Hey Melissa YOU CAN DO IT! Sounds like you are on the right track. Whether you think you can or think you can't, your right. It's what YOU think that will determine your success. I think I may do the Easter weigh-in also. Sounds like good motivation!!

Hey everyone. I just got the BL DVD today and right now I'm just going to try a few exercises but on March 12th I'll be starting Week 1 and all the exercises it entails. I'm going to do the six week workout plan because I know that I'll just choose easy ones if I customize it. I like it when people push me. So ya. I was just updating my new BL DVD lifestyle. I hope everyone is doing great.

BeautifulDisaster (love the name) glad you are getting started. I am about the same size you are.

Good luck as you start your workouts!

I did the BL #1 workout today. I also walked for 20 minutes and did some arm weights. I need to get to doing my BL DVD every day! I've been slacking off lately!!

Well, I rented the BL dvd from Netflix...watched it tonight and realized that it's too weight-bearing for me. Too much bending knees and jumping and doing things on your feet without support.

I need to be careful as I weigh 340 lbs and have arthritis in one knee and my ankle on that same leg is just healing from a partial rupture of my achiles tendon. I was kindda bumbed but I figure once I'm down 50lbs I will rent it again and see how it feels.

Right now I'm doing a stationary bike for cardio (best thing I've found for my knee!) and am specifically looking for a DVD that will help me with weight training. Y'all got some advice? Again, keep in mind I need it to be low-impact. Thanks!

And, keep up the good work!

I finally bought the DVD and it is kicking my butt!!! I created my own workout and combied the sculpt with the high intensity and I am feeling it!

Hopefully combining this workout and Curves will give me the edge I need to get into Onederland!!!

Good luck ladies.

I just ordered this DVD on ebay about a week ago, and it should be getting here today. I can't wait. I am trying to get in shape to run at least a 1/2 marathon this November, and really need something to help with some strength training and sculpting, aside from running/walking. I'm also doing some basic yoga for flexibility these days, and have found that my kids (boys 2, and 4 stay home with me all day) love to try and do the positions too... I really can't wait for my dvd to be here though, from reading all the posts on here, it is an awesome buttkicking workout, which is just what I need. Looking forward to telling you guys just how much it kicks mine, lol.

Hey everyone! I'm new, and this is my first post in this thread. I just started working out with the DVD today and man... I am out of shape! I had to keep stopping midway because it was too intense. Hopefully all that will fade as I get healthier. My goal is to be able to do these workouts and still have some energy left at the end of my day. My question is, when do you start to feel like it gets easier?

hzrdus7 · 03-28-2006, 04:32 PM

If you try to go thru the whole segment, even if you have to rest, I've found that I've been able to get thru the entire segment without stopping after only a few times. It still hurts, and will probably always hurt, but I can get thru it all the way. Keep it up, it won't take long!!

its_my_turn · 03-30-2006, 10:31 AM

wow, so many new faces! lol

I hope everyone is doing well! I have been so bust lately planning the wedding, then the kids getting sick, then me getting sick..

But I am doing well! I know when I step on the scale tomorrow for the final weigh in of the week I will finally have 20lbs off!!!!!!! this makes me so happy! I have to lose 17lbs more to get to pre-pregnancy weight, then I am aiming for 140! and then if I can make it to that, I will go for my final goal of 120!

how is everyone doing?

its_my_turn · 05-22-2006, 09:25 AM

where's all my girls???

I need you all back, I have hit a major plateau!!!! I haven't lost anything in about 6 weeks!
I can't believe I have lost what I have, but I seem to have just stopped...

Come Back .....

looks like i am really late in this game... i just bought the biggest loser dvd yesterday and i couldnt even get through all of the low impact!!! it's because those lunges always trip me up

but then i tried to do the boot camp and i made it halfway through... then i did 6 minutes out of the 8 minute abs video i have... LOL
feeling kind of "non-attentional" today :-/

Hello All!!

I see that no one has posted on this for a while. I just started the BL DVD workout and OMG! It is really killing me! I definitely am feeling it! I am getting ready to do my workout for today. How is everyone else doing?

Kat311 · 07-26-2006, 03:33 PM

Okay, so I JUST completed BL Workout #1. And let me just say, I am going to not be able to move tomorrow! My legs haven't burned this much since I was in marching band! I guess it's a good thing, let's just hope my butt doesn't permanently attach itself to the couch.

So I guess I will be doing it again tomorrow.

Whew! I'm beat!
