That is excellent! Congrats on your success. I didn't start using her dvds until this summer. My mom told me about her coworkers using it and how they had lost. I didn't like exercise but, now I like doing the walks with Leslie and they have motivated me to do more outdoors. I am working on my third walking challenge using her dvds.

I just started this summer and love it. So far I am feeling much more tones in my butt and abs.

I started out my weight loss jouney just walking outside, which is great. But the sweat I get on with Leslie is amazing. Who would have thunk that walking on the spot in your own home could get you trimmer!?

great job! i am always interested in how much weight people lose with leslie and how long it took them. I have been doing her dvds since September, and really haven't lost that much, but i feel better. I have lost 5 pounds.

In 2010, I used her tapes religiously for several consecutive months. I believe I had over 225 miles logged in when I got away from doing it. I too, didn't see alot of results weight wise then but I also didn't change my eating habits back then and thought I still could indulge in all the sweets and carbs I wanted. Now since signing on to MFP this week, writing down and keeping track of what I have been eating and being accountable that way, plus exercising, I hope to have better results this time around. Which brings me to a question for all of you.........I usually do the 2 miles walk where the stretchy band is used. I have a neck and jaw that really gets aggravated when I use the band for the upper body. Do any of you know how to use the band for the lower half of the body? Know of any way to use it to slim the waist, legs and butt? Any info is greatly appreciated!

I consider myself a LS Success story. A year ago I weighed 220 lbs - I was mortified when I saw myself from the side by accident and when I stepped on the scale at the Dr's office the following week and it said 220 ( I didn't even own a scale - could have cared less ).

I signed up for weight watchers online the middle of February and my sister told me about Leslie, she had been doing a Walk Away the Pounds from a videotape and had lost 20 lbs in about a year. So I bought Walk Slim 3 fast miles ( I think that was my first! I have 16 now ), learned how to change my eating habits, track everything and get those walks in!

Long story short and 37 lbs later, and now a MFP, calorie counting addict, YES, her workouts get results. Yes, my progress looks slow, but change takes time and my eating habits are 100% better than they were a year ago. This is a journey, not a race, I have heard that so many times in the past year, but it's true. I feel great and the muscles in my legs are amazing. I have since added other strength and cardio workouts to my routine but I thank Leslie everyday for motivating and inspiring me and no matter what other workout I do, I always walk 1-5 miles with her as well because I know it works.

Now if I can just loose the horrific roll in my lower stomach. :ohwell: But working on it.

Love this group and seeing what walks you are doing!

I love reading these success stories! Great work!!! Has anyone else seen results? I've just started doing her videos!

I'm like you. I love reading the success stories. It helps me to know that I can get weight loss results using Leslie's DVDs.

Since I started doing her videos, about a month ago, I've lost 8 pounds.

that's excellent!

Thanks :-D

I have read about people increasing the intensity of a Leslie Sansone workout by holding weights etc. but are Leslie workouts enough to shape my body ? Can i get to my goal with these or will I have to start doing harder more intense workouts ? Are these enough to tone and shape my body ?

I found this Leslie Sansone testimony from a Sparks member. She added another non-Leslie DVD for tone/shaping after 3 months, but she lost 60 pounds using LS as her primary cardio.
