hi cheri!!! well of course you can jump aboard!!! the arms were really hard for me too. don't worry, it will get easier. remember, it is better to take the time and get used to it all, makes moving up easier. work at your own pace....it is not a contest. you will get really good results with just the first dvd. i never did the slim and limber part but i did the abs workout a lot..it is good. be sure to measure yourself today....i lost about 18 inches all over just during the slim in 6 workout time!!! i started losing pounds again after i upped my cardio too but you will see amazing inch loss. and you will get stronger every day. so glad you are along for the ride....keep us posted!

Cheri, so glad you made it over! I stayed with start it up for a week. It helps to get the moves down before you start going faster. I think the slim and limber helps a lot. I'm older than you and get a little stiff at times. Also, I hadn't done much exercise before this and it kept me from getting very sore. Slim n 6 has really helped me, I hope it does wonders for you, too! Don't worry too much if you don't lose much or any weight for the first few weeks, it really adds a lot of muscle. When I started Burn it up, I lost 8 pounds in about a week! I am really happy to see muscles and be more firm instead of jiggling all over.

Good luck!

Congratulations for making goal, MS! I still like to imagine you going down the aisle doing some of those kicks, but that's probably just my warped sense of humor. A week to go til the big day, and you're READY!

I'm still doing Burn it up--I just have 2 days to finish! I'm going to switch to something else, just not real sure what yet. I'll do Slim in 6 again, I just want a break for a while.

Keep it up, everybody!

Hey, guys! Couldn't do SI6 today. I hurt my bag lifting a very big bag of cat food in the store. Think it's just a pulled muscle, cause it's in a weird place - in the middle of my back. At least, I hope that's all it is! Instead, I did the 1 mile WATP. Will see how it feels in the am and hopefully get back to SIU tomorrow!

CONGRATULATIONS MS!!!!! I left you a post in the congratulations thread, too...

I hope the back's better Cheri. I've had some luck using my barbells to apply pressure to relieve pain in my back. Probably not on their usage suggestions, but I just lay down on it until I feel it ease up.

It is better to recover than keep reinjuring it.

Today is my last day (for a while) on SLIM IN SIX! I'll post measurement results Sunday to inspire you girls who just started. I would post pictures, but I'm not totally technologically adept. If my bro-in-law helps me, maybe I'll try.

I went shopping at the resale store yesterday and got size 14 & 16 clothes! I started out with tight size 20's, so this is great. I tried on a dress today, and it was a size 12--I got it on, but it was really tight--but--I GOT IT ON! Slim & Six and Atkins rocks!

It's hard to get started, that's why I'm so glad I have this board to report to.

Yes, I have officially lost another 3 pounds! I'd lost it last week, but I don't put it down until my official weigh day-every other Saturday.

Good luck on it, you'll be glad you did in six weeks!

I am still not sure if I am crazy or just glutton for punishment after reading all of your post about the squat **** aka pixie of pain.

I am eagerly awaiting my DVD's. Are they worth the $70.00 bucks I am paying for them?

Glad to have you aboard, Jessi!

I finished my 6 weeks of slim in six yesterday. My results are as follows:
Starting Weight 174 Yesterday 161 13 pounds
Chest 38 1/4 36 2 1/4 in
Breast 43 1/2 42 1/2 1 inch
Waist 42 39 1/2 2 1/2 in
Hips 48 45 1/2 2 1/2 in
Mid Thighs 18 1/2 X 2 17 1/2X2= 2 inc
R upper arm 13 1/4 12 1/2 3/4 in
L upper arm 14 1/2 13 1 1/2 in

So, 13 pounds and 11 1/2 inches in 6 weeks. I think it was worth it. I hope you do.

I plan on doing it again, I just want a break from Debbie for a while. I hope ya'll all have great results and I'll be checking in on you!

Good luck!

Jessi - after about 4 workouts or 1 1/2 weeks you should see a difference. For me, that was worth the $70.

Re: SLIM IN 6: Help Me Look Hot in My Wedding Dress Challenge!

Reading this thread has really inspired me - I haven't exercised AT ALL since July!

So I'm shelling out the $75 for the DVDs and I hope to get the kind of results you all have been working for.

I guess I have a few days wait of shipping/handling to get myself psyched up the challenge ...
