I will be starting SI6 on Monday and need buddies to join. I have attempted to do this 6 week program about 4 times and havent gotten past the 3rd week and this time I want to actually finish it!

I find it a lot easier to reach your goals when you have others helping you along the way! Come join me in getting in shape for summer!!!

    I am with you, I decided to start this program again on Monday too....I have attempted to finish it in the past but always seem to bore with the same workout routine. I promise to make you keep going if you can do the same for me. I want this to be the program to help me jump start again and get a good start right before summer. Good luck and check back in with you Monday!!

    Now I am ready for monday!! I will push you as long as you push me back. Everyday after our workout I would like us to come back here and post how we did and feel.

    SI6 is a beachbody program that is squats, lunges, toning and abs. Look it up. People have actually lost 30lbs in 6 weeks.

    Also I will be doing my measurements and pictures on sunday night!!

    Just popping in to wish you all much success with SI6! It's a great program (as all Beachbody programs are :wink: ) and I've since moved on to her advanced SI6 called 'Slim Series' which I highly recommend, too. It has quite a bit more variety in it with 6 dvds. Helps keep away that boredom. :tongue:

    Anyway, I'll try to check in and see how you are all doing! Much success! :flowerforyou:

    I started a round of Slim in 6 on Monday with Start it Up. Is it too late for me to join the group? Maybe it won't seem so monotonous to me if I know there are others going through the same thing. I loaded all the workouts on to my video/mp3 player so I don't even have to be in front of a tv/dvd player to work out:bigsmile:

    The Start it Up workout isn't that bad as far as difficulty goes. If you are used to other forms of exercise it will be easy- but be prepared for lots of squats and for your legs to be sore the next day.

    Usually when I start SI6 and after the first day of all the squats and lunges it hurts to sit down for the rest of the week lol I will have to really push myself to keep going!

    Sign me up as well, if you don't mind! I am ashamed to admit that I've had the discs for well over a year, and have tried it on two occasions, but haven't been able to stick with it - but a lot of that is due to my overwhelming schedule at work, home, volunteering, etc. I would Really love to find a group for the support & motivation!!

    Sweettart - I lost only about 10 pounds - but a heck of a lot of inches (I didn't measure). It was amazing - all of the sudden I had an actual waist AND my saddlebags (those ugly outer thigh fat gobs :ohwell: ) were flat! :happy: A pair of too small jeans I bought to inspire myself LAST Christmas slipped right on before the 6 weeks were over. :drinker: So, I really wasn't disappointed in the actual 10 pound loss - there were just so many other fantastic changes. I did get REALLY bored though, so I didn't follow the program to the letter; there was just no way I was going to do the same Burn it Up dvd for 6 days a week for 4 weeks straight. :yawn: So I would go to the gym some days during the week for Zumba or Turbo Kick, etc instead of SI6. But at least I did exercise all 6 days.

    I am really loving her follow-up program after SI6 (called Slim Series); 6 dvds that are all really challenging but fun & nice variety!

    Be sure to pop in Slim & Limber anytime for that muscle soreness - it really helps!

    Scoobees: That is awesome! I bet you felt amazing after. What routine did you do? I thought it was start it up for 1 week, then ramp it up for 2 and then burn it up for 3 weeks? I could be wrong and Im sure everyone does it different.

    The one thing I would LOVE to gain after these 6 weeks is a BUTT!!! I have a flat butt and would really love to actually gain one lol

    Did you follow the diet plan or just MFP? I dont have the diet plan :(

    Sweettart - Thanks! :flowerforyou: In my SI6 book, it says to do Start it Up only long enough to comfortably learn the moves and suggests moving on in a couple days so that's what I did. I was doing Ramp it Up on day 3. I know lots of people stick with Start it Up for longer though, but I'm not a new exerciser so it was time to fly. :tongue: Then once I got comfy with Ramp it Up, I added Cardio Core Express after it. I love that workout! Never tried Thin Thighs Guaranteed though. :ohwell:

    I don't have a flat butt, BUT it's definitely getting smaller & firmer! :laugh:

    I didn't follow the diet plan - but I generally eat a healthy Body-For-Life (Bill Phillips) type diet. Lean protein & good carb every meal, a healthy fat thrown in there, etc. But there are those days when chocolate wins...:noway:

    Another Slim In 6/Slim Series fan here. I lost 6 pounds in the 6-week program (started August 10), but I've been doing it and Slim Series since and lost another 20 pounds and counting. It's been amazing for me. I weigh less now than I have in 25 years. I'll be turning 50 later this year, and I am here to tell you that age doesn't have to slow you down. :bigsmile:
