SLIM IN 6: Help Me Look Hot in My Wedding Dress Challenge!

[misplaced southerner]

GOOD MORNING ALL!!!!! Today is DAY 1 of the "SLIM IN 6 :Help Me Look Hot in My Wedding Dress Challenge." As you have all heard (ad nauseum) my big day is June 30...yes of THIS YEAR! Post divorce I weighed 220. When i met my fiance i had lost weight and was down to 152. whoo hoo. then i got happy and GAINED weight!...back up to 193 this past christmas...yikes! around the first part of march i started exercising again and thinking lo-carb. today at 174 it is CRUNCH TIME!!! thanks to joy, floydgirl, cocobelle and others....here i am today starting my challenge.

i have found the PERFECT wedding dress..it is STRAPLESS and fitted thru the middle...hence my hurry to drop these INCHES. i wanna feel like a princess on my big day. it's a "girl thing."

lots of you have read the "slim in 6" posts and have offered suggestions or asked for information about the workout program...some of you have said you wanna jump on this bandwagon too!

TODAY IS DAY 1....(well miss skinny-mom has a 2 day jump on me and i see, thankfully that she is still living and breathing!!) It is easy. Just post each day when you have done your workout. It is only for 6 weeks! If you want to jump in later that is great too! just tell us when you start and continue for 6 weeks!

Well i am off to plug in the DVD. Wish me luck....come along for the fun. Even if you have done this before and want to do it again, DO IT! the more the merrier!

you betcha baby!!! come along for the fun! BTW...this is my official check in for 4/28. I DID IT!

I'm here!! Yep I'm still alive, however I watched the next portion of the workout and every muscle in my body screamed UNCLE!!! LOL! Annoying, my disc came loose in shipping and is scratched. The warm it up, 6 pack and limber parts work fine, but the ramp it up catches a lot and doesn't even play the last ten minutes. I have emailed the seller and in the meantime a friend is mailing me her copy to borrow until I get to burn.

Today I made it all the way through warm it up without stopping. I think I will go one or two more days on that portion and then move on and up

And today I am not as sore as the first two days!

way to go skinny! i am WAY TOO SKEERED to watch too far ahead. i am gonna take bio's advice and do the warm up thru tues, and then move on to the 2nd disc....bummer yours got scratched!

Yes it was quite comical, me sitting on my recliner couch (in the recline position of course!) watching people exercise

[skinnymom!]

Did today! It was hard today for some reason, maybe because I had already walked for 2 hours at the amusement park. Either way I'm beat now!
