HI!

I haven't done SIU. But like any program, you need to be patient. Every body is different. Every body will respond in different ways. The results some have may not be the same results another will have. Just be patient. Everyone's story is there for motivation--its the end product and the process that got the person there--dedication and persistence. Keep pushing play and sticking to your nutrition, you will see and feel success.

One a success story uses "rounds" it refers to how many times they did a program. For example, if a program is 6 weeks, they did the program 6 times from beginning to end. If the program is a 90 day program such as P90X and they did 3 rounds that means the person did 3 rounds of P90X. Does that make sense?

As for my experience, my first program was TurboFire (90 days), I lost about 15 pounds. But I was still jiggling. To date, I have done several programs to keep the weight down and to add on lean muscle.

Lower Back Stretch #1
Lie down on the floor with your back flat to the floor.
Bend both legs and place your feet flat on the floor.
Extend both arms out to each side of your body.
Now slowly drop both knees to the floor to one side until you feel the stretch.
Hold the stretch for 30 seconds and repeat to the other side.
You can repeat this several times for an awesome stretch in your lower back.  

Lower Back Stretch #2
Start by lying down on your back.
Bend your left knee and place your foot flat on the floor.
Lift your right leg and lift it up towards the ceiling and grab it with both hands behind the calf or thigh
(whichever is more comfortable for you).
Gently pull your leg towards your chest until you feel the stretch.
For a deeper stretch, lift your head up off the floor lifting up towards your extended leg.
Once you feel the stretch in your lower back, hold for 30 seconds. 

Lower Back Stretch #3
Start by sitting up straight on the floor (do not arch your back).
Extend your right leg straight out in front of you.
Bending your left leg, cross it over your right leg and place your foot flat on the floor.
Take your right elbow and place it on your left knee. 
Place your right hand out to the side for support.
Now gently twist your body to the left until you feel the stretch. 
Hold for 30 seconds and repeat on the other side.

Upper Back Stretching #1
Stand with feet hip width apart and toes pointed forward.Reach both arms out in front of you and clasp your hands together.
Now reach your arms out in front of you and turn your palms to face forward.
Hold this stretch for about 30 seconds.
To take this same stretch and stretch the side back muscle, the Latissimus muscle, take your arms and point them straight up towards the ceiling with palms facing towards the ceiling. 
Now slightly bend at the waist to the right side and hold the stretch.  Repeat this on the other side.

Upper Back Stretch #2
This back stretching exercise requires a chair.  
So you will get to get off of your feet to perform this stretch.Sit at the edge of a chair with feet flat on the floor.
Place your arms straight out in front of you.
Rotate your hands so that your palms are facing out (opposite of each other).
Contract your ab muscles and pretend as if you are reaching over a ball so that your upper back is rounded.  
Once you feel the stretch, hold for 30 seconds or more.

Hope this helps
