hi. i'm 5'4" also, but i'm 132lbs...trying to get to 115lbs. exercise doesn't have to be a bore...try swimming, basketball, tennis, soccer, etc...or if you are interested in doing exercise videos i recommend taebo, walk away the lbs, pilates, or maybe try a dancing video like darrins dance grooves or something. and if you eat pizza...blot up the extra grease with a napkin or paper towel.

Yeah, I know your problem. I am trying to get more toned, and don't have time either. Try simple things, like using stairs in stead of the elevator, and park farther away from a store so you have to walk a bit farther.
Also, when you have one spare minute, and stairs in your home, just walk up and down them once. It takes a really short time, and after a while it will get easier and you can do it faster. Then, bump it up to two times.

this sounds kind of decieving but split you workout into 1/3 and 2/3's. spend the one third of the time with her- maybe you guys could do weight lifting or something or just deal with the running till she gets better. use the other 2/3's to exersize by yourself and don't tell her. good luck!

Chellie, The firm only costs like 15 bucks for just one video. they try to sell you the stair step, and bar and other stuff. I have a video and i just use a chair, stool, and a broomstick. Is Jay's book good? what does he suggest? -Emily

i used the 30 min. live tape. the advanced tape and the other regular 30 minute workout and more tapes. i've lost 18 pounds in 4 months but i would and could have lost more if i was more consistant with it. i could feel myself becoming more fit before and visable results but i've lost quite a few inches and i'm much stronger. my arms look great and my thighs have slimmed down- some with my waist. the only thing that's annoying is my lower stomach- but it'll dissappear oon enough i suppose. i've been a lot more consistant lately and am getting better results so tae-bo definately rocks! oh and i love the taebo two 8 min. workout also because if you don't have much tme it really gets your heart rate up- i want the rest of the taebo two series...oh and taebo abs and glutes is great also but you have to do it slower then they do it untill you know you won't hurt yourself. good luck!

That is definitely possible! I really suggest that you buy some of THE FIRM tapes. They work so great. I have lost 24 pounds in a month and a half. I am soooo excited and I want to recommend these tapes to absolutely everyone who ever wanted to lose weight without dieting.
