I have been trying to lose this same weight forever.

Good morning! I am also planning to start SI6 on Monday and I saw your string started!! It will be nice to start with someone else. All the other SI6 strings seem really established.

Ladies,

I am delighted to have company. Tell me, how much are you looking to lose? I'd love to lose 40 lbs. and I didn't want to do this program by myself. It's better to have support and accountability. I have also resumed Weight Watchers. Can you please give me some background on yourselves? Goals for wt. loss, etc.? Thanks much, Taffi

I'm just on Day 2 of RIU...just finished it. I'd love to join in too. I'm on a few boards and most of the people here are AWESOME and full of encouraging words and motivation.

I'm 33
2 kids-son 14 daughter 6
hubby...he's a BIG boy too
I've been doing my own workouts all Jan 09. Now it's time to kick it up a couple notches. I bought SI6 in 2007 but only got 3 1/2 weeks thru it.
I'm looking to lose 30-40 lbs at least. I'm 5'1" and 177lbs! It doesn't look so great on my little frame.
Keep up the good work!!
Michelle

I started SI6 this time last week. Sun Feb 1st-S,M,T,Th then started RIU Fri. I was working out all Jan with 1 day per week off or light cardio. So SIU was fairly easy.
I am not following an eating plan right now. I am do the dvd's and watching what I eat, but not strictly. I know I should, but I'm NOT a calorie counter.
I did RIU this am and it's still kicking my BUTTOCKS (and abs).
We took our DD to the pool so I also did 30 mins of laps and now am pooped!

Chest 40" Calf 17"
Hips 40.5" Bicep 15"
Waist 36" BMI=33.42 (ugh)
Thigh 27.5"

Chow for now!

Hey Taffi, I just read that you are doing Weight Watchers. I have done it on and off over the years. I always saw results but never stuck to it for some reason. I think I might give it another go while I do Slim in 6. I know beachbody advocates doing high protein diets--I just can't do it!

So glad you're joining us, Angela. As a reminder, today, Sunday 2/8, please everyone try to post weight, measurements, and if possible, pictures. I think all of us feel reticient about posting this information, but look at it this way, if we were in great shape, we wouldn't necessarily need to be quite this meticulous in our recordkeeping/accountability. I'm not looking forward to finding out my exact measurements because it shows the degree to which I've allowed my habits to get out of control (and also says something about my degree of denial). Monday is a new day. Let's support each other in our quests for a thinner, shapelier, healthier self. If I can be of any help to anyone, please let me know. Talk to you soon. Taffi

Can I just say that I am super excited about finding this thread. I have been trying to find a good time to start Slim in 6 again and I think that now is the perfect time. Plus I had lent them out to a friend and was waiting for her to return them . It is always fun to share the gift of fitness!! Well here is a little about me. My name is Tracy and I am a 32 year old mother of 4 beautiful children 2boys ages 11 and 4 and 2 girls ages 9 and 2. I work full time and my exercise habbit has become non existent. Last year I was doing great and had lost 27 pounds in about 5 months. I started with slim in 6 and then started doing Turbo Jam regularly. I was pretty good until we decided to buy a house and between the stress of wondering if we could afford it, wondering if we would really get it and finally all of the moving and madness I started eating like a pig. In case you haven't guessed I am a big time emotional eater . So I have now gained back 20 pounds of the 27 that I lost. I am looking to lose the 20 pounds that I lost last summer plus a little more. I am more worried about size than total pounds lost. I would like to be a size 6 and I know with the help from you ladies and a little will power I can do it. Here are my starting stats:

weight - 176
size - 10 /12 (depends on the brand)
chest - 43"
waist (smallest point) - 35.75"
lower stomach (mom pooch) - 40.75"
hips - 43.25"
left thigh - 24.25
right thight - 24.25
left arm - 13"
right arm - 13"

Not the greatest, but it could be worse. Here is another little bit of motivation for you ladies the last time I started Slim in 6 I was 183 pounds and within a week and a half I had lost 1.5" in my waist and could fit in to a pair of jeans that I had outgrown for quite a while . I know that we can do this. If you fallow the program it will work. I am going to be taking pictures tonight. That is the one mistake that I made last time I didn't take day 1 photos. I wish I had maybe I wouldn't have let myself gain most of this weight back.

Oh, yeah since I am still in pretty good shape I am going to skip the start it up days and do 2 full weeks of Ramp it Up followed by 4 weeks of Burn it Up. I wish you ladies all the luck in the world and tomorrow we change our lives for the better!!! Let's do this! We are way stronger than any of us realize. Don't ever give up we are worth it.

Love and Blessings to all,
Tracy
