I accidently posted this in the exercise section but I'll post it again here. I started using Leslie Sansone dvd's about a month ago and love them. I was wanting to know if anyone out there has any success stories to share to keep me motivated? How much did you lose and how long did it take you?

I LOVE Leslie Sansone...I haven't been doing her dvds like I want to--because I've been walking outside and on my treadmill & bike more. But when I have my family dance parties on the weekend, I use her moves a lot!
Thanks for bringing up this topic, I'm going to have to restart doing her videos. I can say that her videos are not too hard and not to easy and among the multitudes of exercise videos I've kept and not given away, because they are so doable and Leslie's personality is beautiful to me. Plus, she's the model size I'd love to be!
Looking forward to reading replies.2 -
I totally agree...I've read some reviews that said they don't like doing her dvds because of the size of her hips. I love her body! I want a body just like that with her nice curves. I just tried one of her new dvds and it killed me. But I loved it! I can really tell it's working.2

I love the "4 fast miles" DVD- it is great. She uses a "firm band" to build some muscle and yoga moves for streching at the end. I have had great results with this DVD- I highly reccommend it- add me as a friend if you would like.1

For my 35+ days on MFP 99.9% of my exercise has been with Leslie Sansone DVDs. I am down almost 10.5 lbs and can tell such a difference in the way my jeans fit and my torso looks. Don't think I would see as much of a difference if it wasn't for walking with Leslie.
I switch up the DVDs I use and have a few that use her toning accessories.1 -
i started with Leslie's videos about a year ago, fell off track and then got back on track and use her videos again. I like her videos because the routines are easy to follow (no complicated moves). I favorite add on is the walk belt- its really helped tone up my belly and arms. I didn't lost alot, but I have a lot more endurance and energy. It was a good place to start to work up to something more intense. I started Jillian's 30 day shred this weekend.
note: i have 3 of her videos- 1 mile, 3 miles, and 5 miles. I'm pretty sure she has some out there that are more intense, but mine are pretty low impact.-1 -

I have various Leslie Sansone dvds. LOVE THEM! I started MFP back in September and have lost 60 pounds so far! I have about 10 of her dvds because I like to switch things up. On Monday, Wed, Fri, I do the 1-mile walk in my office before I start work. Then on Tuesday, Thursday, I do a 3-mile and on Saturday I do the 4-mile. She is awesome!3

When I first started out, Leslie's were the ONLY Videos that I even sort of could keep up with. i could do at least a 20 minute one without feeling like an utter failure. Now I use the videos -- or just do the Walking from memory -- whenever I am not able to get outside, or when I have 'Down Time' at work. I also do some of her Walking on the Recovery Boards at Curves.2

Well iv been doing the walk away the pounds DVD I got from the library and I have to say i love it! But I can't say how much I lost since my scale is broken, but I can tell the difference in my legs. Maybe a little of other areas but I do love it I think I am going to have to buy some and check out the other DVDs other ppl are saying.0
-
I started using Leslie Sansone when my treadmill broke and I need exercises I could do at home. I found some on youtube and love them so much that I order her ultimate collection. These are exercises I can do when my girls are awake, which is a major plus. They even try to do them with me.0

The other thing I love about them is once you have seen them several times you can do them on your own if necessary. I went on a short vacation a while back and continued my exercises there.0

did you lose all 60 pounds with the walking DVD's and diet?0 -
I was doing her 5 mile dvd almost every night for 2-3 months and it was working wonders, but eventually it started getting a bit too easy (was trying so hard to be able to sweat, had to jog instead of walking etc) so I switched to Jillian Michaels'... And then, joined the gym2

Just bought one of her DVD'S, and will be starting tommorrow.1
-
I had success before of 30 lbs, doing those and walking outside, at the time I did the 3 mile walk. they are great and really do work.1
-
I LS! I have 3 of her DVDs. I actually lost most of my weight working out to her. Her 5 mile fat burning is my favorite!1
-
Love her DVD's... I have RA however even with pain, stiffness and fatigue and can still workout with her, it is challenging but low impact on joints!0
-
I don't exactly have a "success story", but I've been doing WATP for ~7 years off and on (more ON now!) and I love them. I did them while I was pregnant with both of my kids, which really helped me! My kids (5 & 2) love to do the 1 & 2 mile videos with me, my 2 year old ASKS me to put it on! Talk about a motivator!! I use them a lot in the winter, being in northern MN we don't/can't get outside much but her videos save the day! If it gets too easy, I add 5 pound weights...whew!!0

been doing her 5 really big miles since i know around dec of '11 5 days a week, i have a thyroid problem so its hard for me to lose weight, but i have lost 3 lbs and i dont know how many inches but i can tell the difference since i have been walking with her dvd.0

I found her videos about 8 years ago when I first moved back to Pittsburgh. I always loved walking and wanted to lose weight. At the time I was living with my friend and her family and her daughters would come in and do them with me. I have used them off and on since then. A couple of years ago, I used them to lose weight. I did even manage to lose about 20 pounds (I don't remember how long it took). SInce January I have lost over 20 pounds. But, I am not just using her dvds. I have used Jillian Michaels 30 day shred dvd and I just purchased Zumba videos. Hers is still the main one I go to. I have about 10 of her videos. They range from 15 minutes to 5 mile super walk. A friend of mine had back surgery last year and she can't do all kinds of exercises, so I gave her a couple of videos, she really likes them. Her daughters even like them.
I have been told she has a new video coming out at the end of March, I will probably purchase that one to for the variety. I have even suggested to friends on here that have trouble with exercise because of arthritis or injuries, her videos are great for people like that.0 -
Yes! I have been using Leslie'e 5 mile workout, the one with the exercise bands for over a year now. I started out doing the DVD just as she does on the DVD, now I jog and use hand and ankle weights. I burn 550-650 calories, depending on how hard I push, doing this DVD. I recommend this DVD to lots of people, so easy to follow, no difficult moves, and you use lots of different muscles. It was the key to my weight loss of 24 lbs!1

I love Leslie workouts.. I first bought a 3 video collection at a yard sale (brand new in the cases for 1 buck) & starting doing just the one mile..Well that was two months ago. That was just like a 20 miinute workout. I am up to 60-70 minutes of her & then I do some Wii tennis & boxing. I love her workouts because they are easier on my knees than the other ones.. I have about 4 of her workouts now.. I used to get short winded just going to the mail box & now from doing her workouts all the time 6-7 days a week I can walk 2 miles without getting winded at all.. I am down 24 pounds & 20.5 inches as of today.. I have Leslie to thank for that.. I love her workouts.... Between MFP & her my life is forever changed.. Good Luck..1

I love Leslie's dvd's. I have been using them for probably 10 years. I like the fast pace of Walk Slim 5 Really Big Miles, 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk and Walk Slim Fast & Firm $ really Big Miles. I think they are a great low impact way to get a good cardio workout. She also has a walk club online that has different videos each month.1
-
I loooove Leslie's workouts. I have about 6 of her videos, a few that are just walking, and a couple with strength training involved. I'm just starting to do the videos with strength training (what a burn!), but I can say that her walking tapes alone are a great work out. I am self conscious about working out in front of others so her videos are great for me (hopefully will help develop my confidence to join a gym some day). Anyone who does her work outs please feel free to add me. I'd love the company of others who do her workouts and would try to motivate in return!1

Just added you as a friend...0 -
Yes. I did some Wii Just Dance here and there, but mostly the DVDs.0

I'll have to wipe the dust off my old Leslie tapes, and start them again.
As far as walking goes...it is my favorite exercise. I am at 4-5 miles a day right now. I'm gonna keep at that pace for a few more weeks. When Spring finally gets here, I'll take it outside, and concentrate on my speed rather than distance.
I dropped 60 pounds a few years back by just altering my diet and walking. I'm older now, and it's not coming off as easily, but I'll get there.1
