I know that vicious cycle!! I've done it many times myself:-)

I really think that the stopping smoking is going to help more than anything. Yes, it has to get better before summer because it gets REALLY hot here!!

well, i'm a big fan of you kicking that habit *^_^* i hope you get some relief soon *^_^*

Me too............and thank you so much for your support!

I tried this last night and can I just say that I LOVE it???? I own many DVDs and this is the first one that I like from the get-go. It is upbeat and fun. I feel like I'm dancing, not working out. My husband and kids worked out with me, too. We worked up a really good sweat! Shaun T is a little too cheesy at times but still, this is a really good dvd overall.

Thank you, Nabi, for recommending it!!

SUPER! thanks for the review, sparky! now i definitely have to order it b/c DH needs to work up a good sweat, too.

um.... how are the moves? would they be easy for the dancing-challenged?

I'm seriously dancing-challenged.......................

yay! i'm so glad you are enjoying it! i think that the moves are fairly simple as long as you do the "secret to flat abs" portion first so that you can learn where you're targeting and what you're supposed to be doing. (i told you shaun t gets a little annoying - haha - what do you think about his intro? *^_^*)

which workout did you try last night?

me too, deb, me too i bought jorge del busto's sexy tango caliente and it was way too technical for me. plus, i kept standing there at the instructor LOL didn't work up a sweat like i should have.

haha, bling *^_^* i don't want my husband watching the hip hop abs (unless he DOES the workout with me) because some of those ladies are really hot and half naked and i've gained about 18 pounds in all the wrong places haha

Too funny Bling. That sounds like what I would be doing!!

I'm with you nabi!!! I've gained about 20 pounds so the last thing I want that man doing is looking at 20 year old hotties that are half dressed
