Isn't TJ wonderful?? I love that series. Hmm, maybe that could be our next challenge, lol?

Great for you that you've already lost 2.5 inches from your waist in 2 weeks. That is awesome!

Hey girls!

Yoly - Hope all goes well with your mom. Surgery takes a while - so at least slip in a walk at the hospital if you can to get in some exercise and clear your head.

Rikki - Congrats! I haven't lost a pound since starting these 3 weeks ago but I have noticed some of my 18's going from snug to a fit - hang in there! I'm hoping to get whooshies by the end of this month or at least in December - it's MY TURN BABY!!!!!

Regarding Debbie Siebers - I mute her and crank up my favorite station when I get used to what she's doing. Compared to other videos I've tried - she's not so annoying and at least she's not skinny as a rail *puke*.

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

I love TJ too! It makes me sweat more but Si6 hurts more! LOL
Today I turned just her voice on low and cranked up smoe White Zombie! The music made me just mad enough to take it out on her skinny butt with exercise!

Rikki- SEVEN inches? Holy cow!!! Woohoo!!!!! RIU AND TJ20? Holy cow!

Way to go Shelly!!

<Doing my best Karnack impression for iwillbe>

:::::The envelope says ....today or tomorrow the mailman will arrive. I just *know* it!:::::

Hang in there, iwillbe! You'll be among the ranks in no time flat!!

Floyd- It's not just you! This program tightens me up so fast, and I feel it even faster than I see it. I guess that's a good thing cuz it keeps me so motivated, but you just KNOW it's coming and it feels so good!

Hmmm, a TJ challenge? That definitely has potential!!


slimndown- How'd today's workout go? I agree with you about Debbie too. She's not so bad- especially compared to some of the video instructors out there! And she looks healthy to boot.

Today's workout went really well. My HR moniter reports a solid 419 calories burned today. I felt good and I pushed really hard. I've stopped using resistance bands altogether for bicep curls. It's just so much eaiser for me to isolate the correct muscles using dumbbells for that particular exercise - and I'm using 8lb weights. Those last 4 reps with those 8lbers are a killer!

Anyone else hate her for not being able to count out the bicycle reps?! Uggggh!

I hope my upper body recovers a bit between now and 7pm. I've got a 90 minute belly dancing class tonight too! Oyy!

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

I hate how I felt completely tricked teh first couple of times I did the workout- when she says.. ok four more now hold it---------and let it down slow.............................................. ....ok- 8 more!!!! WHAT??!?!!!!??? lol... it isn't so bad now but sheesh, she is a tricky booger! I would much rather prefer the girl from TJ to talk and I feel like Debbis Seibers doesn't speak to change moves quick enough. I always know what is next on TJ but not on Si6

I agree, she is very tricky, your muscles are screaming, your counting down the reps, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and think you're getting relief, and then she says "now 8 more reps". She knows whats coming and is probably laughing an evil laugh to herself, I'll get 'em good.

I don't know why she irritates me, she seems nice, she has a soothing voice, and smiles a lot.

I know why! Cuz it HURTS. A LOT. And she's there, looking adorable, smiling, encouraging you, sneaking "8 more reps" in and knowing "it burns now, but that means it's working, so you wanna push it just a little bit", and while you can't help but like her, you still hate her and want to rip her adorable little face right off.


Errr, maybe that's just me.

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Just completed Ramp it Up, and feel refreshed this morning! I too can't stand the constant chatter of Debbie Seibers, but she is alot more pleasant and not as obnoxious as Tony on the Power 90 DVD. I guess we have to suffer abit while we get thinner, what a hard price to pay!

[loser4life]

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

hehe, yeah- I guess she is probably alright... even if she is laughing evil like behind her smile... anyone who can make me shrink is alright with me!!! LOL

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

I noticed that Rikki, she doesn't give newbies time to adjust for a new move, she just does it and hopes you keep up. Well in all seriousness I dont' think she gives a damn if you keep up or not, she sold the tape already. Uh uh, my cynical side is showing. I used to hate that at the beginning, it was so frustrating but now that I've done it more I'm kind of glad for it, I like that I don't have to waste a lot fo time between sets, I just move, move, move until I'm done and then I'm done. Great job on the TJ, I was feeling like I didn't get enough of a workout yesterday and was thinking about doing somethign extra besieds Ramp it UP but I didn't want to do too much and then be tired for today.

Floydgirl - we were doing Ramp it UP at the same time, I woke up this mornign at 4:45 so I could fit it into my crazy day, I didn't know anyone else was as crazy as I was. Nice to know there's someone else out there like me. I also feel skinny all day, especially on my waist and back. My measurements haven't changed any but I know, I just postively know I am shrinking around my waistline. If I put my arm behind me I can grab the other side of my waist with my hand, I don't think I've ever been able to do that before. I'm walking around school feeling like one big walking muscle, it's so cool!

iwillbe- don't worry you'll be in pain soon enough, enjoy your last day of going up and down stairs and sitting on the toilet without whimpering.

About the music, I actually like it. I don't know why, I feel like I'm in an 80s night club, it's either that or a porno, rofl!!!

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

hehe, thats what I think of... porn music.. I was doing Si6 the other morning while BF was sleeping and I just knew he was going to wake up and come out there thinking I was watchinga porn!!! LOL.... I am hungry, I think this working out makes me want to eat more! Sheesh, maybe I will have a veggie patty or something...

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

I read some of Brook's blog and it lead me to this thread. I won the auction at ebay yesterday and my si6 dvd's are being mailed out today. I am excited to get started and will probably post a little on this board with you all.

BTW, my name is Molly, I am 28, Happily Married gal trying to get into a size 8 pair of jeans. I dont think I've been that small since junior high. I'm a 14 now and was a tight 16 when I started Atkins in October.

OMG, Yoly, I have an exercise partner. How exciting is that??

Only problem is, you're in a different timezone than me.

But we are doing it at about the same time. My waist is exactly where I feel like I am shrinking. That is cool!

If I don't do my work-out first thing in the a.m., it is hard to get it done after work, because I am always so tired.

OT, but I can't believe how far you've come, Yoly. You are virtually shrinking before our eyes. Great work!

Welcome, Molly. Of course you can join in on us torturing ourselves. We would be happy to have you.

Your name is very special to me. But --- that is a totally different subject. I like you already because of your name!

You've already dropped a size and you just started last month! That is great! You're off to a wonderful start.

I just won a SI6 ebay auction on Sunday. I wonder if I was competing with you on one of the other auctions I was bidding on. LOL

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Porn music. LOL LOL Y'all are too funny!

Welcome aboard, Molly!
