Gosh, I feel like this message board will lend so much support & motivation over the next 6 weeks....god knows i am going to need it. Well, a little about myself. I just turned 20, I've always been in great shape...but they weren't kidding when they said "be aware of that freshman 15" For me, it was more like the freshman 25. Through highschool I was very active with sports, work & such...& then came college with lots of down time, & alcohol of course, oh wait I think im supposed to say I never drank while I was underage...scratch that last comment;) But, hey it was a good time...minus the 25 lbs. I'm 5'3" & 135 lbs... So, here I am to try this program out & hopefully have some great results! I would love some workout buddies...or just someone to banter back & forth with about how sore my entire body is!

Anyways, I should probably get some sleep, good old 8:00 am workout then class all day. This very well might be the death of me.

Goodluck everyone

Ya, I also have done the program...a couple years ago back in highschool. I think I made it a couple weeks & just stopped. & those damn hubbys...always have to be bringing home nice things, shame on them! haha. You will definitely get back to 125-130, my goal at this point is to get back to 115-135...I just get so discouraged in the beginning. It seems the first week of working out I am just ridiculously tired, sore & I always weigh more than before I started...given its all the water intake & such but it still feels discouraging knowing im working my butt off...but the scale keeps creeping up...

The only time I ever lost a substantial amount of weight was when I didn't have a scale, maybe I should get rid of mine haha. Oh well, I just got back from good old school, better get to ramping it up before the roommates decide to invade my workout area.

Good luck with the SI6 you can most definitely do it, just remember 6 weeks really isn't that far away. I just have to keep telling myself that!

GAHH. DAY 4, COMPLETE It feels so good to be done, and at a decent time today too! I keep working out at 11:00/11:30 PM & then can't fall asleep until 4 or so, so I knew I had to get this work out in early! RIU is already getting easier, & it was day two! I didn't have to take a break once, but I was struggling with the leg lifts/resistance band. I can already tell I am getting stronger, the first day of SIU I couldn't get half way through the time allotted for push ups, now I can get through the whole minute or so. Next week I am going to start running everyday as well, I figured I'll gradually add in new goals with each week, In the past I've realized if I try to do everything all at once I get overwhelmed & discouraged. This week, just stick to the videos..next week start running, the following week I really need to start focusing on what I eat!

Its funny, every night I go to sleep excited to get up, work out & mark an x off my calendar, & log my workout in the supergym. Never thought that'd happen!

Keep on keeping on everyone & goodluck!

Week 2, gosh I can't wait for week two, congrats! Yesterday I surprisingly kept my calories under 1500...I do well when I keep track of what I am eating from the beginning of the day...if I write down everything at the end I realize "oh wow, I definitely ate way more than I thought" so I am just going to have to tote my diet log around with me if thats what it takes.

The scale surprisingly hasn't been a big problem for me...I just feel good that I am getting up & working out, so i am not too concerned with the numbers..now. IN a couple weeks if its not budging I'll probably have a minor meltdown haha.

Keep up all the hard work & thanks for checking in on me

As for myself...today is DAY 5 & I just finished ramp it up, sort of...just as i got to the ab work my roommate woke up to tell me all about her night & i got side tracked. I've got to finish my homework & head out to my classes, so I am just going to do slim & limber & ab work when I get done with class before work.

Today is going to be a ridiculously long day, good thing the coffees brewing.
yay for day 5
<3allie

Hooray, great to hear only a month more for you & you'll be done with your round!!
I am also doing great, did RIU today...which I really did not want to do, so happy I did it though I went out with the girls...ate too much, drank too much...but hey I can't always be good!
Thank goodness tomorrow is an off day i can tell this past week really has gotten to my muscles...I don't really feel sore anymore, just very exhausted. I can feel the burn in my legs after one set of stairs as opposed to a few flights now a days it seems.
Oh well, 5 more weeks!
week one: COMPLETE.
Good luck with your next week of work outs, keep it up
<3 Allie

day one, week 2. COMPLETE. rough today..hadn't had my coffee for the day...I realize my caffeine kick i the am really does help.
can't wait for tomorrow.
good day

yay for BIU I can't wait until I am there...I feel like thats when I'll finally start seeing some results. I can tell in some of my clothes they actually fit a bit looser, which is crazy for a week & a half but hey I'll take it. Ya, I have stopped getting on the scale...& I'll just do it every monday along with some measurements...because it seems the scale isn't the greatest judge of my progress! This week has been pretty rough, I get up at 8:30 to do RIU, class from 11-2 then I have been running from 2-3, I work from 4-10, then homework..& it seems im in bed around 1 or 2. Its wednesday, but I have a feeling by friday I am going to feel super burnt out!
gotta keep on pushing play!

How did your first day of BIU go? I hope wonderfully! I havn't been online in a couple days..i've been so ridiculously busy this week. I didn't work out thursday...so I decided sunday won't be an off day. But, I did ramp it up on friday...then today (saturday) I had to drive 10 hours round trip to my little sister cheer competition so needless to say, I didn't have time to work out today either. So now I am stuck...tomorrow I think im going to do RIU twice to make me feel better about skipping two days this week. I figure, thats 6 RIUS for the week...& i've ran a couple times this week so Ill feel better about myself haha. I definitely need to get to sleep though if I intend on working out twice tomorrow...I just got back home. Gosh, such an exhausting day.

Allie, I wouldn't do RIU twice in one day. Just shift your schedule down a day. It'll be 6 weeks 1 day.

BIU was good! Unfortunately I've attempted this program so many times in the past that after a couple of days I get really bored with it. By my third day, it wasn't as much of a challenge as I'd like. So, I'm going to do a round of Turbo Jam, and then probably move on to ChaLean Extreme.

I never took before pics this time around. Maybe I'll have my husband take some tonight.

Well...BIU will get boring when you've owned the program for 6 years, and have memorized the workout. I've been on and off SI6 for 6 years! And I've done some more intense programs in the past year so it wasn't as challenging as I thought it would be. When I decided to start SI6 again, I thought I was more out of shape than I really am.

Don't worry about that .4 pounds. You might be retaining water or something. You probably are in decent shape. It's just that BIU works the muscles differently than you're used to. Good luck this week with BIU.
