I did get a lot stronger and more toned. I have obviously since moved on to running.

If not, try some other forms of exercise and on your terms. (ie - not at o'dark thirty in the AM!)</p> I don’t know if anyone is really built for boot camp stuff.

I say keep it up for a little longer and you’ll see results. If not, try some other forms of exercise and on your terms. (ie – not at o’dark thirty in the AM!)

My body freaks out when confronted with extra strenuous exercise and so I cannot say enough wonderful things about hot yoga. The first couple times are miserable but it is totally worth it--the third class is magic. It is the only workout I have found that GIVES you energy at the end of it. You sweat out water weight at first but build long, lean, toned, dancer's muscles. And it's excellent for runners! Just make sure you stay super hydrated and fuel well. Another neat perk is that is seriously is the most challenging thing you will do all day--it makes anything else life has to throw at you seem like a piece of (well-deserved) cake.</p> Have you tried Bikram yoga?

Also depending on how much you're working out you may not actually lose much weight and may instead just lose inches. But honestly, what does weight matter if you fit in your jeans and look hot as hell?! Just keep it up, and you'll see the benefits eventually and never want to quit...ok maybe you'll still have the urge to quit from time to time.<br /><br />You're doing a great job!</p> As most everyone else has said, sometimes it takes a little time to notice the pounds falling off.
