hey idgy, great job! KPP! i never took a before pic, but I have a lot more to lose so the weight comes off quicker in the begining for me. But I will take some pictures and send to you this weekend.

I'm still doing BIU and alternating it between cardio on the eliptical, but I have definately kept trying to watch those calories, its key.

I found that I need to eat more during the day and less at night that works for me, you have to observe your body and progress to see what really works for you.

I wish you all the best, try wowy and join the slim and 6 newbies it really helps you stay focused and motivated for your workouts.

At some point it did seem like a long 7 weeks but as you get into the routine  you just do it and the time goes by, its better to count a week at a time, like think to yourself i just have to get through this week, and then keep saying that and before you know it, you've done 7 weeks!

Marissa :)

hey idgy,

Glad to hear that you are sticking with it and are not too sore.

My best advice for the bordem is to try and really focus on doing each move perfectly and then once that is down, try to do them with extra energy. Like almost cheesy energy, before you know it the video will be over and you will have burned more calories from the concerted effort.

KPP!

Marissa...

Oh and once you have the moves down, put on music you like in the background or on your ipod anything that makes you want to move. and you will!

Hey Gals!

Tanya! Thanks for the support! I actually stayed on RIU a week longer than meant to because I was having trouble getting through the entire leg routine, but honestly BIU isn't that bad, its just a lot of cardio at a faster speed. I mean I'm still sore from Monday lol but not as bad as I was say the first day i started SIU.

You basically have to just go at your own pace, be comfortable, because of the accelerated cardio in BIU, you'll see most of your results during that phase I think.  I amd not in a race to get to 6 weeks i plan to do this until I master it and then intergrate it with other cradio and other workouts, like I would love to get back into running by summer but we'll see. One day at a time.

I'm not on BB forums I think you have to join the club which i'm not sure i want to yet.

 KPP!

Manar _ hun I am so not the best when it comes to carb portions. I can't workout without a lot of carbs in my diet I basically pass out, but I would think that with all the cardio you are doing that as long as you decrease your portion in take to a standard serving at each sitting you should be fine, and go with whole wheat or multi grain or brown rice of course. kimberly would be the one to ask, so... Kim? any thoughts?

Best,

Marissa

Kimberly!

 What a great workout yesterday! My legs were burning!. lol Thanks for meeting me!So I emailed beachbody and requested you as a coach, lets see what happens. I'll think more about joining the club when you've become my coach, I just get evry weary of those subcription things.

 Stay motivivated everyone! ugh now I have to go to work :(

Hey Kimberly,

I agree sunday the later the better, I'm thinking maybe around 3? that would be around 1pm your time no?

I'll send you an invite on wowy!

Hey Tanya,

Trust we all know the feeling of not being motivated to start, but can you see yourself in some fabulous outfit or swimsuit this summer? I can and thats what makes me push play everyday, honestly its not so bad once you get past day 2.

You should def take a lookat wowy.com Kimberly and I are there (Kimberly125 and MsMariss) I'm on the east coast she is on the west, but what's great is that we can pick a time to meet up online and press play at the same time as we workout on opposite ends of the country! It's like having a gym buddy. and that keeps you honest and on tract.

So give it a whirl, go at your own pace, its not a race here, I even just extended the 6 weeks to 7 so I can perfect the moves. So we're here for ya!

get inspired by the idea of seeing the best you in the mirror! :)

Talk soon girls,

Marissa

Hey!!! Welcome Brightest yea the floor work is ridiculous I'm a tall girl at 6'0" so lifting your leg like that for so long is crazy! Anyway arms up is always exhausting because its like the quickest way to boost your heart rate, so that in combination with the knee ups is always going to leave you feeling warm " are you feeling warm yet?" lol Debbie I have to say is really great you can totally see her being your personal trainer!

yea you should come to wowy! I love it, and yes the best thing about exersice is that its addictive. I woke up at 5am to workout today and I think I'm going to either do another session  tonight or the slim and 6 pack till tommorow.

Hope you stay addicted!

Marissa

Hey Gals!

OMG I can't believe I'm in week 3 already, time goes by fast.  I'm totally in love with this program, its excellent right to the point. everymove counts and who doesn't appreciate that!

Wowy is a great motivator, even if you don't schedule your workouts in advance, just logging in a watching your days add up and seeing all the other people work out with you is great, it keeps you honest.  Thanks Goal for telliing me about this, I think our workout times are crazy different but if you'd like we could schedule a weekend workout together, I have more flexibility then.

Good luck gals and keep pushing play! Goal you're right it does work!

hey! Yea I am but I have to do so either early in the day or when i get in from work. but I have been using it everytime, its is a great way to stay motivated because you know you have committed to that time.

 I finished start it up and I feel like i get all the moves, I due to start Ramp it up tonight... prayyy for me.

 The soreness did go away but you can still feel it when you do the moves, even today I'm still a little sore on my hips from the wide stance squats but no where near as bad as earlier this week.

although, I know that i'll be back to stage one all over again when I start ramp it up this evening lol.

YAY! All the stuff just came today !

Cheers ladies! Best of luck.

 I'm going to check out wowy.com right now! :)

Hi guys!

 I am so glad I found this thread. Anyway I am about to start this program this week once the DVDs arrive and after all of the good stuff I have been reading I am really psyched! Anyway, My first question is how important is following the meal plan they suggest, I am being very concious about what I eat already but I don't want to under eat and be too tired to keep up with the work outs.

 Thanks for any advice!
