All DietsWhat You Should Know

Naturally it’s a prudent idea to consult your physician prior to choosing a weight loss program like Slim in 6.
I am just starting week 4. Kinda frustrated because I have only lost a pound and I’m doing Weight Watchers too. The first week I gained 2 lbs, the second I lost 3.5, and this week I gained half a pound. I only have 10 lbs til my goal and was hoping this would help me get there faster. This happened to me the last time I did this too (but I only made it to week 5). Things are fitting a little better, I just wish the results came faster. Sorry, just frustrated and trying to hang in there til the end of week 6. Anyone else having a slow go?
[Reply]
I am also doing weight watchers and the weight is coming off slow but hang in there. I it takes awhile for it to come off it’s happening the same way I loose then gain. It’s like I gain 2 weeks out of the month then loose 2 weeks. I have been on WW for 30 weeks and lost 20lbs but I lost 2 dress sizes. So what I am saying i keep your head up andthe workout cd’s can’t hurt.

I have been thru breast cancer three times and all the drugs have put weight on in my middle section. I have done atkins, 6 week body makeover but still have the problem with the middle. It has taken me 2yrs to lose 18 lbs. My arms are week and want something that will help to tone them and concentrate on my middle. Do you think this will help me.
[Reply]
This works if you use it. I lost twelve pounds in three weeks. I didn’t even know I had lost weight until my friends said I looked thinner. Then I got on the scale and wow! I was impressed.
[Reply]
just got it in, saturday 1-9-10, will star on monday 1-10-10 and will write back in 6 weeks!
[Reply]
Please let me know how it is going. I am seriously considering it.
[Reply]
HI BONNIE I JUST ORDERED THE SLIM IN SIX 10 MINUTES AGO I WAS THINKING WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY IT TOGETHER. WRITE BACK. 1/20/10
[Reply]
I ordered Slim in 6 a few months ago. i’ve lost twenty pounds. it does take some scheduling and dedication but it works. and i seriously recommend it. i stopped it for a while because just in the 1st two weeks i saw great results. and i got comfortable with it. but i’m starting it again and i’m still feeling results again. i love that it’s designed for women. to not build you up but slim you down. it’s worth your money!
[Reply]
I just ordered it today
1-10-10… Sammi, I’d love to read your posts about your progress & thoughts on Slim in 6, I’ll do the same rcv. it next week!
[Reply]
I lost 20 pounds and 4 sizes of clothing in 3 weeks. (I also dis atkins during that period)
[Reply]
Thanks what I was thinking of doing. I bought slim in 6 about 4 years ago and I’m ashame to say I just started the program. So Sol atkins and slim 6 works. I know atkins work.
[Reply]
LOL Opal! I bought it about 4 years ago too, and am just now getting ready to use it! I was just trying to remember what came with it… I think a yoga mat and a resistance band?
[Reply]
Haha Opal! I bought mine about 4 years ago and am just about to start using it too! I was just trying to find out what came with it, a yoga mat and a resistance band, I think.
[Reply]
Got mine on 1/7/10, just opened it on Saturday and will start on 1/11/10. Let you know whats up after the 6 day express.
[Reply]
Got mine and used the ab workout, slim in 6 pack, everytime i did a video and lost 2 to 3 inches off of my waist every week.. I LOVE MY RESULTS!!!
[Reply]
Yes, it works. You HAVE to follow the instructions. Watch your calories and do the workouts. I have had friends try it and say that it doesn’t work. This is because they eat whatever they want and work out when they feel like it! If you don’t do what it says, you won’t get the results. If you do, it’s amazing the results you will get!
I purchased mine on Amazon.com and didn’t have to do the monthly installments or get any other programs that I didn’t want to sign up for initially.But, ended up buying extra dvds to tone up!
[Reply]
How often is it suggested that you work out with this program? Is it an everyday workout? Because with other workout programs after the first day I am too sore to do another for a couple days.
[Reply]
you have to workout 6 days in a row then you get one day for a break and you do that for 6 weeks plus eating right…
[Reply]
i started mine on jan 7th and m excited to see my results n six weeks….
[Reply]
Started tonight 1/11/10. Hoping to lose 10 pounds and about 5 inches. We will see!
[Reply]
My sister let me borrow the SI6. Does anyone have instructions. Am I supposed to do this everyday for 6 days a week for 6 weeks???
[Reply]
Alicia,
According to the instructions, you are supposed to start by fasting for two days (juice and green tea only). After that make sure you eat at least one meal before starting your excerise program. You are supposed to do the regular work out six days a week, starting with “start it up”, once you are comfortable with this level move to “ramp it up”. In the last four weeks you should be doing the “burn it up”. Also, while doing these you should do the “slim & limber” stretching six days a week and the ab workout “slim & six pack” three days a week.
[Reply]
So Alicia this programs officially asks you to fast yourself for two days??? Im thinking about getting it bout I was always curious about the nutritional guide because I see reviews where people are saying that the exercising is great but no one has hardly mentioned the nutritional plan..
[Reply]
Sorry this question is geared towards April
Are you supposed to be fasting and doing the workout? Or do you start with 2 days of fasting and then start the workout on the 3rd day? Is there more information with the package?
[Reply]
can cancer patients do this also?
[Reply]
Absolutely Rachel, cancer patients can do anything! Almost
[Reply]
can hip replacment do this i had one 7 years ago my 50
[Reply]
I am wondering what the instructions are. I received from my friend with no instructions. Only dvds. What do I do now? Thanks
[Reply]
I just ordered it Saturday, Jan. 16, 2010. I am hoping to start 1-24-10. I will keep everyone posted! I am really excited to try this. So far the posts have been very positive.
[Reply]
Does this plan include a special diet or just exercises?
[Reply]
I just wanted to say that the disadvantage portion is not correct, you do not have to pay for slim in 6 in the 3 19.99 instalments,you can or you can pay for it all at the same time, they offer it right away on the website when you purchace and over the phone, also I dont see how not putting diet pills and other toxic substances into your system is a disadvantage, and as for dieters who dont want to change there lifestyle, well good luck keeping the weight off if you even loose it!
[Reply]
Thanks for the info, Trisha, we’ve changed our review! We look for supplements that can help dieters get more out of the work they put in to their dieting and exercise, but I certainly agree that the dieting and exercise are the most important part of weight loss.
[Reply]
Does anyone with diabetes use this? The fasting part bothers me because this would not be a good thing for a diabetic…..I’ve got to do something about my weight and this looks do-able. Thx!
[Reply]
Brooke, I am anemic and can not fast but just ordered this product yesterday. I already have a certain diet I have to follow so I pretty much just purchased it for the work out itself. I figure working out is better then not which is my current state. I will post how it goes when I receive it and start the program!
[Reply]
How long do you exercise each day with Slim6? Is it more than an hour or less? I would like to do it in the early morning before work.I know that there are diferent disk, but just wondering the amount of time to complete a exercise program per day. thanks:)
[Reply]
I have read some negative reviews on the customer service and I was wondering exactly how much does it cost ALTOGETHER???
[Reply]
Just got mine last week and total for program + shipping and tax was 71.66. I paid in 1 payment, not installments.
[Reply]
I was just wondering does Slim in 6 really tone your thighs and butt? That is really where I am wanting to see results.
[Reply]
I started SI6 Mon 18th of ‘10 and after just 3 days of working out, I feel firmer in my legs, thighs and abs. I’m also following Medifast program and I’ve lost 3 pounds in 3 days
So, you can count on toneing your legs and butt.
[Reply]
My SI6 should arrive today. I’m crazy excited. If it’s there when I get home tonight I will start tonight!! I got about 50 lbs to lose so we’ll see how far I get in 6 weeks. I live in Houston and Rodeo is coming up – GOTS TO LOOK GOOD!!!
[Reply]
yeahh i live in rosenberg and i just ordered mine so i hope it really works….do we have to really follow the diet they give us or can we follow our own n still see results?
[Reply]
I started on Jan. 11, have been out of shape for a long time, and gained alot of weight with my first son. I am now on week 2 and feeling much better!! if you push past the first 3-4 days of soreness you will succeed. No program works if you don’t stick to it. Nutrition is easy because it just recommends you do 5 meals a day, of course healthy choices and portion control. If you check out their website Beach body, you can find alot of info. on there, just explore the website. FOR THOSE CONCERNED ABOUT CLEANSE, this is not mandatory. SOME PEOPLE DON’T DO WELL WITH FASTING AND MAY QUIT. Just start eating healthier. I did the first dvd (25 min) for first week, then moved up to Ramp it up (45 min) week 2, and that is where I am at now. I’m gonna keep pushing play till my 6 th week, and expecting to see great results.. Also, if you can, take before pics. it motivated me. & looking forward to seeing the changes. good luck everyone
[Reply]
Hi raquel I really would like to know your results. I had read that this program was for people that wanted to loose around 25 or less pound and I want to loose around 50 I am 23 had no kinds I never did exercise I need to loose weight and look better by the summer so I am thinkig on buying this program. Let me know how is going this for you.
[Reply]
Raquel –
Like Jeanette, would love to know your opinion as of now. Let us know how it’s going – Thanks!
[Reply]
I am on my 4th day and thought I was going to die. The legs hurt really bad, but feel it is working. So you moved up in the disk the 2nd week. I thought we were to do 2 weeks of each disk?? Let me know how it is going for you .
[Reply]
I am about 20 pounds over weight. I am on day four and I am feeling much better. I was so sore on day two and three. I thought I was going to die. On day four I am much better and I feel great. I hope I can stick to the six weeks.
[Reply]
I started SI6 3 weeks ago and have had great results! I feel the differance in my body shape. I workout 7 days a week because I don’t want to get lazy. For everyone just starting..good luck and you WILL get resualts! Keep Strong!
[Reply]
are you doing the diet too? (like supplements or anything) or are you just watching what you eat?
[Reply]
I have been doing Slim in 6 for 3 days now and I believe it’s working. My weight fluctuates so it’s hard to tell how much weight I have lost exactly. I have just been doing the first workout (Start It Up) and it shocked me how worn out I was afterwards. I think of myself as fairly inshape and this video kicked my butt! Very good workout. I am combining the workout with the Special K diet.
[Reply]
Just wondering…I started slim in 6 2 1/2 weeks ago and I have lost only 2 lbs. When I weighed in today I gained 1 lb. I’m very discouraged because I have worked out every night and not consumed more then 1200 calories each day. What do you think is causing the weight gain and what should I do?
[Reply]
Have look been keeping track of carbs? Have you noticed any differences in your clothes? Drink plenty of water. 64 oz
Are you eating 5 times a day? (small portions)
[Reply]
If you were already at a healthy weight then maybe you lost weight but gained muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat.
[Reply]
I’ve been experiencing the same thing. I’m now in week 5. I have only lost 3 lbs but I do notice my butt has lifted and I feel firmer all over. I also can get through Burn it Up with out stopping so my muscles and endurance are getting stronger. I’m not seeing huge changes, but I have read that you really don’t start to see big changes until you are at the 6 week mark. I have my fingers crossed and I just keep giving it hell everyday. It has to be doing something!
[Reply]
I had great results witht the program. For food problems use a free food tracker at Sparkpeople.com. It gives you graphs and will really point out where you are going wrong with the food.
[Reply]
so just a little fyi its best not to measure your fitness by pounds you lose considering that muscle weighs more than fat. you should be measuring by inches lost or like you said earlier you noticed that you were feeling firmer. so be patient about how getting, it takes time but in the end the results are worth it.
[Reply]
Did you take measurements before you started? Sometimes you can’t tell by weight because you may be gaining muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. But if you would take measurements you will be able to see how many inches you are loosing!! Good luck and keep pushing play!
[Reply]
I have been doing the SI6 workout for just over a week now I eat very healthy already so I haven’t been following the diet plan. I haven’t noticed any results yet. Is it too soon to notice results or does the program not work without the diet plan?
[Reply]
same thing i was wondering..since i just ordered mine that was the first question that came into mind, if you find out can you please let me know..thanks
[Reply]
I just ordered the slim in 6 workout on ebay, the complete set. I will get the package next week and am excited!!!!!!! I will keep you guys updated about my results.
[Reply]
I want to get started but want to purchase on ebay as well. How much did you save? and did you get the entire SI6 DVD set? thanks
[Reply]
I just finished my 2nd week in slim in 6. I feel great, and people ask me, did you loose weight? I feel my stomack smaller and my thighs shaped. I am eating smaller portions now and cut down on sweet. I lost 4 lbs so far. Good luck on anyone that’s trying this. You can do it. Go for it.
[Reply]
Can you check back here and share your results again or at least when you complete the program? Please
Thanks
[Reply]
I ordered the program and anxiously waited for it to arrive. Hope it comes soon. Summer is coming! I do have a question though. I had a baby and have most of my weight to loose around my gut. My question is, if i loose a lot of weight around my middle, will i have a lot of flab hanging resulting in me needing a tummy tuck or will this program tighten it so i wont hang? Does that make sense?
[Reply]
I have this same issue! that is why im debating getting this program. it sounds like it will lean you which means tighten u also, so im wondering if it will tighten the tummy midsection. im at my prebaby weight but NOT my prebaby shape
im sick of people asking me if im expecting!
[Reply]
I think your skin will tighten with time. This goes for anyone who loses weight and has loose skin. Exercise helps, as does exfoliating with a terry cloth and soap in the shower 2-3 times a week. Massaging the skin in circular motions at least once daily with emu oil or any cream that contains collagen and/or vitamin E also helps. The exercise will tighten the muscles and eliminate fat while the exfoliation and massaging of the skin will improve circulation and aid your body in restoring elasticity to your skin. An added bonus of the exfoliation and massaging of the skin is that it might help improve the appearance of stretch marks on your post baby tummy
[Reply]
How long does it take to do the program everyday?
[Reply]
Start it Up is about 20 mins. (You do that the 1st week) Ramp it up is about 40 mins. (2-3rd weeks) Burn it up is about 60 mins. (weeks 4,5 and 6)
[Reply]
You guys won’t be disapointed I just started to day and it really really kicked my butt! If u follow tru I’m sure that in 6 weeks with a balnced diet you could transfor ur body Im just slowly changing my eating habits but I will repot in a week
[Reply]
I was wondering how intense are the exercises. Is it suitable for beginners or just for the experienced.
[Reply]
There are three levels of intensity in the videos: Start it Up, Ramp it Up, and Burn it Up. I like that because you can start slow and work your way up. I’ve been using Slim in 6 for about 4 weeks. I tried Burn it Up for the first time last night and couldn’t keep up with it, but it will make a good challenge. I’ve lost 14 pounds so far by using Slim in 6, cutting calories, and walking/jogging.
[Reply]
Ummm…. i am about 220 lbs and i am starting the SI6 program… and i am on the first week and it burns… but i can get through it….
[Reply]
I started slim in 6 about a week ago… and did the 6 day diet and lost 6 lbs… i forgot to track my inches.. I went with the second plan thats in the book… it seemed to be the most followable to me seeing i eat mainly protein anyway. I took 2 weeks off before i started the work outs and i am now on my second day. and let me tell you my legs burn… i weigh 220 and am about 5′5 and i can do the programs. so i think that anyone can… good luck
[Reply]
How strict is the diet??? im about 180lbs and i wanna lose 20-30lbs. for my brothers wedding in MAY!..is this possible?
I think the moves are very simplistic, so very suitable for uncoordinated people like myself. The moves are basic and intensity increases as you advance to thru the different levels. I love SI6, there is a lot of focus on correct form and the stretching sections are yoga! I was over 200lbs. and had no trouble getting going. I noticed results right away and feel much stronger.
[Reply]
I recieved my slim in 6 yesterday and i read the instructions, and they said to take all the differnt supplements. Do we really need to take these? On the infamercial, they did not say anything about the supplements… Anyone achieve their goals without the supplements?
[Reply]
Did everyone do the cleanse first? I’m not sure which way to go. I don’t want to discourage myself by not making it through the 2 days. On the other hand I don’t want to not have the best results possible.
[Reply]
I didn’t do the cleanse. i just started in on the exercises that was 9-3-2009 i was 198 now i am 172 so far . i have gone from a 16 to a 10. i feel 100 times better. i am 5″9 and 51 years old. i work on a computer all day and was getting no exercise at all. I love this series and own her other tapes too . just push play
[Reply]
I got my SI6 last week 1/22/10…still havent’ used it, but will get started because I would like to lose at least 15 pounds and some inches by the end of March 2010…
[Reply]
I am beginning again today. Did you start already? Your 15 lbs. by March should not be a problem, but you will see a definite change in your overall body shape/tone that is much more significant than the lbs. displayed. I am excited about starting up again.
[Reply]
how to use the dvds. which one do i use for a certain week or day. It is unclear on how you use the dvds and so on.
[Reply]
You use the “start it up” for the first week. then move to the “ramp it up” the second week; and then starting on the third week forward, you use the “burn it up” until you have completed the program. All of the instructions are in the pamplets that came with the DVDs.
[Reply]
Just for thought. The only reason you need to fast is if you are using the bonus booklet “Lose 10 pounds in 6 days.” This is the booklet, for jump starting your exercise,and diet.
This is not something that you have to do before starting the program, it’s just an extra.
[Reply]
ok so theres a fast and then the 10lbs in 6 days is the 2 day fast part of the 6 days? and ahas anyone tried this part of the program did it work?
[Reply]
has anyone tried the 6day and lost 10lbs, and is the 2day cleanse part of the 6 days or is 8 total
[Reply]
I’m in a similar situation. I don’t really need to lose any weight but I’m out of shape. Are you noticing a difference in how you feel overall from the workouts?
[Reply]
I think it is great and easy. I have recommended to all my friends. My fiance couldnt understand why i was sore after 24 min of excersising. He tried it with me and hurt for three days. This is a great at home way to tone up even if you only have 10 pounds to lose.
[Reply]
I am a fairly athletic/muscular person, BIG thighs, but they’re mostly muscle. Was wondering if this will take away from the results since I already have muscle. My upper body is looser, but was looking for results all over.. or is this unrealistic?
[Reply]
For those of you not seeing the scale results wanted I suggest keeping track of your inches. Muscle weighs more that fat but takes up less space in the universe. Think about it!
[Reply]
To get the reults that Slim in 6 offers you need to follow the diet plan included with the program. 5 SMALL meals every 2 to 3 hours and keep daily caloric intake around 1,200 on average depending on what you weigh now. If you are doing Weight Watchers or any other program with this, that’s fine. You are still getting healthy and toned BUT you will NOT see the results advertised in the informercials.
[Reply]
I posted a question about the $ but you seem pretty informed, do you know anything about Stemulite supplement?
[Reply]
I disagree i didn’t follow their diet plan. i just eat less and stopped the snacking that we all do that we shouldn’t. i have lost 26 # since sept 2009 and have gone from a 16 to a 10. You do not HAVE to follow their diet plan to get results you just have to commit to doing the work
[Reply]
Hey Lesa, Do you think this is feasable for a 180 lb person to lose 20-30lbs by May?? Tryin to lose the weight for a wedding.i workout 6 days a wk doin tredmill, eliptical and bike for 45-60 mins/day, only lost abotu 5lbs so far, lookin for a faster way and also lose some thigh, butt and arms weight. Does this work?????Is it worth the $60?
[Reply]
its definetly possible if you commit to it!
All the comments have been helpful, i’ve seen the infomercial and been curious is the TV commercial the best place to purchase to get all the goodies or can you get it cheaper somewhere else?
[Reply]
I purchased some of the beach body products on Ebay – alot cheaper. I have also purchased from Beachbody.com.
[Reply]
I’m 56, has had arthescopic knee surgery is slim in 6 a good choice for me.
[Reply]
Linda, I think these workouts can be hard on the knees (just my opinion).
Nonetheless, you should consult with your physician to be sure.
[Reply]
I have knee problems as well; however, throughout the video Chalene provides alternatives for movements involving the knees. I do as much as I can and when I get to the exercises that really work the knees, I either skip it or do the modified moves. I still lost weight and got toned.
[Reply]
Is there some sort of maintenance plan for once the six weeks is up to further/maintain your results? Do you just keep doing the Burn It Up DVD, or the extra ones or what? I’m interested in this program, but I have a lot of weight to lose and I am just wondering if I would need to come up with a maintenance plan (join a gym, WW, etc.) for after I let this thing kick my butt for six weeks! There seem to be a ton of positive reviews for this program, so I’m definitely considering it, but I want to know exactly what I’m getting myself into before I drop the $$ on it. Thanks ladies!!
[Reply]
there is some sort of maintenance for it i believe you just keep doing the videos maybe alternating the days and what not. but i do find that alot of people once they are done that program they get the turbo jam its supposed to be more intense and very energetic. it doesnt look like one i would start with but if i get the results im hopeing from slim in 6 then i might even look into it. that was my biggest concern regarding the beachbody programs it seems alot of people are buying p90x turbo jam and slim in 6 and doing a whole bunch of videos but it is excercise and hey ur not spending what u would be at the gym and ur in the comfort of your home at your pace. if you read the message boards on the beachbody web site they have people who only do slim in 6 for like a year later they maintain it very well.hope this helps.
[Reply]
I purchased the keep it up dvd and also the slim series. i love these dvds also. i now have variety — you can mix them up so you don’t get so tired of the same thing over and over. glad i purchased them
[Reply]
I was just browsing on e-bay and there is a keep it up video that says it is for use after the six weeks are up. I’m seriously tempted to purchase it.
[Reply]
Hey! im currently on my 3rd pregnancy and it is my last. im due march 9th 2010 and was wondering if it should be fine to start it like a month after baby. also ill be nursing and for me personally its a total myth that u lose weight nursing i find im hungry all the time so would keeping my calorie intake lower then what it is now
but a bit higher then 1200 not give me the results im hopeing to get? and i definatly dont want to decrease the supply lol. if any new moms out there or if anyone plans on starting slim in 6 by april keep me posted and we can give eachother support
[Reply]
I too am on my 3rd pregnancy and due March 12. I’m thinking about Slim in 6. Do you think it will work? I usually just run after the baby is born but it takes me forever to get back to my prepregnancy weight.
[Reply]
i hate running lol ill go on an elliptical before i step outside to jog lol. so i think the videos will be good for me. ive done videos before and find it alot easier especially since i wont have to pack up 3 kids to go outside. my 2 oldests can play in the back yard while i do it or something. im really excited.. i want to deliver just so i can start lol. but i believe u have to wait till after ur 6 week check up, but i know my body ill see how it goes for me.
[Reply]
i just had my 2nd dec. 14th. and am nursing… i started slim 3 days ago, and i am SO sore, it feels great! a friend made me a copy so i dont have the diet plan, but even so, i wouldnt follow it due to nursing… i am just watching what i eat and trying to eat amaller portions… so far, i would say go for it! but do wait the 6 weeks… just walk or something until then.
I have a 6month old and am still nursing. I just started SI6 and am doing weight watchers also. Weight Watchers takes in the fact that you are a nursing mom and adjusts your points accordingly.
[Reply]
I am due March 25 with my second child. I weigh 215 now and my body is so out of shape. I bought SI6 after the birth of my daughter in 2007, but didnt stick to it. I have no doubt it will work if i can only get motivated to stick it out. I will be nursing with this baby also, but was curious about something that i’ve read. Does anyone know if it’s true that if you loose more than 1-2# a week your body can release toxins that are stored in the fat that will contaminate the milk supply?
[Reply]
I am 3 days into my slim in 6 and i can say that the videos killed my legs and butt… I weigh about 220 right now and i am hoping to loose some weight… and i am just counting calories with the plan… and i did do the 6 day express prior to the actual program and only lost 5 pounds…. i hope that this system works…
[Reply]
it will just give it time .
[Reply]
What type of exercise is slim in 6(ramp it up)? Aerobics,Calisthenics, etc..
[Reply]
FYI: I first purchased this program a long time ago (over 6 years) I was very happy with the results losing 40lbs initially. But more important than that assisted me in taken care of myself. I have become more physically active over the years, but when I start slacking I still work out with my dvd to get me going again. When I mastered the program and wanted to do a little more strength building. I did it by adding wrist/ankle weights to the program. I just wanted to put my two cent out there. I am not a young lady and have tried many of things through out the years.
Thanks

I want to know from those who have achieved results with Slim and 6 if they also purchased the supplements offered through the Beachbody site? When I received all of the materials and saw that the 6 day express diet plan required additional weight loss supplements (not included in the 3 easy payments of 19.95 + shipping cost)to achieve the weight loss they claim is possible, I felt a bit duped. My goal is to lose 20 pounds and achieve overall better health. I started the program on Monday (without supplements per medical advice) so I am hopeful that I will still succeed. For anyone considering buying the program through the website, I would recommend getting it for a fraction of the cost from Amazon.com. I don’t think it is worth $70 for one video w/5 workouts and a couple of pamphlets with generic advice.

I have had slim in 6 for about 2 years it does work. I originally lost 30 pounds and several inches, then I tore out my acl and have put back on the 30lbs. I am finding it very difficult to do the program again with leg /knee problems. Has anyone worked thru these issues with slim in 6?

It does work if you do it consistantly! Just stick with it!I have finished the 6 weeks, along with my niece. We both did weight watchers with it as well. I lost 4.5 lbs, she lost 7.5. We both lost 3% bodyfat. I lost 1.5 inches off my hips, and that was were I needed it most and 3 off my waist. Definitely gained muscle, that was the frustrating part of weighing in on the scale. I’d lose one week and gain the next. Had to stop weighing in because it just bummed me out. My clothes definitely are fitting better, and got rid of a bunch of old pants. Going to start P90X for the next challenge.

I dont think fasting for two days is good for anyone. I could do it but i sure wouldnt feel like working out if i did. Im doing well with weight watchers on line but am seriously considering this program to speed up weight loss and tone up. My problem with work out programs is that im not very coordinated and was wondering would this be hard for me to follow. (Never was a good dancer)

The moves are pretty basic. They kind of build on each other. The start it up video is really basic and then the ramp it up builds on the moves you mastered in the first video. I’ve only been doing it for 2 weeks so I haven’t done the burn it up video yet but from what I’ve seen it again just builds on the moves you mastered and does it at a slightly faster pace. Hope that helped!

Hello slim in 6′ers. I purchased this problem about a month ago and I was doing it off and on, more off than on. I didn’t change my diet or my life which is why I haven’t seen any results. I am very hard to motivate which is why I haven’t stuck with it. But, here’s what has changed. I just bought my wedding dress for my September wedding…It’s time to really push myself! I have started today and have just completed my first workout. In addition to the workouts, I am also on Nutrisystem. I know Nutrisystem works because I’ve used it in the past and went from 165 to 140, just by eating the food and sticking with the program. Now, with Nutrisystem and SI6, I am confident that I’ll reach my goal weight of 130, if not more. I am starting the program at 153 lbs and I’m really anxious to see the results. I have bookmarked this blog and I’ll keep in touch as far as my progress. Good luck everyone!

Hi everyone.I’m 36,5′7 and started this program exactly 3 weeks ago at 195. I’ve gone lower fat and low/no carbs.I have stuck to this program faithfully for 3 weeks.I’ve only lost about 5 pounds so far.I must be getting stronger though because I can almost keep up on the “ramp it up” cd. I started with start it up for a week and went to ramp it up. I’m looking to lose my thunder thighs,flabby arms, and my “roll” on my stomach.My friend and I are taking measurements every two weeks and so far lost a total of 3.5 (hips,thighs,arms,waist,chest) I just want it to melt off. wish me luck and good luck to you all.

i just saw the infomercial for the P90x and read the reviews and they said that if you are not in shape, to start with one of beachbodys other products so i found this one. i am reading these reviews also but am still skeptical. i am 5′7 and about 190 lbs. what can you tell me about how to go about using these programs? where do i start? will they actually work?
please let me know! i would rather buy this, if it works, than pay for a personal trainer!!

Has anyone used this program that already works out 4-5 times a week for 30 min medium high aerobics. I had gone from 180 to 140 4 years ago with a great gym program ( I worked for the YMCA so membership was free, very nice!) Now I have gain 15 back, but still work out regularly. The only difference is I can not reduce calories below 1500 a day because of medical conditions.
I am wondering if this program will be able to jump start my weight back to 140 or even 135.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to address a few people wondering if Si6 is right for them because they want to lose a lot of weight. For the most part if you only have a small amount of weight to lose — maybe about 30 lbs, then you can indeed reach your goals in 6 weeks. However, anyone who has more than that to lose needs to realize that it will take you a lot longer to safely lose that weight. If you watch the infomercial the success stories of larger individuals mention that it takes some 6 months, 8 months and more. One individual lost 200 lbs on this program in 18 months or maybe it was 2 years. So, you need to be realistic. For those wanting to tone and take off a small amount of baby fat (15-30 lbs), 6 weeks is definitely obtainable if you follow all the directions and diet. For those with a lot of weight to lose, any diet and exercise plan will benefit you and by all means Si6 will help you, but you will need to have reasonable expectations. You WILL see a difference in 6 weeks — If you weigh 220 and in 6 weeks you are about 190 — that’s a success!!! Keep going and it will come off — eventually. Just don’t expect to weigh 220 and in 6 weeks look like Angelina Jolie.
Good luck to everyone and success is measured by being healthier — not necessarily being lighter–I’d take muscle tone and feeling good over the numbers on the scale any day.

Has anyone seen results with slim in 6 by eating a very basic low calorie diet(fruits, veggies, and salad)
[Reply]
Well it’s 3/18/10 and I’m fixing to order the program. I’m 170lbs, 5′4″ and 21. I used to play tons of sports in high school and once I was out I got lazy and wrapped up in college. I turn 21 on May 17th and I’m hoping to lose 15-20lbs by then. Do you think this is a reasonable goal if I follow the programs and eat healthy?
At 21 years old I don’t feel as sexy as I should and my self-esteem and weight are starting to effect the intimate moments with my boyfriend. Please tell me this program works!!
