Thanks guys. Nice to know there are other FB fans around too. I used to do some of Jillian Michael's workouts and occasionally will do still her kickbox one for a change, but sometimes I'm so not in the mood for her mouthing off while I exercise. I much prefer Kelly and Daniel's quieter approach. They push me in exactly the right way and I'm glad it works for other folks too.
As for pants - I decided to go replacement pants shopping today as too-big baggy pants look wrinkly and crap and depress me. Turns out I'm a full size down. Basically I'm back in a size I last wore around the 2005-6 mark. My lower half is where I tend to store fat the most and has always been the hardest to shift, so I'm super-happy right now.
