    It's possible that Sweating to the Oldies, Shimmy Into Shape, and 60's Blast Off are no longer in tune with the needs and/or desires of today's weight loss community. Especially when it seems that almost everyone has an iPod at the gym, people want to workout to their choice of music. I know that my friends and I would jump off a bridge before listening to Disco Sweat.

    Also with the surge of pilates, yoga, spinning, and boot camp classes, Richard Simmons seems to be lost in antiquity.

    I'm not sure about Susan Powter, since she was popular when I was in the third grade.

    Times have just changed I guess.

    Susan is still a freak! I saw her on something in recent months!
    Oh, I know what it was, that show with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. She was a motivated speaker for the fat camp they had on the show!

    Yeah I've seen Susan on something recently too but I can't think of what it was. She is crazy looking with some really wild hair. My DH didn't even recognize it was her until I told him. So it may that you've seen her and not recognized her. As far as Richard Simmons I seen him on the Today show every once in a while so I think there are some people still into him. He does weight loss cruises and he even has a website (not that I already knew this I just done a search on him :laugh: )I know my mom still likes using his videos but she is older and not into going to the gym. You have to give him one thing he sure doesn't look his age.

    I've had this unreasonable fear of Richard Simmons since I was little...

    He's just creepy, man. :sad:
