I lost 40lbs, and had a lot of fun doing it by kickboxing with the Billy Blank's "Billy's Bootcamp" series. It was initially supposed to come with strength bands, but they were backordered in the warehouse, so I received weighted balls. My strength bands did come a few weeks later, so it was nice to have the bonus of either for workouts.
The DVDs I received were: AB Bootcamp, Ultimate Bootcamp, Basic Training Bootcamp, and Cardio Bootcamp Live.
There's a guide that comes w/the program, telling you what tapes to start with, or how to follow the program, but I just went at my own pace, and switched them up as I saw fit.
Two of the tapes are approximately an hour, and the AB Bootcamp & Cardio Bootcamp are at just about 30 minutes.
The best thing I did in conjunction with using these tapes, was making adjustments to my diet. I stopped eating cheese, and only ate junk food on my once a week cheat day. Once I did that, the weight flew off. I had become really sedentary, and had blown up to a size 16/18--up from a 14, which isn't exactly tiny, BUT...much bigger than I'd ever been.
By following the kickboxing routine 4 days a week, watching my portions, and making minor adjustments to my lifestyle (walk instead of drive, stairs instead of elevator, etc.) I was able to go from a size 16/18 to a size 10.
For a visual--I'm 5'10, with a very small top frame, and larger lower half.

i dont know if it is out on dvd but i use a video called Callenetics and it is the best work out ever - you start to see the difference within a couple of sessions and you dont break out into a sweat - which is also great - but be prepared to hurt the day after your first session but hey no pain no gain!!! (or loss in our instance!!)
