I'm an artist, writer, stay-at-home mom in Oregon. In 2008, from May through September, I lost 24 pounds doing Slim in Six and Slim Series and counting calories. I got frustrated doing P90X and ended up quitting. I gained back 10 pounds, so now I'm back with a commitment to lose those 10 again. This time I'm teaming up with my coach ChaChaGirl.

I grew up in Florida, where everyone is blond and

Day 1: I'm ready to make some changes, starting today.

Day 4: I already feel my muscles tightening up, and it feels great. Today my
husband and son worked out with me. It was way more fun than watching TV.
I'm having fun learning about WOWY and seeing who else works out with me
at night. Night definitely works better for me than mornings.

Day 7: yesterday was my first "rest" day. I was very tired, so I'm glad I took it,
but today was tough! I had to yell to get through the push-ups. Glad no one
else was home to hear me. I feel great though, and I'm not horrified to look in
the mirror anymore, because I know I'm doing something about what I see
there.
Day 13: Today I finished my Ramp It Up workouts. After my rest day
tomorrow, I'll be starting Burn It Up. I'm proud of myself for making it this
far. It's not easy.
Day 22: Started week 4. Feel definite changes in my ability to do the workout.
Day 25: Burn it up gets harder as I go, not easier, because as I get stronger, I
am able to do each exercise more intensely. Today, I feel some real changes
in my body. I also feel sore!
Day 28: After struggling mentally for a couple of days, I am back on track. I
got really down when I found I had lost no weight or inches after 4 weeks of
slim in 6. I took two days to recommit, and now here I am again.
Day 32: Strongest workout yet. Not EASY, but better.
Day 34: Is it finally happening? According to the numbers, I've lost an inch
and a half on my waist and one on my hips.
Day 36: Burn It Up is still kicking my butt, but I'm starting to fight back.
Feeling good coming into the home stretch of my first Slim in 6 rotation.
What will Day 42 hold for me???
Day 42: 3 pounds lost, 4.5 inches lost. Noticeable changes in my photos. I
had hoped for more weight lost, but I'll take it.

Day 48: Tomorrow I start my second round of Slim In Six. I spent the last
week recovering doing a mixture of different Hip Hop Abs workouts. Love
Shaun T, but I'm ready to get back to Debbie. I have high expectations for
this round, since I'm ready to hit the ground running. Maybe this time, I'll see
a more extreme weight loss. Dare I hope for 10 pounds?
Day 55: Traveling with family. Have kept up my workouts and calorie
counting fairly well. The key to staying connected to my exercise and diet is
posting on the message boards while traveling. Keeps me grounded and in
touch with my priorities. It is tough to fit in the workouts, but my husband
and I are supporting each other in getting it done.

Days 58 and 59: I'm on the 2 day fast. Wow, do I miss food. Days seem very
colorless and flavorless, and I have little resolve to accomplish anything. Feel
very spacey. I have lost weight, though, so I will persist to see how it goes.
I'm missing my exercising. Did a little stretching last night and felt very tight.

Day 60: Starting Slim Series 4 week rotation today, after 2-day fast.
Day 66: There are no more secrets in Slim Series now. I have tried them all,
and tomorrow is my rest day. I have to say, I LOVE SLIM SERIES. For all you
guys struggling to get through your SI6 rotation, it will be worth it once you
get to slim series.
Day 71: I upped my calories to about 1900 per day to account for my Slim
Series workouts. I have kind of plateaued on weight loss, so I may have to
tweak that a little. I still have two weeks to go on Slim Series, and I'm still
loving it. Planning to start Power Half Hour after that. I find I do well with the
workouts that mix it up each day. I get bored easily.
Day 77: weighed in at 203 today! That means I've lost 17 pounds since I
started. Wow!
Day 91: Finished Slim Series a week ago. Meant to do light exercise during
my recovery week, but I've been sick with a cold, and I haven't felt up to it.
Took my progress pics today, though, and I'm pleased. Tomorrow, I start my
rotation of Power Half Hour.
Day 105. I've been doing PHH for about 2 weeks now. It doesn't feel as difficult as Slim Series, and sometimes I wonder if I'm getting the same results, but my weight continues to drop, so I'm going to keep going for the full six weeks. I really like Tony and the way he stresses that perfection isn't necessary, just showing up and doing the work every day. Find something that works, as he says, and keep with it.
Sept 22: First day of P90X--ab ripper x is killer.
Dec. 26: Well, I didn't do well with P90X. I prefer the flow of Debbie's workouts. I ended up stopping altogether except for the rare workout here or there. Now, I guess I'm trying to get back up and running again. I have done start it up twice in the past three days. I'll do start it up until my holiday visitors go home, then I'll move to ramp it up.

March: About day 300--I haven't worked out steadily since, wow, back in August or September. It finally caught up with me. I've gained six pounds, and lost who knows how much muscle. I'm gettting on the horse again--day 2 of Slim Series.
