I had so much trouble loosing the freshman 15. It was like the weight would never go away. My roomie really helped me though, she got me the breakin it down dvds- like they teach you how to dance. At first I was like- uum, I don't think so LOL. She got them b/c she works at universal. So, I finally tried them and I really think they are working. I mean I havent lost any weight yet, but I have stuck to it b/c they are pretty fun, plus it is laurie ann gibson teaching- and we all know how she is from making the band 3 LOL. Wish me luck! Nadine
