I read all your success stories and I desperately want to be one of them, but I've been at it for about 6 months and can't see any visible improvement. I'm doing the exercises from SWSY 2 to 3 times a week, using 8 lb free weights and 10 lb. leg weights. I'm 56 and although not obese (5'7" and 175 lbs.), I do carry most of my weight in my thighs and legs. I would do anything to tone them. I am not contradicting your program; I just need to know if it takes more time for some people to see results. All the people I've been reading about seem to see results in just a few months.

Stubborn pounds are hard to get off. You need to combine the exercise program along with some walking or other aerobic exercises and then finally, some modifications in your diet. We know that it is very important to both increase the exercise and also decrease the intake. It is hard, but sticking with whole foods, eating plenty of vegetables, really minimizing processed foods and keeping track of portion sizes can really help. You are doing great things for your body - stick with it and it will pay off.
