Hi just joined today, having just bought a rebounder and DVD, did 60mins and broke a sweat, it was absolutely great, but when trying to work out the calories burnt well I just don't know, using SparkPeople it came to 170 calories, I burn more than this walking, but anyway I think I have found a really great way to work…

Just completed my first week, and was disappointed when I weighed myself this morning after a DD yesterday, to see I haven't lost any weight at all, I did keep within my normal calories on my UPs well usual just below them as I try not to eat my exercise calories. Will wait and see next week as the book does say it can…

Hi I have just bought a new Leslie DVD today the Mix & Match Walk Blasters and I can't wait to try it out later today, has anyone else done it and if so how did you find it, I love Leslie and wish I could get hold of more of her DVDs.:laugh:

I have just started after having been on Weight Watchers for 3 1/2 years been at goal for over 2 1/2yrs having lost 106lbs, but would like to lose a few extra pounds and would also like to have a few treats which I haven't been able to do with WW, I am on 1200 calories with MFP just to maintain and it was begin to wear me…

Second down day completed, and I feel great, was a bit hungry earlier in the day, but was fine early evening and night, didn't feel the need to rush to have my breakfast this morning either.

I did my first down day yesterday and was surprised how I managed, I am not someone who can do without food, I get the shakes if I don't eat my 3 meals a day, but I did it and it was great, I woke up this morning and I didn't feel hungry at all, so I am sure I will be able to continue.:laugh:

I joined weight watcher in Nov 2011 and lost 105lbs in 11 mths, I have kept the weight off and am just under my gaol weight, but I still attend meetings and still do the pro-points as well as MFP, I exercise most days, although having a little break at the moment other than walking every day. I can honestly say that I love…

Hi yes I use a food scale it even comes on holiday with me, must to my families disgust. I am on weight watchers so i track my food daily on there. I get scared to try any new food either, and I treat myself once a week to a weight watchers treat only, must say I am dying to have a ice-cream, but even if I just look at one…

I lost 107lbs 2 1/2yrs ago, and have managed to maintain the loss with exercise, but since January I have put on 5lbs and I am eating 1200 calories a day which is what MFP recommended and I am now exercising twice a day to try and get rid of the 5lbs, I do cardio in the mornings and then either weights or yoga in the…

Thanks everyone for all your replies, looks like I will be buying more dvds, to add to my ever growing pile, but the more the merrier :wink: can't wait to get stuck in.

Hi everyone, am really enjoying my walking with Leslie, having had a break for awhile am just doing 3miles for 4 days and 4 miles on the fifth day, with 2 miles jog in the late afternoons. What I would like to know I have lots of Leslie's dvds, but haven't bought anything new for awhile now, is there anything new with a…

Hi I have been doing Leslie's dvds for a few years now, and I love them, every now and again I do something else, but I always come back to Leslie. At the moment I am doing 3 miles for 4 days and 4 miles one day, with a half an hour jog/walk in the afternoons, just to try and sift my holiday 4lb gain. I love her energy and…

Hi many thanks for your reply

hi tcat I am 53 and I lost 106lbs in 11 mths 3 weeks with weight watchers that was nearly 2 1/2yrs ago, so it really can be done at our ages, it is hard work especial maintaining, but it is also really rewarding, and I love clothes shopping now, I used to cry when I went to try and buy something to fit me, now I love…

Hi I am 53 and lost 106lbs 2yrs ago, but the only exercise I was doing was aerobic, so as you can imagine, although I lost the weight, I am not toned at all, and am very unhappy with my appearance, just a smaller version of my fat self. After reading loads of messages and trolling through the internet, I have now learnt…

Hi thanks for your reply, just had a look at the link and unfortunately not much action on any of the kettlebell groups.

HI happy New Year. My question is does anyone use Kettlebells and if so how many calories can you burn in an hour, I have heard that 1200 can be burnt, but then that is by the promoters of the product.

Hi Happy New Year and good luck to you all for the coming year. My question is does anyone do kettlebell exercises and also how to count calories for doing an hour. Many thanks

Hi not sure which group to post this to, but I am about to start kettlebell exercise, but I can't find it on this site, to see how many calories 60mins will use?? many thanks

I have lost over 100lbs over 2yrs ago and I still hate trying to maintain, I never allow myself a cheat day as when I tried that I put on 3lbs, I just don't seem to be able to increase my calories or to allow the occasional treat, without suffering for it, would love to have a day off once and awhile. I walk twice a day…

I have just complete a 5 mile Leslie walk after 2mths of being unable to do any exercise, and I feel great, so wonderful to be able to walk with Leslie again, hope to maintain this most days.:happy:

Hi I love Leslie's dvds I have loads, but it is not easy to get the newest ones that run on my dvd player in the UK, I am really interested in get this dvd as it sounds really challenging, and I need this. I have been doing indoor walking for over 4yrs now and have lost 106lbs on weight watchers and of course the walking.…

Hi I have lost 106 lbs and am 53, that was 2yrs ago and am now maintaining, but I have extra skin on my stomach, arms, legs and most especial my neck, I am so disheartened as I was so looking forward to being able to wear a swimming costume again, but where as I wouldn't when I was fat, I can't now because of the skin…

I lost 106 lbs two years ago and have been really struggling to maintain, I still track everyday and count calories, if I go just a few over my daily allowance I pick up weight. I haven't allowed myself a treat once as I am so scared to pick up weight, I was exercising twice a day and still some weeks put on weight, which…

I have nothing to help, but I am also struggling to lose around the stomach area, and was hoping for some help as well. I have lost 106lb and have kept it off for the last 2yrs, I was doing exercise twice a day, things like Leslie Sansone's dvds, zumba, and other aerobic exercise, these I did in the morning, and then in…
