I am starting slim in 6 again and I am looking for someone to buddy with or just a little motivation. I find it so hard to stick to this program, It is a little boring but I know I can do it with support,. I did this program back in 2007 and lost 20 pounds. I only made it to week 4... I know I know I was so close. But once I hit that 20 pound mark I quit. and the repetition got to me. I want to see this program through this time. I owe it to myself. :flowerforyou:

    I don't think I was really ready to commit to regular exercise when I first tried the program, and I was very out of shape and overweight. I think I gave up about the same place you did (4 weeks or so). It is a little boring, and her voice makes me want to hurt someone, but it is a good workout. I do it now when I can't get outside and run or ride. I'd like to try to finish it once just to say I did. Maybe you can motivate me! :happy: Good luck with the program and with MFP!

    I have been doing Slim in 6 for a couple of weeks now, but not to the extent suggested. I do Ramp it up about 4 times a week, and occasionally the extra ab workout. I do my own stretching routines, really taking the time I need to stretch out the pain LOL

    Please feel free to add me!

    I tried slim in 6 myself, and I must admit was very bored. I think I did like a week or so then wasn't amped to wake up and press play.

    I'm currently doing Chalean Extreme and loving it! Feel free to add me :)

    I will be starting in January (or possibly 12/31 since it's a Monday). After that I'll do Brazil Butt Lift. I'd love friends that are doing the same program :-) I'd like to see your posts about your Slim in 6 progress :-)

    I'm actually starting a 30 day challenge in January for accountability if anyone is interested. I personally will be doing Slim in 6 as my daily workout program. If you're interested send me a message :-)

    Hi, I have slim n 6 too and cant stick with it either. I did the whole thing back in 2000 to rehab myself. Worked fantastic!! I was thinking about doing it again before I start Les Mills Combat. You can add me, anyone can. Motivation is how we all get there

    I did it a few months ago & I think I quit too right around the 4th week. I did lose 9lbs that month & have managed to keep it off. I was eating 1500-1700 calories/day as well.
    I too, would really like to do it from start to finish. I am planning on starting back up tomorrow but I only workout 3-4 times/week.
    I try to workout every other day. I have 4 dogs & a 2 yr old so I get a workout everyday just with that....lol
    It is a great workout! A little boring yes, but it gets the job done, & that to me, is what counts. Please feel free to add me, I'd love to have some workout buddies to help with support/motivation! :)

    Hi everyone! I am starting Slim in 6 on 12/31 (being a Monday) and would love to join in a group for motivation and encouragement! I did the program several years ago too and excited to do a repeat of it to start out the new year! Would love workout buddies :-)

    I am planning (finally) to start Slim in 6 next week.

    As a pretty unfit 52 year old, I am planning to stick with stage one until I can do it with the resistance band, then move one to the next level and do the same.

    If there is a group on here I'd be happy to join :)

    I just started a new topic for anyone who would like to join me in motivation and encouragement for each other on their "Slim in 6" program--it's "Daily "I did it' for Slim in 6"...

    Hi all:

    I did Slim in 6 several years ago, and it worked great! I just decided to do it this morning and remembered why I like it so much! I'm trying to find exercise options that I can work into my schedule. I work from home full-time as well as taking care of my almost three-year-old son, so this seems like a good option! I started my journey in September, wanting to lose 75 lb. I lost 21 using my fitness pal until the holidays derailed me a bit and I have regained 6 lb. I'm ready to get back in the right direction!

    Hi All! I would also like some buddies for the Slim in 6 workout also - feel free to add me. Today will be my 3rd day on the Ramp it Up dvd. Those butt exercises are really kicking my butt! I have lost weight with the series so far so I'm going to push through and hopefully slim down! I need some motivation and support to make it through the rest of the workout. Would love to hear from other people using this routine also!

    Hi All!!

    I'm also looking for some buddies for the Slim in 6 workout. Today is my day 6 of Start It Up dvd. The first few days soreness was terrible, but now I feel great. I've lost 2 pounds since I began the program and also my clothes fit much better.
    I've heard it can get boring (doing the same dvd day after day surely is definitely boring) and I need some motivation and support to make it through the rest of the workout.
