    I have the Richard Simmons Tape, Sweating to the Oldies.
    Watching my Calorie Goal and doing the Tapes
    I have lost 43 pounds.
    Glad we have something in common, some people told me they cannot stand him.
    Well I certainly can stand him if I lose the weight.

    I have a few Richard Simmons videos but haven't cracked them out in a few years. They were fun but I always found myself a little too uncoordinated and I'd get frustrated. I will have to try them again.

    Every year, my manager sponsors a team Halloween costume contest. This past year, my team talked our one guy (who was morbidly obese 7 years ago, but now runs half marathons. He fainted after his second marathon so his wife won't let him run those anymore - he is one of my weight loss heroes) into dressing up as Richard and the rest of us dressed in our work out clothes and we played Sweatin to the Oldies. A couple of the ladies made signs that said, "We love you, Richard!" and "Richard, you're my hero!" We won the contest. LOL!


    OP - I am proud of you!!!! Keep it up!

    My local public library carries some of his DVDs and many others, so that might be a good place to check. Plus, it's nice to be able to try out different fitness DVDs and find one I like before buying. :smile:

    I did Richard Simmons tapes when I was a kid in the 80s. A workout is a workout and if it motivates you and you lost 112 lbs. AWESOME! I personally prefer other workout videos.

    My g/fl had those tapes. And I lost 90 lbs doing them. One morning we did him, then the next day was Billy Bank?? Taebo. Were great workouts. I have it on vcr tapes, but no vcr :). Will have to find a dvd of him.
