I was wondering the same thing??! Are you still planning on doing a 2nd round of the program? I am so similar to you. I had my 2nd baby 10 months ago on Feb. 4th and my first just turned 11 years old on Jan. 30th! I have to say that it is SOOO hard for me to lose weight 10 years after my first pregnancy. I am 30 years old and am also only 5" 1" tall. My normal before kids was 105 (although, 10 years later, I was about 115 at the time of my 2nd pregnancy-I am about 125 right now and have not been able to get below 120 at all! And, I am "chubby"-to say it nicely and def. need to tone up big time) and I would LOVE to get to 105 again (although, it's more about what I look like then the weight in the end-that's just my goal for now, that may change as my body hopefully does!)!! I started the firm express last Thursday and I didn't do the 4-day kick start either. I know it is set up to start on Mon., but my workouts were on Thurs, Sat., and Mon. (today). I didn't change my diet or do any measurements, so I was thinking about "starting over" too. I want to do the 4-day kick start and atleast some what of a diet and actually do measurements. I have never been a hard core exerciser or anything, but have always done dvd's at home and have had no problems staying a good size (just doing that), but I have hardly done anything in a while and esp. since being preg. and having my 10 month old. I hope to hear from you, even if you haven't started again yet. You have support!! I know I usually don't stick to anything either. I usually do it the first week and then that's it! That's why I am where I am though! lol Please let us know (either way)!! :) Hi. I was wondering the same thing??! Are you still planning on doing a 2nd round of the program? I am so similar to you.

You're the ONLY one i've found who is experimenting WITHOUT adding anything to the workouts! I read so many blogs where they keep adding more to the routines, and then lament it's not working! I don't think you are suppose to "add" anything! BTW, at least you had a reason for your weight gain, your precious baby - me? I gained weight from just emotional overeating! I am starting Feb 1st on my weight loss, and i have about 35 kilos - yup kilos, not pounds - to lose! Sigh! So, it'll be great to keep up with your second experiment. Congratss on your first segment of weight loss - i lost 22 pounds first, and then put it all back cos i had something hard to deal with and turned to food! This time i promised myself i am losing the weight forever! All the best! Keep us informed! When will you be doing this second experiment?
