Has anyone used these? Thoughts?
I am so, incredibly unhappy with the way I look right now. I had great results with the 30DS but I messed up my knee doing it and it still hasn't fully healed. I'm looking for something low impact that will give me results. An acquaintance is a Beachbody coach and recommended the PiYo. I know she has a motive though so I wanted to get some unbiased opinions!

@Ra: I haven't, but wanted to bump for you. (And I totally hear you. I catch myself looking at old photographs thinking, "I thought I was fat?!?" Ugh.) After E, I had a lot of success with Fitbit and logging my food.

A friend of mine is doing this, and has lost 19 lbs since the beginning of the year!

I was doing it during the summer and stopped a few weeks into my pregnancy because I was tired and nauseous. Chalene is fun and motivating and the workouts feel quick but still challenging. You should YouTube Piyo and try a workout before committing to buying the DVDs. The workouts on YouTube aren't the exact ones on the DVDs, but they will give you an idea of what to expect.

I personally haven't tried piyo or the DVDs, but I do pilates and I would highly suggest trying some group classes (if you have time that is). It's hard to get the full benefit if the exercises without having someone to check your form. It's also easy to get hurt.
That being said, I lost over 30 pounds a few years ago by combing pilates, a little cardio, and calorie counting.

Thanks ladies, I went ahead and bought them!
@macintosh: I did Mommy & Me Pilates for a few months when B was an infant and really enjoyed it.

@Ra: awesome, then you're probably fine! Mommy and me pilates sounds like so much fun.
I wish I had the discipline to work out at home.I have the whole mat routine memorized, but I just can't make myself do it unless I'm in a class.

@macintosh: I did a Pilates group class when I was a post-grad, and omg, I'd never been in better shape. So hard, but so awesome!
@Ra: Ooo! Let us know how it is. I looked them up and I'm intrigued.

@Ra: How did you like the DVDs? I'm thinking about purchasing them as well, they look semi-fun and short!
