Thanks, I'll try that. I was doing the arms-straight-in-front-of-me and that helped a little, but once I incorporate weights that changes my stance, so it's probably not the best approach. I should stay as similar to weighted form while I do my no-weight stepups.

I'm in week 3 of TNT, and have noticed a definite difference. The things I have noticed are:

- loss of fat on my belly & hips (and breasts )
- dramatic increase in thirst (I'm drinking over 3L of water a day, and I've always been the kind of person to underhydrate, so this is definitely new)
- dramatic decrease in appetite. I used to have a lot of snacks throughout the day because I was constantly hungry. Now I just have a couple and I rarely ever feel "hungry". It's great.
