mrscrcalli · July 2014

Anyone doing this challenge?

A friend I mine is wanting me to do it with her but I've never heard of it.
Looked up is the shakes are ok while breastfeeding it says yes cause they are all plant based bla bla bla Any opinions from A14?

So are you doing the whole piyo thing? Are you breastfeeding?

all of these fad diets/systems/programs make me want to punch a puppy. a few people on my facebook feed are so obnoxiously into these programs and post before/after pictures and stats of their cleanses and their measurements and their trips to the conferences.

all that said, i know absolutely nothing about these particular programs. i'd be happy to look at ingredients lists for you though, love!

in my opinion, balanced eating and sensible exercise are the most surefire way to a lifelong commitment to health. not easy, but reliable anyway!!

These are more like a series of DVD workouts using the high intensity cardio style.. The shake is just like a "bonus"

But if you want to use your momma powers and look at the ingredience for me I wouldn't mind having the shakes now that I'm going back to work, it they are safe.

I was going to day exactly what @MamaFantastic‌ said. I was thinking this was like Isagenics or something. I have a few GFs that do it and they are all "I've lost x and I'm y... And I'm down to 1200cal a day before excercise" And I'm all "no s***, I would be too if I was only taking in 1200cal a day!"

I now have two sisters that are beachbody coaches so I am doing the program. I would love to try piyo because I am currently doing Charlene Johnson's chalean extreme videos and am loving them. The shakes are pretty good. Especially will be nice for going back to work, but the stuff is expensive. Give it a try if you are going to do the work it will workfor you

I was taking the Shakeology drinks while breastfeeding and had to stop. They made my little guy EXTREMELY gassy. Once I stopped the drinks he went back to his happy little self.

Shakeology is supposed to be used as a meal replacement, which concerns me when nursing. According to the Beach Body site and most websites, it says pregnant and nursing mothers should only consume Shakeology under the direction of a physician.

For me, personally, I'm wary of consuming anything highly processed, especially when nursing. I'm more on the toss a bunch of fruit and veggies into my Vitamix and drink that instead mentality. Plus while nursing you're supposed to avoid even protein shakes with whey so I would avoid Shakeology and anything else packaged to help you lose weight/gain energy while nursing. If all it has are essential vitamins then you should see the same results from your multivitamin, which leads me to believe that there's something else aiding in weight loss with these shakes. Just my take though.

As for the Piyo, that's like any workout program. I have several friends who are BB coaches, who are moms, and have lost a lot of weight using the BB videos. I say any exercise is good if it's something you enjoy doing so give it a shot if you'd like. I'm sure any of the workouts are scalable if needed

Sounds like I'll just have to get the DVDs for now.

Meal replacement? I don't even know what that means! Isn't that the point of working out so you can EAT!
I need my food!!!!

porterlove525 · July 2014

I'm with you @mrscrcalli‌! Why else would anyone workout

I do T25(ish) and Shakeology(ish). I also an BF. I'm not doing the program hardcore.

I eat like 12748 meals a day, so replacement for me would be no problem. I looked into it because I have a friend who is super into it (do they get kick backs??), but I don't really have the time to do it. I don't think I could make myself at 9 o'clock at night. I am trying to get DH to promise me an hour during the day to let me get out of the house and CrossFit, otherwise if I stay home I have dishes, laundry, dinner, cleaning, shower....... To do that I would probably do instead.

Yes, they get paid anytime a customers buys from them. I was a beachbody coach for awhile. Is shakeology worth the price? Hell to the no. The workout programs? Yes!!

I'm too lazy to read every comment right now, so sorry if this has been mentioned, but: shakeology is too expensive for NO reason other than it's a hype right now. Go to GNC and get one of their yummy meal replacement/nutrition shakes for half the price and the exact same ingredients. Mine is gnc brand and it's freaking delicious.

This.

I thought about trying PiYo- it looks like a good workout and the people I know doing it seem to like it. I don't do Shakeology though- I tried it once and thought it was chalky. I do drink the Advocare shakes though (and I nurse) and have been doing their CU24 workout as well as the FitnessBlender workouts on Youtube. I'm not concerned at all about drinking a meal replacement shaked while nursing though because it packs in enough calories and GOOD nutrients.

How do you like T25? My SIL sent it to me to try it out, but I haven't been brave enough yet.

@fourthnlast‌ I'm doing T25 as well and I love it!! It's so hard but so strangely fun and motivating. I haven't stopped being sore in 3 weeks.

That's the sign of a great workout! Thanks
