Look at that, we share the same name!
I have to say I am already impressed with the Slim in 6. 3 more days and I am finished with the start it up. I have to admit, I love once we get to drinking the water...then I know I am more than half way done.

Hi CaminoKris :-)
I am finding Ramp it up just right for me for a "challenge' - today will be my 3rd day of doing it. I just finished JM 30dayshred so that seemed to prep me to be able to be a little stronger, etc. I will probably stay on RIU until the last 2 weeks, then do the BIU...My biggest challenge is going from 30 mins to the 45 mins! :-) once I get to the leg exercises (hard!!) then I know I am almost done though- so that in itself keeps me going! just to be done with it for the day-LOL-I am the type if I don't force myself to do it and skip a couple days then I will just "quit". This time I want to complete the entire 6 weeks! Good luck to you, too!

Started my 2nd week of the Start it Up!. Didn't see any weight change, but can see that I am already toning. What is even more impressive is that my mom could see the difference in my arms in only 1 week! As many know, moms can be your toughest critic!

Hi Regnur - I own the Slim Series program and did a rotation a long time ago after I finished SI6. It's awesome! One big plus over SI6 is the huge variety - you are not doing the same workout daily! There are a total of 6 dvds; 1 being a stretch/recovery workout. They range in time from approx 60 min up to 78 minutes. However, the 2 longer ones are actually my favorites lol! They REALLY kick butt!! Another nice thing is the use of dumbbells; some of the workouts use the bands, some the dumbbells - and some both. And Debbie is much more fun & joking in these, too.

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head...I don't know anything about the express workouts though.

I am going to start back today. Will start at the beginning for a few days, see how that goes :)

I have to say, when I was doing it regularly, I think it really was helping me and moving things along faster than it goes without it. I know it is 80% nutrition, and I have a good handle on that now. Back before when I was exercising alot, I didnt have a handle on my hunger, and I just seemed hungrier all the time.

So now that my hunger is under control, I think if I add this back in, I will see more of the results that I want.

Wait till you get to the floor work for Ramp it Up! It does get easier, though.

Completed my first day of the Start Up...wow! Not as much while I was doing the exercise, but after (like now), I can feel the effects. Hoping that it'll get easier as I go thru it. Of course, I will be starting the next one after this, which will start the whole cycle all over again...LOL!

Count me in! Received my Sin6 today (what timing!). I had been walking every morning, and while I have seen some changes, I am hoping this will ramp me up.

Count me in, too. I think a new daily thread would be fun! I will be doing other types of workouts too but it would be great for accountability!! I really do miss SI6 and the SS workouts; never looked & felt better than when I did those!!!!

I have owned slim in 6 in the past, but I think I sold it. Then I saw the informercials and I am a sucker for those. So I ordered it again. This seems to be a newer version, the outfits are updated. Anyway, I finally got it today. I have been so excited to start it. I did workout 1 today, start it up. I feel great! because I got off the couch/chair and did something. I have logged onto the beachbody site and scheduled a month's worth of workouts, hopefully that will keep me on track better. I knew I couldn't wait til Jan 1, afraid I'd fail like other years of resolutions.

Count me in! I'm hoping to start after I return from my Christmas trip, which would only be a couple of days before the new year. I will also mix in other programs, but it would be great to start this -- again -- with a group.

Hi Lauren and Leneisha! Yes, lets get a Daily 'I did it" or "What I did today" type thread going January 1st so we can post our workouts there; and the ones who are doing the sin6 can keep each other going! :-)
Have a Merry Christmas!

I am excited to do this series again (last time a couple years ago) and think it would be great to have a "daily thread" type of thing to keep each other motivated :-)
