The rule of thumb has always been to give a program at least 6 weeks, sometimes longer. The best thing you can do for yourself is have patience. I say try this approach first. If you are still struggling, then I highly suggest hiring a personal trainer to work with you. He/she will be able to truly asset your goals, plus your physical limitations. Anyone here trying to offer advice to you or anyone else that we have never met or seen in real life is really at a huge disadvantage in helping any VFer who is really struggling and desperately wants help. I wish you the best. I know you've been struggling for a long time and hopefully things will start changing for the positive.

The thing I love about this rotation so far is that it gives me so much flexibility to fit in whatever DVD I want to do that meets the criteria they set out for the day. This morning, I did Walk Your Way Slim, a workout I haven't done for awhile and really enjoyed it. Yet, within that flexibility, I am making cardio endurance and strength gains because I am following the intention for each workout.

I have been trying to lose weight and regain fitness and some VFers gave me great advice about taking care of myself after/during a rough time. I have been doing what I love and sleeping more and taking care of myself. These things first have helped me immensely.

Lorajc-I don't have any further advice. I just wanted to send some hugs to you since it sounds like you could use them
I hope you can figure out what works for you- Sherry
