You’ll likely experience soreness the first few weeks on the program, and every time you increase your weights as well.

Just trust the program, and know the results will come. It can really throw them off track, so put away your scale.

It’s hard for many people when they step on the scale and don’t see the results they are expecting. At the beginning and end of your program is enough. You don’t need to take measurements or step on the scale every week. So make sure you’re tracking your measurements as well.

Your body is putting on muscle, so you’ll likely see inches lost before you see the scale go down.

However, it’s not uncommon for some people who start the program to stop seeing progress. “I just finished my 3rd round of 21 Day Fix and I’m 35 pounds lighter!!” I’ve already lost 6 pounds and 8 inches!” I have never felt so empowered and that real change is possible.” I’ve been able to sleep better at night, my mind is less foggy and more focused.” I have gone from 230 lbs to 215 in 6 weeks. “I can feel a big difference in my energy. “Lost 2 pounds last week and my energy has skyrocketed! I love the results when I get in all my containers.” “My scale finally went down after only one week on the program–I’m down 3 pounds! I’m a happy girl!” Here are some real comments from real people.
