Miracle Miles
I REALLY want to get this set although at $49(only at Leslie's website) it's pretty pricey. Too rich for my blood right now. On Facebook Leslie and her team are giving away MM kits every Wed from 9-23 to 12-9. All you have to do is write something in the comments about "Why I Walk." I'm SO EXCITED about the possibility of…

If I Could Ask Leslie Anything...
If I could ask Leslie anything, first thing would be to thank her profusely for the WAH program and tell her my story. Second, I would ask her to help me with some of the moves I still can't get after 12 years of WAH. Third, I would ask her to do a special needs DVD modifying WAH for people on walkers.(to the best of my…

Walk To The Hits...All Time Favorites
Hey everybody... :) Just came from Amazon...Leslie's got a new DVD coming out August 4. It's Walk To The Hits...All Time Favorites. 3 miles, priced at $9.99. I LOVED the first two, and the only thing that would make me hesitate is if this were a repackaging of those DVDs. It didn't give a track listing of either songs or…

Texasgardnr And Ann of B
Hi Ann and Mary, It's Sue...you've probably wondered what happened to me. Why I all but left MFP without talking to anyone and quit logging. The long answer is I let depression, stress and circumstances get to me. The short answer is I gave up. Back up to June/July...you recall I was restless with Leslie-she had gotten too…

Under Armour And The My Fitness Pal Merger
On the Fitness/Exercise board and the feedback board there have been discussions about Under Armour having acquired MFP which means a merger and the largest health and fitness company online, if I recall correctly. MFP says it means many improvements here, like improved fitness and nutrition databases. There's been a lot…

Weight Watchers and Leslie
Hi Guys, This is Sue...I just joined WW this past Sunday Feb 15 and am looking for Leslie Peeps who are doing/have done the Points Plus system along with LS DVDs. I am doing 26 daily points and 49 weekly points and am trying to tweak my eating(less sweets, more fruit/veggies). Please tell me your WW stories and…

Leslie Lines We'd Like To See Retired
Do any of you have Leslie lines you'd like to see retired? You know, some things she's been saying since the Flintstones walked the earth...the ones we can quote verbatim and predict when they're coming? I have two...the one about the baseball catcher or shortstop being the correct stance for a sidestep, and the one about…

Texasgardnr
Hi Mary, I wanted to fill you in on the whole 90 day fitness plan idea, and see if you might have further suggestions. I did go to Fit Click for maybe a week, and it was an epic fail!!! They did have a lot of videos and articles we are just starting to have here, but it was hard to get them to play. More importantly, I had…

Confession Time
Hi Leslie Peeps, It's been a rough two weeks and I need to come clean. I have not exercised in almost a week and the food addiction is screaming at me. I need all of you to talk me down. First of all, my ex-roommate, the one who's 100 years old, has no patience. She wants what she wants at the exact second she wants it. A…

Richard Simmons' Project HOPE
Hi, I'm a 53 year old woman with cerebral palsy who is looking to take her workout to the next level. Currently I do Leslie Sansone's walk program holding on to my walker to work my legs, and weight work with 3 pound weights for my upper body; will continue to do LS because she really agrees with my body. Am just beginning…

MFP, Fit Click And Fitness/Nutrition Plans
I posted awhile back about the possibility of a Leslie 90 day fitness program, similar to Insanity, Body Revo- lution, p90x3 etc. Texasgardnr posted me back, suggesting I use the DVDs and equipment I already have to create my own 90 day program. It took me awhile to warm up to the idea since I don't handle charts and…

Leslie and a 90 Day Program?
We all know about Insanity, p90x, JM's Body Revolution, etc. I just read here on MFP and Amazon that Richard Simmons has a new 90 day program called Project HOPE. So I was wondering if Leslie created a 90 day workout, what type of workouts would you want to see included in it, and what would you be willing to pay for it?…

A Walk-Out For Men
I know Leslie has done a one mile walk for men, but a longer walk(for the husbands, fathers, boyfriends and brothers in our lives) might be a really good idea. I'm thinking Steve(Fast & Firm 4 Really Big Miles) and Nick(Party Songs and Radio Remixes) would be good walk leaders, and I'd love to see a 5 miler. Maybe if they…

New Pain?
As you know, I've been at this Leslie thing for a long time(since Sept 2012). I've had to modify some of the movements due to cerebral palsy, and hold on to the walker while working out. Also had to go to half-speed while recovering from a GI virus. What I'm wondering about is new pain in my shoulders and triceps. All I'm…

Lost
I'm lost; I really don't know how to handle this. You know I've been depressed since June and started a depression and anxiety group at the hospital in November. What you don't know is even though I've been back at it since December, I have been eating like nobody's business since June, the depression and stress are off…

Rachel And Last Night's BL
There was a thread on this in the main forum, which got buried. So I thought I'd bring it over here. Rachel won BL but has been deeply criticized for losing too much weight. She went from 260 to 105, losing 155 pounds-60%of her body weight. I understand the shock and criticism, but it has to be devastating to be put…

Leslie's Workouts and Celebrities
Hi, it's Sue... Just wondering, does anyone know if any celebrities have lost weight using Leslie's workouts? I don't so much mean infomercials and such, but more mentions in interviews. I want to know if anyone has said they use LS as their pri- mary workout and how they did.

LS Party Songs And Radio Remixes
Hi Leslie Peeps, I am just restarting after a six month layoff; most of you know this. Just got LS's two new DVDs for Christmas. Really need some help as to how to approach this with my CP and all. The tap outs, bounces, and kickbacks are out of the question right now. I modified the turning sidesteps for now so I just…

South Beach Diet
As many of you know, I'm a sugar and starch addict, shopping too. I have been angry, bitter and depressed recently, which is why I've been mostly silent lately. I just haven't had the energy or motivation to post or exercise much, and my calories have been off the wall!!! Either 1200ish or 2000+. I can't take the crushing…

Body Type
Yesterday I got curious about body type, so I looked up articles and calculators about it. One said I was a ruler or banana. One said I was an hourglass, and the third said I was a pear. My bust is 40.25" waist 36.5", and hips 42.25". Any help, please?

Dumbell Work
Hi, it's Sue... As most of you know I have cerebral palsy. I can't do all the exercises an able bodied person can do but I try. My question is twofold: I'm using 3 pound weights and doing overhead presses, chest presses, bicep curls, and punches. I do about between 10 reps and 50 reps each session and thus far have only…

Is Being Overweight An Eating Disorder?
Dear Leslie Peeps, You all know that I've been struggling with body image issues...the fat person inside trying to come back out, disgust with some physical defects that I have. Also trying to at least cut back on sugar, which has been an eye opener. It's complex and not likely to get any easier. We have this love/hate…

The Fat Person Inside
I'm sad and scared as I write this so please bear with me... I've been told for over a decade inside every fat person there's a skinny person waiting to get out. For a long time I was resigned to being a size 20, and even at one point bought some fancy new clothes in that size because I thought I'd never be able to lose…

I Have A Question...
I have noticed this in my food diary and also those of others so here goes: Why is it that if I exercise I struggle to eat 800-1200 calories, but on the rare day I take off, I eat 1600-1800 easy? I am trying very hard to keep my balance but this is so hard and I honestly don't think it's healthy long term. MFP keeps…

Biggest Loser
This is probably old news to most of you. I just started watching TBL for the first time this season. Enjoying the teens and find them inspiring!!! I feel really sorry for Jillian's team since they are down to only two members; I don't know how they are supposed to come back from that. I like Jillian, Bob and Dolvett and…

Quick Question For My Leslie Peeps
I just recently added 3 pound weights and the green toning band from WS 5 RBM to my routine. I do the Leslie miles first, holding on to my walker for support. Then I use the weights to do shoulder rolls, chest presses, bicep curls, overhead press, and overhead fly, and tricep kickbacks. I started wth the band tonight…
