I am so proud for you! Welcome to the family and the fold! I for one am really glad you didnt give up and you gave it a shot. I just love this program so much I want it for everybody! I know what you mean about the hubby- I just ordered him his own transformer. Happy birthday honey- ha ha ! Listen, we have a great thing goin here and are just really proud to have you on board. I am so excited for you!!!! Girl, I have lupus and have had to learn to walk again, so there is no shame in following cat. I cant tell you how proud I am to be able to move up to the regular workout on some of the exercises. But dont let hanging with cat discourage you. And remember if its too hard for your knees, or in my case, the ankles, drop down hold a plank the entire minute. you can even alternate lifting your arms and legs for more of a challenge. You work out your core, continue to beneefit, and dont risk injury. STAY AWAY FROM THE ONE LEGGED DEATH MARCH! just do another one of the exercises or march in place like cat. I started 34 days ago. I am down 20 pounds and 3 inches off the waist and hips. one inch off the thighs and arms and am on a roll. I hope we can put whats said behind us and be friends. I need all the encouragement I can get, and am everyones number one cheerleader when you need it too- like I said, its great to see you back!

Dont take it personal but when you come on here and make an excuse people are going to judge you by your actions and the words you type. That is just how we are. I am glad you didnt make an excuse and you got what you wanted. I bought the deluxe because I knew eventually I would use it and wanted to go ahead and not worry with ordering more later. I am starting tomorrow and cant wait!! Good luck to you!

I am pleased to say I went ahead and ordered the entire program because I need it and want it. I just completed day 13 and look forward to each and every work out. Now my husband uses it and we fight over who goes first. It is a struggle since I have so far to go but I am determined and willing. I have to hang with Cat on most but have actually advanced a bit. I am going to have to repeat week 2 instead of doing week 3 and adding the second mission specialist. In place of this I am adding the treadmill back in. I'm still babying an injured knee and am putting in 150% but in a safe way. I actually love the soreness and focus. Thanks Barry for such an awesome program ANYONE CAN FOLLOW. It is great how the DVDs are set up where all levels are in one session and the mission specialist workouts are right there! Thanks guys for the help ...

If I made the same excuse you did about the people on the phone I would have never enjoyed this first week of work out. My theroy was I was not going to buy anything else but the basics and that is excatly what I did! You son't go to the car lot and buy a car without a salesman trying to sale you more. Heck you usually don't go anywhere without someone trying to sell you more. Just remeber they are only doing their job and it is up to us to say NO! And as for all the comments saying that you are procrastinating well it sounds like you just need to jump in and see where the basics take you and then give us your opinon. Remeber do it for at least 30 days to get the best opinion. That's what I plan on diong.

I didn't upgrade. I went from the green band (#1) to the black (#3) instead. You could do that.

LOL djblackvelvet! Great way to word it! I got the basic and I just ordered mt orange ban. I'm a level 2! So it's different for everyone.

I am sorry if it offends you, but I stick by what I said. You can do this without the horns and whistles and get the upgrades later. If you want to do this you can. I dont know about you, but I aint here for some hand holding- it aint called bootcamp for nothing.

Even though I have been working out for years, I got the upgrade and have found it is too tough for me! You can go with the basic package, it'll be good a long while.

I have tons of self worth and don't need you to tell me how I feel. I just felt lied to and deceived. With proper diet and my current exercise program I have already lost weight and size. This was for muscle tone. So fries and fast food aren't my issue it is all health related. I'm not in it to look hot, especially for someone else. I'm in it for health and will continue. Be careful not to judge and sound so hateful to people you don't know. You never know the path that led them there and how we are all connected. Whether we know each other or not, we are all in the struggle together. I hope somehow you can find it in your heart to either be supportive of the next person's struggle or just sit silent if support escapes you. I pray you have those that help you though as I do. I have beat medical odds, cancer and tragedy and come out on top. I'll see you on the beach someday. I'll be the older chick, looking a big rugged but healthy and glad I am alive. Best wishes and good luck to you djblackvelvet ...

Sorry but I agree with djblackvelvet! It's like you are looking for something to be wrong with this! Why did you even call it in? Who does that when you have the internet at your finger tips? And if you just get the $75 package you are one saving hundreds, and 2 you can buy the bands for like $10 each later! But I guess that would mean one less trip the a fast food joint this week! Oh wait if you buy the DVD's you DON'T need that burger and fries because you get FREE access to VIP fat burning tips, and they will show you how to eat with out it!

those people on the phones are sometimes annoying, but are just doing their job (selling upgrades). when i call those kinds of places i am very firm with them that NO! i just want blah, blah, blah...I also got the upgrade cuz i thought i would be using them right away, but no way, i haven't even attempted the leg bands, booty dvd, etc. you will be fine without the upgrade, just doing the basic will be fine for quite awhile (beg to advanced with the mission specialists) and you can upgrade later.

Why dont you get the program at its basic and quit procrastinating? You dont need the upgrades and accessories to start thats for sure. I got them, but after my first three days, I know it will be some time before I can physically do this with the horns and whistles. It sounds to me like you just made an excuse to stay fat and lazy. I feel sorry for you that your self-worth is so low, that you would cop out with such a lame excuse. Money is tight everywhere honey. If you think you are worth it- you will find a way- I will think of you when I look good in my bathing suit next summer.
