My coworker told me that her grandmother used this book and maintains her size 6 with it for just 8 minutes a day. Shoot. i can do that. So I went on Amazon to find the book and got a used copy for pennies plus the 4 dollar shipping. I just finished Week 1 day one. It was 12 reps each of two exercises, 4 sets in all. Anyone else want to join me?

Heres the most recent picture of me (last week)....I hope to see a BIG difference 28 days from now by following this book. I'm hoping it will be the kick in the ass I need to get exercising!

Heheh Cool...I almost forgot to start this morning..well I DID foreget actually so I did the two exercises just a little while ago. DH was miffed for a while,..thinking I would only be exercising 8 min a day. Said NO..Im treating this like an "appetizer"...to get me wanting more.

Hope it works that way anyway.......

Awesome :) I forgot to mention that you need some small weights of your choice for some of the exercises. I'm using a pair of 5 lb weights.

ETA: I'm actually going to start this on monday( Halloween!) A cool way to kick off my 49th birthday.....Yes, I was born on Halloween but not at the stroke of midnight like my big brother had me believing until I was a teenager.

I am in!! Thank you for the info. I just ordered his audio tapes and the cookbook. I will try anything, because my body just does not want to let go of this weight and now I have gained back close to 20 lbs. of the measley 50 I did lose. It is so frustrating. It is not because I don't have good restriction, I do good with meals. But still can't let the snacks go. And I get no exercise. I go back to my Dr. next week and I am really dreading to think what he is going to say about my gain. So any motivation I can get is really appreciated.

I hear you, Colleen. The snacking is the hardest part to change isn't it? I've gotten myself a trainer, so I'm hoping that part works.

I always hate going into the doc with no loss let alone a gain (and it's happened a lot). Hold your head high and know you're doing your best and that one day we will beat the food demon.
