    HI WALKERS! WELCOME EVERYONE! Never too late to join us! I am so excited to see so many old & new "faces"!

    I was on vacation last week enjoying my granddaughter and the 4th - my favorite holiday. I am back at it again today though, have not worked out in 4 days and was I ever ready!

    I tried my new Les - 4 Mile Power walk and hmmmm, not a huge fan of the power surges - it's jump rope and half jacks and then she does this twist jump thing that scared my knees to death - didn't go there - ha! I just can't do much high impact and that's what the power surges are in the 2 middle miles. It's ok - it also has 2 - 2 mile walks that I will try also. STILL - was great to workout and sweat and burn some cals. Have a great week everyone!

    GOAL - 40 MILES
    SO FAR - 8 MILES
    LEFT TO GO - 32 MILES

    4 miles done today = 12 alltogether :)

    Can I ask you all, do you JUST do leslie or do you mix it with other workouts? Has anyone had good results losing weight just doing Leslie? Only asking coz Ive hurt my knee!!!! Usually do other Jillian workouts but my knee was so sore when I tried Jillian yesterday. Its been ok tonight with Leslie but I didnt dare do the boosted walk!!

    Hi Kazala, I try to mix in other workouts. I used to do a lot of high intensity/high impact workouts like Turbo FIre, P90x, etc (and Jillian's - love her!) but have had knee problems on and off for many years. I always go back to Leslie when they flare up. I have now given up totally on the high impact workouts - my knees combined with my age (49) is just too much even though I love to do 'em! So for me, I try to mix up Leslie's dvds, with some outdoor walking, indoor biking, elliptical, and cardio/resistance dvds like Slim in 6 and Slim Series. For me personally, I just can't limit myself to just Leslie's dvds only...I get bored too easily and give up! That said, I am sure people have lost weight exclusively with her dvds!

    Good luck with your knee - hope it's ok!! :flowerforyou:

    I like to mix it up too even though I have 19 Leslie DVD's. I have Turbo Jam and several Jillian workouts but I think they aggravate my sciatica and my knees cannot take high impact. I have learned to modify a bit and am really trying to get some strength workouts in 2x a week. From May-October I go to water aerobics at the pool in our neighborhood. It's alot of fun - at 47, I am the "baby" of the group - ha! The ladies are well into their 60's and 70's and I hope I have half of their energy at that age.
    Take care of that knee! You don't want to hurt yourself and not be able to work out at all, I have seen that happen to several friends here. Keep walking! You will be rocking that wedding dress in no time!

    That was hilarious! :laugh: I have a fewer older ones that fit that bill also!

    3 miles today, I did Burn Body Fat & Sculpt Your Arms.
    July total = 17 miles

    Gotta do something different tomorrow though; I could feel myself losing a little enthusiasm tonight.
    Great job everyone!!!

    I'm glad I found this group!! I just started the Leslie Sansone Walk away the Pounds Ultimate Collection. It was $9 at Target this week. I've done 10 miles already this week, so hopefully I can log 40 miles this month. I do my walking after work. I wish I could do a few miles in the morning before work but my mattress holds me hostage.

    Good luck all!!!

    Hey all, 3 miles done yesterday = 15 miles so far.

    Thanks for all knee advice. It's a bit better. I realised it coincided with me running out of glucosamine supplements so I started them again yesterday. Haven't braved any jillian yet will stick to Leslie for now. Am going away to my parents for a week on Monday, am planning to introduce my mum & sister to Walking at Home too. There may be some new recruits next week :) x

    I started walking with Leslie in April of this year and MFP very recently. I would love to join in the challenge :flowerforyou: . As I recorded my miles today I noticed that it was my 100th walk with Leslie. Now that turned out to be a good day to find this group :heart: .

    I am 61 years old and my goal is to be fit and not become frail as I age. I have lost 8.8 pounds since I have started 'walking indoors' with the DVDs which includes the 2 pounds since joining MFP. I feel like I am getting stronger and my endurance is improving.

    My # of challenge miles for the rest of the month will be 25 or more miles.

    Today I did 4 miles (WATP Express 4 Mile Super Challenge).
    Thank you!

    Good Morning! Welcome new walkers and great job this week everybody!

    I don't usually work out on Sundays but had a much needed rest day on the couch yesterday. It was nice, watched movies and relaxed for a change!

    Felt stiff this morning so did 2 miles classic walk with the weight belt. Headed to the lake now for some bonus burn on the paddle boat!

    GOAL - 40 Miles
    So Far - 15 Miles
    Left to go - 25 Miles

    Have a great day and a super week!
