I recently completed 2 rounds of the 21 Day Fix and I have to say that it is my favorite Beachbody program to date! I had just returned from my honeymoon cruise where I had an amazing time with my new husband but I was a little frustrated with myself. In the few weeks leading up to the wedding, I had put on a few pounds due to pre wedding stress, PLUS I ate like crazy on my honeymoon cruise (I mean, who wouldn't... all that free delicious food surrounding you all day long!) and when I weighed myself upon my return, I was at 193 pounds. I knew I had put on some weight prior to leaving on my honeymoon because I could not fit into my cute shorts so I resorted to wearing maxi dresses my entire honeymoon. I was in shock when I saw the scale because I didn't think I had gained THAT much... I guess I was in a bit of denial. I knew I had to do something. I saw my Beachbody coach posting about a new program called the 21 Day Fix and she had excellent results so I figured, why not? I placed my order and it arrived in just a few days.

The challenge back came with the 21 Day Fix Workout DVDs, a 30 day supply of Shakeology (I got chocolate flavor, it's DELICIOUS!),  a Shakeology cup, the food containers: 1 red, 1 green, 1 purple, 1 yellow, 1 blue, and 2 orange ones, and the instructional booklet that explains what foods can be put in which containers and how to calculate how many containers of each color you can eat per day based on your weight. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of food I could eat! I really never felt like I was starving on this program. You get to eat every 2 hours! The workouts are only 30 minutes long. No excuses for not being able to complete them each day and to top it off the workouts are FUN and different each day. The first day is Total Body Cardio Fix- basically works every area on your body. Second day is Upper Fix- all about upper body. You will need a set of light weights and a set of heavy weights for this workout. Third day is Lower Fix- basically LEG DAY!! It was the most challenging of all the workouts for me, but week by week I felt myself get stronger and by the third week it was a lot easier than it was the first time. Day Four is Pilates- strength building exercises, mostly on the floor so make sure you have a mat! Day Five is Cardio Fix- works out your body all around. Day Six is Dirty 30- this is the workout Autumn Calabrese (the trainer and creator of the 21 Day Fix) says is the hardest. It is intense but do as best as you can and push through! Last but not least, Day 7 is Yoga day, so Yoga fanatics, this is your day. It's a great stretch and recovery workout after a week of hard work. So, I know what you're wondering.... how much weight did you lose?  Well, here are my before and after photos:

 

I went from 193 lbs down to 179 after 2 rounds of the 21 Day Fix! And yes, those are the cute shorts I could not fit into for my honeymoon back on with a little bit of wiggle room. I feel so much happier after taking off the extra weight. My only regret was not purchasing the program BEFORE my wedding and honeymoon! So, are you ready to get results like mine?
