Let's get walking.

Hi, everyone!! 😄😄😄 my weight loss journey started in 2016 at 278 lbs 😢 I was extremely unhealthy, pre diabetic, had really bad swelling in my arms and legs & was just overall in a lot of pain. My mom has been a Leslie Sansone fan for years and gave me a copy of “Walk Off Fat Fast”. Over the course of a year & a half, I lost 120+ lbs using her dvd!! 💪🔥✨ I absolutely loveeee the workouts!! I still do them to this day, 6 out of 7 days of the week!! 😃😄 The Walk At Home DVD’s & eating a healthy diet have completely changed my life!

As for me, I’m a huge Harry Potter fan & love to read! I’m dating a wonderful man who’s a Marine and is so supportive of me! I have a very active job that keeps me on my feet which I am grateful for!! With workouts included, I average about 20,000 steps a day!! 💪💪💪😍😍😍

Sooooo grateful to have stumbled upon this group!!! 💖💕 I was hoping to find some people who enjoy Leslie’s workouts as much as me!! Wishing you all well!! 💖💫✨

I joined in 2012 and was on a roll, lost about 50lbs and since that time, I took up running, lifting, yoga, and other fun stuff. However, I also have had multiple injuries since I have a tendency to go all in on my exercise.

I am a WW member, have also been on almost every other 'diet' known to man. But in 2012, I really cleaned up my act and dumped the processed foods. With all my injuries, the weight has slowly crept back - up 30lbs and really need to reign myself in- as I just turned 55 a couple of weeks ago. I am revamping my all or nothing regime to a - let's keep moving attitude. I gave my treadmill to my bonus son this week( otherwise I am tempted to start running and my back will NOT like that!). I have a spin bike- a personal fav, but also have a few of Leslie's videos on the shelf. I will be pulling them out as soon as I'm able to wear both sneakers- in the next couple of weeks- and I am thinking I may get the green light around New Year.

I still try to do pilates and some minor things while I'm temporarily out of commission, but I my biggest issue is my eating-and sneaking- or not tracking. I love my cookies.

Hi everyone. I'm new to this group. I've been here at MFP since 2011, I think but really didn't start getting fully into weight loss until 2013. I never had any issues with weight until I had my kids and then I just couldn't get rid of it/keep it off. In 2013 I joined WW for 3 months and lost about 30 pounds. Once the 3 months was up I came back to MFP to lose the last 35 pounds that I wanted to lose. I've been here for the most part since then but have now let pounds creep back on and have rededicated myself to logging my food and my fitness routine. Over those years I have used Leslie's videos on and off and recently dusted off my DVD's and used a couple of them since the weather outside is not good for walking right now. I do enjoy getting outside though when I can and walking around my neighborhood or taking a hike in a local park. I love to ride my bike in summer and I also do a variety of other fitness video workouts and have an elliptical I use on occasion but I find that to be pretty boring so it is hard for me to stick with. Looking forward to getting to know the group.

Hi everybody! Nice to meet you all!

I'm an expert on every possible diet. I had tried them all. Every diet brought my weight down and every diet was successful, but I could not maintain it. About 10 -12 years ago I had lost 70 lbs, but I didn't exercise and at that time I learned about Leslie even though I didn't use her walking at-home techniques. I knew everything, but I was too lazy to exercise.

By December of 2018, I ballooned to my heaviest of 213 lbs. at the mighty 4'11". I could not turn in bed. I struggled with that and after the new 2019 year, I joined the Y.

I started to lap swim for 3 x a week. I found out that the only exercise I like is swimming. In the be beginning I could not swim more than 5 min at the time, but by February of this year I was doing 1-hour lap swimming and 45-min of light water aerobics 3 x a week. A had lost 50 lbs by February. On days that I didn't swim, I started to do 40 min of circuit training. I was a happy camper, but suddenly this damn corona and everything is closed. Thus, I remembered my old Leslie's videos. Mind you, I'm still lazy, but I'm doing it because watching TV 24-7 is not my cup of tea. I had put back about 5 lbs, but with Leslie and some perseverance I'll take them down. I hope.

I turned 70 y.o. in the past month and I absolutely hate to be cooped up and I miss my pool.
But, I'll make it. We all Make it. Good luck to everybody and stay healthy!!!

Hi everyone! I’ve been walking with Leslie since VHS days . No matter what else I try, I always end up coming back because of the simplicity of the moves and her positive attitude. I find you can ramp up the intensity quite a bit by adding hand weights and making the moves bigger. I’m glad to find this group on here? Is it ok if I drop into the April challenge?
