I did the "Walk Away the Pounds with Leslie Sansone" 2 mile walk!!! I know this will seem like not a big deal to many of you but for me it is HUGE!!! I am a secretary and sit all day everyday Monday through Friday, at least seven of the eight hours I work each day. I also have had alot of tradgedy in my family that has caused alot of sorrow and I have turned to food for comfort.. So I have gotten so overweight and out of shape I couldn't even walk to my mailbox anymore without breathing hard. So that is a huge victory for me when I first started the videos I could not even finish the one mile without panting and I couldn't see myself doing the two mile anytime soon but today I DID IT!!!! I was about to stroke out but I got'er done lol!! Three mile here I come!!!! :tongue:

PS. Now I want to go get on my eliptical I feel so good and proud of myself I just wanna do more!!! Never thought that would happen!!

    Sherri that is amazing. I cant walk two miles because of the excess weight on my arthritic knees. One of these days I will be taking a 'long walk' with you. Excellent NSV, you are an inspiration.

    Great job! Those videos are no joke! I tried one years ago, just for an "easy" workout, figuring it would just be some walking but it kinda kicked my butt! And I was in way better shape back then (I ran a few times a week and was slimmer than I am now), so I think this is a pretty great victory :)

    Keep it up!

    Congratulations on your first 2 mile walk. Trust me....it gets easier and easier from here on wards and you will be able to finish 5k in the near future. The first step however small.... is a big step towards getting healthier and you did it. Good luck and keep up the good work.
