When Do You Decide Enough is Enough?

Do you need a code for 30% off? I bought the flare and if I like them I may buy the straight leg. I don't think that the lack of pockets will be an issue for me. Once I get them I'll post my thoughts on the other thread. I haven't seen the blazer yet. If I keep the pants I'll definitely check it out.

VF has exposed me to so many methods & instructors, I now have enough material to choose from.

Even tho, I am a happy camper, I always check out new instructors & methods mentioned on here in case they fit my "exercise philosophy". I guess I'm pretty picky, because not many do. But on the bright side - it sure saves me $

This describes where I am to a T. I haven't bought any new DVDs since January 2015, and then I bought one set (Sleek Technique) after a good purge. When I feel the need to do something different, I go to youtube and do a search for whatever I'm craving and it usually comes up with something that hits the spot.

I tend to go through periods where I am satisfied with what I have (and am always actively reading VF...I come here every day), then I have periods where I want to buy. I am in a period where I want to buy now, so many sets I want, but I feel like in the long run, it is a fantastic investment in health. I like variety and the new things keep me interested and excited about being fit and working out. I have my eye on Cize (I love to dance) and Sweatlab series and am considering Ripped with HIIT as well and would like to check out PiYo, too. I also just got ICE and some rebounder workouts that I have barely tried. I think I'll take my time acquiring as I can't do everything at once! I also don't have the newest Tracie Long videos either. Big list!

These look so cool but way beyond my budget. I wish I could afford them

I have gone through periods of jumping on every new fitness fad and bandwagon. I had an epiphany of sorts last year and acknowledged my limitations and what makes me feel good. I still buy, but primarily downloads and streaming if I can get in on a really good sale. And I love YouTube. I am purging my DVD collection as I am convinced they will be obsolete sooner than later.

Enough is enough is the point I have reached, and I don't intend to spend anything on DVDs until December 2016, if then. All the R&D I have done on my own body ove rthe past 8 years have given me enough indicators as to what I can actually do vs what I would ideally like to do -- unfortunately. I have narrowed things down to focus on a few and that's going to be it. So this should be a very good year for my budget.

I was just thinking this last night. I keep looking for the "next best thing" that's going to help me lose the weight. I don't think I give my rotations time to even work.

How long are you giving them, out of curiosity?
I followed the same plan for over 9 months without a break and it made a huge difference. I lost stubborn weight (and yes food plays into that but when you see physical results it can become easier to stick to the plan with food). I think about 5 weeks in was when I actuallySAW a change in my mirror and photos. It seems lots of rotations don't even last 5 weeks!
I know everyone wants to do the next thing and the best thing (me included) but there's a benefit to sticking with something over time, in my experience.

Lately it's been 4 weeks. I know that's not long enough, but I'm trying to decide - 6 weeks? 12 weeks? etc.... I just have workout ADD these days and I know I need to stop!

That!
I was spending a fortune on stuff I ended up not liking. Now I know what I like and purchase based on that. Hammer & Chisel was not on my radar but I love Sagi. Not so much Autumn. She was the reason I wasn't going to order but the reviews pushed me over the edge. I so trust the opinions on this board so I ordered last night I still order anything Cathe. That's a given always.
