Swiss ball crunch... harder?

What do you ladies use to make this exercise a little harder? I find that I can go 50+ reps doing the conventional way, with my hands under my head. I tried using a 10 lb weight on my chest but still find it doesn't provide enough resistance. I'd rather do less reps with more resistance and feel like I'm actually doing some work.

Thanks for your input!

    I use 45# weights. The ones they load onto the bar. HTH

    I hold a 10# plate behind my head. I've also seen someone holding a plate but with arms out straight behind them.
