I haven't really had a weight issue since I was a teenager. At 17 I was probably
10-15 pounds overweight and wearing size 10's (and on my way to the next
size up if I recall correctly). I joined the army right after high school and

I haven't really had a weight issue since I was a teenager. At 17 I was probably
10-15 pounds overweight and wearing size 10's (and on my way to the next
size up if I recall correctly). I joined the army right after high school and
naturally lost almost all my fat and trimmed down very nicely. (thanks to all
the running, situps and pushups we had to do) When I returned home I was
able to maintain my size 8 (I prefer looser clothing). I got sick with mono for
nearly 8 months, in which time I basically cut my size in half. I was down to a
size 4 and getting close to a size 2 before I finally recovered and could eat
more than half a salad a day. I'm 5'9", so trust me when I say that a women
my height looks very scary when she's wearing sizes 2-4. Amazingly it took
me a good 2 years to put all the weight I'd lost back on and to be a
comfortable size 6-8.

My company relocated to Ohio last summer and I decided to move along with
it, and that is when I started to gain weight. Being from California, I wasn't
used to the extremely cold temperatures and snow during the winter season,
and being a huge wimp when it comes to being cold, I didn't go outside much
except to let the dogs out and go to my car. I probably gained 10 pounds
during the winter and because I prefer looser clothing I bought a couple of
jeans in size 10.

I work the second shift until midnight and one night/morning I came home
and flipped on the TV while I was getting ready to go to bed. The hip hop abs
informercial came on and I watched it and thought, hey this is a pretty cool
idea for exercise. I can't dance to save my life, but I do know that dancing is
great exercise and that you can really work up a sweat. I wasn't too crazy
about the price of the DVD's--it seemed to be a little extravagant for exercise
videos. But I figured if these DVD's can help me to lose inches in my waistline
and all over and I don't get bored with it and it teaches me how to dance.....it
was worth the try. Plus I liked the fact that I could return it and get my money
back if it didn't work for me.

I really like these DVD's! They're not too long, although the Total Body Burn is
about 40 minutes, and although they are challenging on the muscles, they're
not impossible for the average person to do. I'm hoping that between these
DVD's, running during my breaktime and walking the dogs that I'll get in
pretty good shape fairly shortly.
