    Hello team...I need some advice. I went to Beachbody.com and found Slim in 6 and Turbo Jam for the same price. Anybody tried both and have a preference? Thanks.

    Hi friends,

    Our kiddos got to head outside today. Thank you Lord. It was best for all of us if we could get some fresh air and it really has been a lovely weekend.

    Was not looking forward to the scale this morning. Had an awful day with food yesterday. I knew it wouldn't be good, but now I know what I need to do this week before Wednesday morning. TOM is here with a vengeance and I'd really like to just curl up into the fetal position and pass out until next week.

    Gotta post and run. Wish I could respond to everyone, but not in the cards tonight - so it's a very broad H-E-L-L-O!

    I had such a busy weekend, I really have to get back on track. I'm not totally off, yet not totally on either. I'm riding somewhere in between. I have to admit, it's been nice to not think about any of it but I know the scale will not be good if I continue to not think about it for too long. Time to get back on I suppose.

    Kinda like my weekend-- did very well yesterday until Applebees-- did rather well today, in spite of my lunch out-- but, still not "on" and I wanted to run today, but had to of course pay my family penance for daring to have an afternoon out-- sheesh-- I come home to hell-- so, running didn't happen.

    Actually-- I was just thinking I need to do a "mind over matter," kinda thing here and play a trick on me-- I've been so nutty about losing "my last 10 pounds," instead of just imagining I'm a person who "only has 10 pounds to lose."

    Rather proud of my 40 pounds ticker lost, I've been reluctant to change it-- but, I think I'm gonna-- take a different mind approach and see what happens.

    Yeah, I know-- women are nutty this way. Why should it matter what my mind thinks I'm doing? I don't know-- but, if it works, it's all good.

    Yeah, I'm blathering-- wanta make somethin' of it?

    Heading to bed-- zzzzzzzzzz-- nytol.

    As you wander off to bed, my little ones were getting me up!! We have snow (not predicted) and the 2 youngest have spent 30 minutes running round screaming 'it's a snow day' - I hope not :mad: :mad:

    Weighed myself this am - 165.8. The lbs are slowly leaving, but so nice to see :smile:

    Well just a quicky before I have to get the boys sorted and gagged, heheheh have a good day and I'll be back later xx

    Yeah, I haven't been on the scale since last Wednesday or Thursday. Me. The scale addict. My nonchalant attitude showed when I stepped on this morning. I was expecting to be around my last weigh in weight, 153ish.... instead 155ish. :noway: I gasped. Out loud. That's what not paying attention gets you.

    I think I like your idea. I'm not a person who lost 50 (at one point, don't look at the ticker right now) and still needs to lose 10 more, the last dreaded 10 that refuse to leave. I'm a person who is within normal weight range who could lose 10 more if I so desire. Hmmmm, just maybe it would work. I'm with you though, it's hard to take away my ticker showing my progress.

    No gym today. Sick one. Headed to the doctor, had to cancel my dentist appointment. Life with kids. Fun.

    Hi Tanya,

    Just my opinion, and I'm sure there will be others. I have the Shred video, but I don't use it as the 30-day program (which I think has you do every day). I use it as an alternative to other exercises. This probably explains why I have never progressed off Level 1, but there you have it.

    See how you like it. It seemed really hard to me at first - I was really unfit - but got more tolerable as I did it more times. There is enough change up of exercises that doing it everyday wouldn't really be a problem, if you choose to go that route.

    Enjoy.

    All others - sorry I can't call out to all. Still trying to get all my work done from my trip. Need that winning lottery ticket - like now.

    Janie
