Hey yall!! I'm pretty new to this whole MFP thing and to trying to healthy in general. Doc said I HAD to lose the weight to improve fertility so here I am. I checked out the Walk Away the Pound Express 3 miles from the Library because a) I knew I need to do some kind of exercise; b) A co-worker recommended Walk Away the Pounds and c) I wasn't ready to commit to buying the DVD b/c in the past my fitness commitment as been relatively low. Well, I am pleased to announce that today after have the DVD a little over week (not using everyday but fairly often) I have finally done the whole 3 miles without giving up! YaY!! Maybe not a big deal in comparison to some of you guys but I was really happy to actually accomplished this small goal!!! Thanks for letting me share!

I love her Dvd's..I have the 5 mile fat burning walk. It goes by so fast and you get a good workout.

I'm fairly new to MFP. I started it last month and then fell off the wagon, so to speak. I have several of Leslie's dvds and love them. I wear a heartrate monitor so I can make sure I stay in my training range. I usually do a mile or two then do some form of strength training and then back to the dvd. I also like her 5 mile where she uses a belt, band and hand weights. I don't let my heartrate go below training range during the circuit. I have had lots of different dvds but I really like hers best because I don't have to learn a lot of fancy steps. I'm no good at that.

I wear a heartrate monitor for two reasons. I like to know how hard I'm working and what my average heartrate is. Another big reason I wear one is that I had a heart attack last year and my cardiologist wants me to wear one. I have always loved to exercise but I think I'm a little scared now, even though my doctor tells me I have to. I have gained about 25 pounds since the heart attack.

I would love to have a walking buddy or buddies. If you would like to motivate each other, let me know.

I have been walking mostly with Leslie Sansone dvd's. I have walked over 100 miles since Feb.14. I have not lost a lot of weight but I have lost inches. I also picked up a book that Leslie wrote " walking away the pounds". The book has a 6 week program in it and so that's how I got started. I have not missed many days since I started in February. Now I feel guilty if I don't walk. I'm now hooked on walking . So of I can do it anyone can. Exercise was not something I enjoyed but now I love it. Happy walking everyone!
