Slim in 6 Sucker - UPDATE

[DVCTiff]

**UPDATE**
I got my tapes yesterday so the workout begins Monday! (We're leaving to go out of town tonight). Thanks for all the great responses. I'll let you know how it goes. Glad to hear Kimickey's having success. That Pilates woman scares me but now maybe I'll give her another chance. Have a good weekend everyone!

Original Post: This is what happens when I watch infomercials before I have any coffee. I hadn't even taken a step out of bed and I was hooked on this infomercial! And I bought the program! Has anyone tried it? I just joined a gym too but have only been once because I immediately got so sick I was in bed for a week. Wondering if anyone else has done this program. I'll report back once I get it. I'm kinda excited. At least I'll have something to do when I can't make it to the gym.

My biggest challenge will be to keep the dog out of my way while I work out ....

Is the slim in six put put by beach body? If it is then it is a well rounded program, my daughter ordered the beach body tapes and I did those until I got into the firm. I found with the beach body tapes the aerobic part was a little to intense for me but the weight lifting is great and the ab workout is very challenging. Good luck with your new tapes.

DVCTiff - I just ordered Slim in 6 today too....we'll have to let the other one know what they think.

If anyone else has done it, can you please post your thoughts or comments?

Thanks!

Yes, vfb, it is put out by beachbody.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, mishoe. They're definitely making their money today! We'll have to share what we think once we try them. Maybe we'll have a mini-challenge!

I've never even heard of this program. Is it a workout only?

Hey native! Since I'm such a big expert from watching the infomercial this morning (darn that thing was hypnotic) ...

The core of the program is 3 exercise programs - Start it up!, Ramp it up! and Burn it up! You do the first one for two weeks and then move on to the next and then the next. Each runs about 45 mins long. You do them 5 or 6 days a week. I will have to move dirty laundry off the floor to be able to do this.

For your money you also get an Express diet plan, which I will ignore since I'm happy with Atkins, and ab routine tape/DVD and a stretch tape/DVD. There's a guidebook, and Fast Start guide and a calendar - all which may be useful or not.

I personally needed a new "toy" to keep me motivated since my weight loss has been so slow (6.5 lbs in 7 weeks). I just can't eat any better than I have been so I needed to add something to the plan. I liked the girl who came up with this program and I believed the testimonials. I'll definitely let you know how it goes.

P.S. I also purchased the resistence rubber bands since I didn't have any. I guess I could have used my regular hand weights. See! I really shouldn't shop on line before breakfast! You can also check out www.beachbody.com and click on Slim in 6 on the left hand side.

A freelance director I work with did this program in preparation for her wedding last year - she got the tapes with 8 weeks to go. I believe lost about 20 lbs and 3 or 4 dress sizes and has kept it all off now for a year. Her husband (also works with me) did the program too, but he's put what he lost back on.

I hope you enjoy this program - report back how it works for you.

Oh my goodness, I was watching the infomercial this morning too! I didn't order it. I'll be interested to see how everyone likes the tapes. I'm not coordinated in the least. I tried a Richard Simmons tape once and fell over the coffee table, so I thought I'd wait until I heard from someone who had tried it.

I'll probably never make 45 minutes without having a heart attack.

I'm a Slim in Six Sucker too!! I've had it for a month and a half now and love it. I do the work out as well as Windsor Pilates (another informercial sucker) Both programs are excellent. But the Windsor Pilates are very addictive. All I have to say is RESULTS, RESULTS, RESULTS. I had a baby in December and reach an all time weight of 180 I usually weigh 135-140. I'm now down to 160. My muscle tone is the best I've ever seen.

I didn't order the tapes but I'm addicted to the infomerical too
