I really think I am just gonna order it : ) I have wasted money on WAYYYYYY worse things than an attempt to help my health.  

I use leslie Sansome 

I just thought maybe someone on here might have tried that one ! 

I do Turbo Jam videos at home when I can't make it to the gym or my kid is out of the house, I love them. Any video you get could be effective as long as you put the effort into it! Good luck! 

Thanks for the buddy invite! And so true, Chrys! I do home workout vids a lot. If you have comcast on demand, there are a bunch up there. Also, youtube, vimeo, putlocker and other sites have some you can do. There are a slew of them available online, but in the end, if you really want that one, I agree: a much better way to spend money than on other things. :D WTG on your weight loss. You're doing FABULOUS! :D 

I have Les Mills Pump, Les Mills Combat, Turbo Jam and Insanity. I must say, I love Shaun T...but Insanity was hard. I much preferred Combat and Pump. I've heard mixed reviews about T25. I really value Sara's opinions though because she's seemed to like the programs that I like as well. http://youtu.be/f18I0xa5dO8 (I'm not connected to Beachbody in any way...I just like their programs). 

I want to join Daily Burn as soon as I get a way to stream it to my TV. I can stream it to my tablet or laptop, but I really want to have it on my TV in the living room so I can exercise there. Our TV is so old it's not WIFI ready and I'll have to buy a WIFI, or a new TV might be the best thing. I've visited the website and like what I see... http://dailyburn.com/#http://dailyburn.com?s1&_suid=139111530558707244879364244506 

Thanks for the feedback everyone ... I had sooooo many videos ughhh wow 5 years ago ... I had been 250 and got divorced and motivated and dropped to 175... bought a new wardrobe ( its waiting in my closet for me to wear it again ) , felt great about me and life : ) And then I went to nursing school and that was MY LIFE , I ate bad , had no time to exercise and when I graduated ( with honors at the top of my class ) I weighed 250 and hated myself. Then I dove into working and I there is a saying that nurses eat their young. And its true , you pay your dues HARD until you get some experience under your belt and prove yourself. Soooooooo now that my life is way more stable I know its my time to fix me again and this time maintain it. I plan to go to workout classes a few days a week , but I want some for at home and the day when life is busy with the kids and that will be my workout. Thanks for the tips Rob ! And fit I will check out those reviews !  

Thanks erwin ... I am gonna check that out too . Never heard of it , but Im willing to try anything once ! LOL  

Chryssm just sent you a message about the workout!  

I saw the advertisement on TV and then visited the site. Looking forward to being able to start it soon. 

I have a couple of Jackie Warner's DVD's and I love them! Some of hers will even have "modified" exercises for those of us who need them. 

check out on youtube "John Drury" zumba videos. Free Easy to do and 3-5 min each session. I can do 4-5 right in front of the computer. 

Ohhhhhhh myyyyyy ... So after posting my last comment on this my son came home from school with T25 in his hand ( that his friends mom sent home with him to let me try out ) .... That was so intense and I could totally feel the burn and was sweating so bad it was crazzzzyyy and I have to admit I had to do the modified versions ... She only gave me the first one to try to see if I want it . And OHHHHHH I have to have it : ) I am probably gonna feel like I am cripple in the morning because I had already did an hour worjout earlier and then he handed me that and I had to do it ! WOW  

LOL! Too funny, Chrys! I wish my daughter would just bring home things that I was wishing I had... I've been trying for years now, and she has yet to come home with that Lamborghini I've been eyeing. Ugh. I need to have that talk with her, apparently. 

Ha ha Rob ! Too funny ... Actually I had made a similar post on facebook asking about t25 and my son really didnt have anything to do with it , she just sent it with him and her son ( it was my day to drive them to a school sport ) Although he did do it with me. And he said he will do it with me if I buy and I have to buy it. Like I said earlier , I have blown money on way worse things than my health. I will probably be crying in the morning cause I can feel it already, this ones gonna hurt. But hey no pain , no gain ( errrr ummm loss , right ? We arent gaining here we are losing ) !!! Good Luck getting that Lamborghini ... 

I seen previews on it, I was curious myself, but since I have p90x and insanity here I would just make myself a workout dvd hoarder haha. I have yet to try any of them. I do Have the Jillian Micheals dvds, which I need to get my butt on them already.
