Hi MFP friends,
I'm starting a 6 week challenge.
Do you want to join me and re-do your Slim in 6 program (or any other program you have but you’ve never completed).
I’ve done Slim in 6 before and have gotten good results but I’ve never finished the full 6 weeks.
This time I'm going to finish it and I thought it would be fun to try to start a group to get some support.
Feel free to modify your programs as needed. I’ve done Slim in 6 several times before but I’ve never finished the full 6 weeks. I’ve never been able to do the 6 workouts a week so I’m setting my goal for 5 a week instead. I’m also adding alternating legs weights and arms weight to my workout to up the intensity. Do what you need to do, you can make it easier or more challenging the important thing is that you set a realistic goal and follow through for 6 weeks. I'm committing to to the 6 weeks plus I'll do 3 weeks follow up for those who start later.
To join the challenge you need to make a commitment to log in at least weekly to weigh in and log your workouts.
Here’s how to get started, you can join in any time.

I'm going to give it a try! I'm not up for doing it 6 days a week as I'm committed to 3 days of the couch to 5 k, but I will do a minimum of 3, maybe 4. I'm excited to give this a try. I'm normally a interval training/body weight kind of a girl, but I'm getting a little bored with sets of pushups, squats, and deadlifts. I think I want a dvd to motivate me. This isn'ta redo for me, but a first time. Let's see how it goes!
I'm also doing a July 4th challenge, so this is a *perfect* fit.

I was watching an informercial this week from the creator of p90x talking about the theory behind his program, and what he said makes total sense. Muscle memory vs. muscle confusion. Basically, we do the same exercises over and over and our body gets comfortable. (muscle memory) So, what happens is in the beginning we lose a bunch of weight and then hit the famous plateau. BUT, by keeping our muscles/body confused we keep losing weight. I tried that in the last week and it seems to have worked! So nothing magical, I just worked out differently than I have been. I noticed days where my muscles were sore, even though I'm pretty consistent in the gym.
Good luck ladies, keep up the hard work!0 -
Update after week 1, I made my goal, which was to do a minimum of 3. This is my first time doing slim in 6, and I'm not sure its for me. I'm going to at least give it one more week to see if I can get into it
In non slim-in-6 news, I finished the 3rd week of my couch to 5k odyssey yesterday! This week, I'm onto week 4. I also slipped in a day of intervals last week, and it was a lot of fun. I may slip in a couple days of intervals this day too. I miss intervals. My primary motivation for the c25k training is to get fit enough so that I can interval train harder. No weight loss this week, but that's okay. I'm doing everything I'm suppose to be doing, so its all good.

Hi All,
jenrogerspm - congrats what a great week 1.
tatiana 13- Congrat on you 5k challenge progress. Impressive. Hang in the there with the Slim in 6
Ramp it up is more fun than Burn it up. If it's just not for you, you can still stay in the challenge just pick any workout and set a weekly goal.
Look forward to seeing the rest of the crew as you weigh in.
As for me.
Worst workout week EVER for workouts the week before I got in 5 workouts but last week I only did 1. I'm kinda embarrassed after I started the challenge and all. Too be fair I've worked 8 days in a row and still need to work 4 more before I get a day off. I'm tired but I can still get in a couple light workouts and I get a 3 day week-end next week.
The good news is I finally dropped some weight. I haven't been able to break 204 for over a month.

UGH....I mean seriously and officially...UGHH...This was not a good long weekend for me! Sooo....last week I go my 3 yoga sessions in and planned on doing Si6 on my off days...hmmm...let's just say that I think I was over shooting my physical ability!!
I was plugging along all like " This is easier than I remember" and "Man I'm much more fit than I was the first time around" and "Whew I'm breaking a sweat here and it's only 25 minutes long, yay!".....ERRRRRR......I was SOOOO sore for the next two days I couldn't do anything, I mean seriously I was hurting just sitting on the toilet! And there were these bridges and leg lifts I was attempting to do in Yoga that were NOT getting done..uh uh no way! So the lesson I learned was try my hardest and do my best, but don't fool myself thinking I'm an athlete yet because I AM NOT!!! LOL!!! On top of that I did not eat very well this long holiday weekend...mostly carbs which I don't normally indulge in but apparently wanted some (alot).... bread, potatoes, and noodles! So it's back to my normal eating this week and I've got to step up the Si6 as there may be no Yoga this week due to the short week and the co-worker/instructor taking a couple more days off (who does she think she is?!?!?!) Wish me good fortune!

Hmmm. Well, it wasn't a good week. I didn't do any slim in 6. I have to admit that everytime I thought of doing that dvd, I had a little feeling of dread. I ended up doing two days of intervals instead of two days of weight training. Which tells me that its not so much the will, but the workout. So...I'm going to throw in the slim in 6 towel. But, as you recommended that I can continue the challenge with another activity, that's what I'm going to do.
Starting with week 3, here are my goals:
Regular cardio: 3 days C25k run
Intervals: 1-2 days of running intervals
Weights: 2 days of interval weight training. I'm going to do workouts from bodyrock.tv (free, online!)

Hey There,
For those who started on Monday.
It's weigh in day!!
truhvn- hang in there I hope this week was better for you.
tatiana 13- so glad that your continuing the challenge even if your dumping slim in 6. I just do the cardio sections and repeat until I have 45-60 min. I find the floor work boring .
Hoping to see the rest of the crew log in this week.
I had a great week.
Was not focussing on SI6 I just wanted to hit my work # goal . I got in 5 solid workouts.
Including:
1 hr Salsa Class
Free style hip hop 45 min
Bike on the sea wall 45 min X2
SI6 x 2
I've weighed in a couple times this week to see if I was maintaining last weeks weigh tloss and things were holding. I was so pleased because I had not any weight in 5 weeks.

I had a great week of workouts, however I gained a 1/2 pound!!! Still I'm going to keep at it, and hope next week I see some results! I have a HUGE sugar addiction, I love the stuff, lol. I'm going to pay extra special attention to my diet this week and see if that nets some results.
Hope y'all had a better week than me, keep up the hard work! 0
