Yup, he was whining and cryin' for a few days about how sore his stomach was LOL!

I am blessed with a very small bone structure and absolutely ZERO hips and butt. I have the gut of a much larger person unfortunately and I've been very depressed this week that it isn't shrinking fast enough That is why I made myself start the videos again, I think in order to get my waist down (right now would you believe it is considered obese based on measurements!!) I need to exercise. Sigh. If only surgery were free and 100% safe lol.

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

no surgery for you my little skinny friend....WE ARE GONNA DO THIS TOGETHER WITH THE SQUAT ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, we can...i know we will..uh huh...OH YEAH!

[skinnymom!]

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

You ARE on a high today LOL!!!

I know, no surgery. Can't afford and I have this fear of dying and my poor kids knowing their mom isn't here because of something cosmetic I just hope my poor butt doesn't fully disappear before my belly does.....I have NO rear. I'd take a normal woman's body any day (big butt and thighs) over this apple body. Ah well, we deal with what we're given

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

i know,,,i always wondered why i couldn't take the tummy weight and make myself some boobies. (oops, can i say that here?) as least now that the tummy is smaller, the boobies look bigger!

and you are right about the surgery thing. i have a friend who did the bypass thing. actually it probably saved her life. but it was a huge decision. she was truly morbidly obese. i think the kids would miss us if we were not around.

and...we had a dear old lady friend who grew so skinny and frail and the end of her days and she insisted on buying and wearing these little panties with a built in butt..she missed having one so much...i always laughed at her and said "miss clemmie honey, i will gladly give you some of MINE!"

LOL see, I have more chest than I know what to do with. I'm 5'1 and even after losing 14 lbs, I am still a very full C - was a DD - yikes! I wish I could take my tummy and make myself a butt. It's really quite pitiful in my jeans

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

Ramp it up done! Man I was really sore today too! You know I never thought I'd be looking forward to the situp portion of ANY exercise routine, I have no trouble keeping up in that dept but those leg lifts are gonna KILL me. Which is so bizarre as I have very strong muscular legs, but a weak flabby stomach

I'll probably do RIU another couple of days, then do Burn, I'm still to scared to even WATCH it

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

Week 1 Complete!!! I did my workout at like 11pm tonight but I got it done! I am starting Ramp it up on Monday and going to try and do the additional abs section 3 days next week. Wish me luck!

[skinnymom!]

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

YAY Kristy! I am truly DYING today, my left hip is incredibly sore. I am going to try my hardest to do Warm it up plus the abs video today. I don't think I can do Ramp It Up today, my hip may break

eta did WIU and Limber - much easier than when I first started! Almost too easy, I was shocked!

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

Good Sunday morning!
Misplaced Southerner, I am so proud of you! You are doing so great! You are an inspiration.
Skinnymom, take care of that hip. Probably doing the stretches might make it better, but don't push it too hard.
I took off Saturday as a rest day. I have this weird thing every now and then called uveitis or iritis, eye doctors call it both names. Anyway, it is a pain in the eye and can get problematic. I thought resting would be better than doing anything to cause it to be worse. I put in my steroid eye drops all day, so maybe it'll start to get better. We'll try ramp it up again today and see how it goes, I may not be able to do anything with my head hanging down, but we'll try. Everybody have a great day, and we'll see you Monday.

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

hi everyone!!! i am here!!!! i did not flake out but i have just been swamped. i am hanging in there with the burn it up. it is totally kickin' my butt. but i am stubborn. last night while i was working out my 19 year old son and his friend came in. they are BOTH great athletes. i told them to exercise with me...ha ha ha!!! sure mom looks easy enough. they were both on the floor doing the on the hands and knees with the leg going backward thing...and crying like a bunch of babies!!! it was so funny and i was laughing so hard i could hardly do my workout.

so there!!! we are doing GREAT!

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

Hi, everybody!
I'm so glad you can outdo those teenage boys, they can use being taken down a peg or two! You're doing great!
I did ramp it up Sunday and Monday. I tried this morning, but just felt awful, so I didn't. I promise I'll do it this afternoon. I'm going to do the whole two weeks of ramp it up. I did so much better Sunday and Monday, but there are several things I can do better before I'm ready to move it up. So, next Monday, look out. I'll be burning it up so hot, the fire department may have to come! (Or at least the paramedics, lol)
Have a great day, and let's stick with it!

Hi ladies...

Ive just ordered slim in 6 so i may be joining this challenge a bit late... just a couple of questions for you first tho... how high impact is it? I have arthritis and need to make sure this wont be too high impact on my knees and hips.

[misplaced southerner]

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

hi emma! better late than never! i do not think it is high inpact at all. there is a lot of movement....squats, lunges, resistance band work and funky things i have never done but i would not say it is high impact. all thru all 3 videos she offers ways to adapt each part of the exercise if what she is doing is too hard at the time. your muscles will hurt for sure but i bet your joints will be fine.

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

Emma, glad to have you!
I don't think it's really high impact, either. I have a weak ankle and my left knee sometimes bothers me, but I've been able to do it fine. In fact, my knee is starting to feel stronger. I think it helps build up some of the muscles that support my knee to make it work better. Good luck, and join in!
