Slim in 6 - Weight Loss Message Board

txcntrygrl · 08-26-2004, 02:46 PM

I ws taking Ionamin for weight control but I stopped due to my thyroid meds being increased. I want to make sure I let my body adjusts to the change and I would rather not be on the Ionamin during that time.

I was able to lose 9lbs on it in four weeks. I was on a low dose and I chose to lose it slowly. I have gained almost 2 lbs since I stopped taking the Ionamin. So it is important for me to maintain my weight at this time.

I purchased Slim in 6 since I have heard such great reviews on it. I hope I can tone up and trim a few inches everywhere. Although I wouldn't mind keeping my inches around the bust area. LOL

Is anyone out there doing the slim in 6 program and if so can you help support me during this time? I don't like going to gyms because I am a bit self concious(sp) about my body and I would prefer to do this at home.

txcntrygrl,
I used the Slim in 6 program back in May. I was pretty happy with the results. I lost 12.5 pounds and about 13 inches. It wasn't quite as much as I had hoped, but ti was still good. My plan at the time was to do it again, I just haven't gotten that motivated. The exercising, although it was a little hard for me has helped to keep me from gaining all of the weight back. I'm still down about 7 pounds from before I started. The thought the diet was pretty easy to follow because it's not real strict and I've been able to keep it up pretty well even though I'm not doing the workouts. The workouts were a little too high impact for me, I just really had trouble motivating myself to do them everyday. I always felt better after I did, but it was just hard to get myself to put the DVD in the player. I also used the Slim Formula pills. I don't think they did anything. I switched to Stacker 2 after about 4 weeks and I definitely had more energy. I think that if you have a lot of will power and can really stick to the diet and the workout, you can definitely get great results. I just ordered the Yoga Booty Ballet program from BeachBody.com. Those workouts look like they might be more fun. So I'm hoping that I can stick with it. Anyway, good luck and feel free to ask any questions you have.

I just borrowed a friend's tape a few days ago,and tried it once.I'm not the most coordinated person,so I had a little trouble,and after about 10 minutes,my knees started to kill me so I had to stop.I'm going to keep trying though,and hopefully I will see some results.

I am on day 4 of the Start It Up program and so far so good. I am a little uncordinated when it comes to the backward lunges. Each day gets easier to do. The first day I thought I was going to die but the way the program is set out it makes it easy to follow. The chart helps you mark of the days you have done and the dvds are timed and each exercise is timed to help make it easier to get through them. I am using the Slimming Formula. Not sure if I can tell if they make a difference. I also purchased the bands too but I am not ready to use those yet.

I also ordered Core Secrets. (the one that uses the ball) I liked it because of the flash cards that show you the different ways to use the ball.
