Thanks!

I actually figured it would be the very last thing to go-so I am assuming the weight lifting was instrumental.

You mentioned you are doing some weight and resistance training, do you have any exercises you feel work best for you?

I do a lower body weight regime that combine both nautalis type machines and free weights. I usually do 4 sets of leg press, hamstring, inner and outer thigh and also include either some squats or one leg lifts. If you don't want to get a gym membership, I have found that The Firm workouts give a really good weight plus cardio workout. They are tough, you really have to work your way up to doing the whole tape.

There is also a good magazine-Muscle and Fitness Hers that I use to get new exercises. You can usually pick that up at the grocery store.
