I really need to start doing something more active and am thinking about buying one of these BeachBody programs. I love going to real life fitness classes but it just doesn't work out with our crazy schedule right now. I just ran a 5k (barely, ha!) but still need to lose quite a bit of weight and get in better shape.
Has anyone done one or both of these programs? Did you like it / hate it?

I love piyo! For me, it's a great complement to cardio workouts (I'm a runner). But alone I'm not sure would burn enough calories for significant weight loss. I haven't tried 21 day fix but I think the nutritional part of it is a big factor in success.

21 Day Fix is amazing! The containers and nutrition plan are what really helped me. I think if you take that portion of the program, you can really incorporate any exercise that you want.

@mamabolt: @NavyRN2012: Thanks! Although I hate it I probably need the nutrition part more than anything. I'm the kind of person who feels like if I workout I can eat oreos for breakfast 
Thanks!

@HappyBaker: Hahaha I feel you. Every time my weight creeps up I start counting calories again and realize that I am eating back my workouts and then some. Ughhh why does bad food taste so good!

21 day fix is awesome! I love the workouts. They are only 30 minutes and go by so fast. I kind of follow the containers, some days are better than others. If I don't meal plan it makes it harder but I can usually find enough random items to fill them up for the day
Eta: I have piyo as well and the workouts just don't keep me focused. I got really bored.

My husband and I are doing the 21 day and it's really good. I haven't gotten annoyed with the trainer yet (I was ready to strangle Jillian by week two when I did her 30 Day Shred). We use the containers, kinda, and we opted not to do the shakes and I'm still seeing results.

@KT326: Thanks for your input since you have both! @Ginger333: That's great that your husband is doing it too, maybe I'll ask mine as well. Would be so much easier to stick to!

@HappyBaker: I'm on my 2nd week of 21 Day Fix Extreme and I really like it so far. The eating plan has been great and the workouts are good. You can eat a ton, but really have to meal plan. I lost 4 lbs last week.
My coach was/is on the Bee, but we talk through IG, if you want a coach. It's been nice to have someone hounding me to be sure I'm doing ok with it and to keep me supported.

I think I am actually going to start Piyo tomorrow! If you haven't done it already, beach body on demand has a 30 day trial. I am going to try it before I commit to spending the money!

@Mrs. Lion: if you want a buddy let me know when you start and I will start! I've been procrastinating about starting.

@MrsH: Yes! I am planning on alternating run days and piyo, and I think tonight I am going to go for a run, so piyo tomorrow

@Mrs. Lion: Oh thanks! I think I'm going to do 21 day fix first since I need the food help, but good luck with Piyo and let us know how you like it!

@HappyBaker: did you try this?
Anyone else have results they want to share?

@Twolittlemen: Yes! I did 21 day fix. I didn't stick to the eating plan very well but did work on my portions / eating more healthy, and I did the workouts pretty religiously. I lost 6lbs and overall really liked the workouts. It was nice that every day was something different and they are only 30 minutes. With the holidays I sort of fell off the bandwagon because I feel like there are not enough hours in the day, but I'm hoping to start the workouts again soon!
