in the morning before eating followed by a protein shake. i didn't do the shakeology I find any protein powder is effective.

I really like the nutrition system with the containers - this has made me way more aware of what I'm eating and how much. Even when I'm not actively doing the 21 day fix, I still try to follow the nutrition plan as much as I can.  
 
I am currently starting another round of the fix in preparation for a wedding I will be attending.  
 
The $100 is worth it because you can use it over and over again as needed.

I don't see this program as a diet. It's 21 days to break bad habits and start new ones. A lifestyle change. If you continue this healthier lifestyle, even a simplified form of it, yes, you should be able to keep the weight off. I've lost almost 20lbs and am able to keep it off. If anyone's interested...

I am a beachbody coach and all I can tell you is that the 21 day fix has changed a lot in my life including my routine, the way I look at fitness, and my meal planning. Before Beachbody and the 21 day fix I tried multiple workout programs and multiple diets all of which worked at first but as soon as I stopped the weight was back on! This has not happened with Beachbody and I am continuously seeing the results!  
The 21 day fix is an amazing program and I would recommend it to anyone! Whether you are trying to lose weight, tone your body, or just live a healthier live style overall this is a great place to start!! I currently have a 64 year old doing the program with me and she is absolutely killing it! Every workout has modifications that you can do until you work your way up! The 21 day fix not only incorporates a 30 minute workout into your daily schedule but also teaches you have to meal plan and meal prep so that you can have long term success!  
I will be running a 21 day fix challenge group pre-starting June 29 with the actual fitness and nutrition part starting July 6. These challenges are run by beachbody coaches so that you always have the support and guidance you need and you will have the motivation from the challenge group to keep going and to pushing yourself to your goal.  
For those of you saying it's not worth it or saying it's another fad 'diet' I can assure you it is worth it and it is definitely not a fad diet. This program teaches you what you need to know so that you can be successful and you get a personal coach that you can confide in and ask any questions whenever you need! Why waste money on a gym membership when you can buy a program that WORKS and do it from the comfort of your own home?  
If anyone wants more information please PM me! Deadline to sign up for the July challenge group is this weekend! Even if you are on the fence, please message me and I will tell you all about my success story with Beachbody!
