    LOL Love it! When I started out all I had was the Richard Simmons tapes and exercised by them, I haven't in a long time because I started using Leslie Sansone's walking dvd's. I must say that Richard Simmons tapes were fun and has a lot of the same exercise moves as others I am currently using, also LOVE the fact he has people of ALL sizes in his videos. Congratulations on the tremendous weight loss!

    Wow! that's so inspiring...I'm presently trying to do Zumba. I've only got through a couple of songs and not very gracefully either! Just started this process of losing so all your input is great to read. Keep going so I can keep going...thanks.

    I love that about Simmons too. I don't think I've ever seen other videos with people from all sizes besides his. It definitely is motivating when you see someone who looks like you putting in the work because if they can do it, so can you!

    Congratulations Op on your weight loss :)

    I've heard that Richard Simmons is a genuinely kind person, and I know that a lot of celebrities aren't so that's pretty cool. If he meets someone who's trying to lose weight who recognizes him he'll stop and talk and give that person words of encouragement. Very awesome guy.

    I remember doing Richard Simmons videos with my husband when he was trying to lose weight about a decade ago...even now, when one of the songs comes on the radio, I find myself unconciously doing the moves!

    Great Job!

    I had almost forgotten about Richard Simmons, until our local airline made this safety video a couple of years ago

    I love that man! When i was younger, my grandmother owned all his workouts, and I did it with her for support. and, darn it, they were fun!
    It's awesome that he has all body shapes and sizes dancing with him, and at the most intense part of the workout, he always looks directly at the camera and says "Don't quit" or something along those lines.
    You have done a fantastic job! Kudos to you! :wink:

    I'd never heard of him till the other day (I don't think he made it to the UK) I saw this program about him what an amazing Guy he may not be everyone's cup of tea but he sure knows how to motivate people.

    I love Richard Simmons, I still have the routine to "breaking up is hard to do" and "everyone knows it's wendy" memorized. I love him. I had the Take a Walk tape for a long time until it broke - yes an old cassette tape. They don't make it anymore, it was great. I wish he knew how much he has influenced my life since I was a little girl. He is love personified, at least in my mind.
