Hi everyone, my name is Susan and I'm new here. I decided to join because I would like to get down to a healthier weight. The last time I was weighed I was a 277 lbs on a 5'4" frame. DH is supportive of me doing this and we are actually exercising together, although I do my Richard Simmons tape called Get Started. It's actually a very good video and goes at a slower pace than his other exercise tapes. I would like to try something else that goes at a little faster pace, but not too rigourous as I find it hard for me to keep up. Can anyone recommend any? Just thought I would introduce myself and say hello to everyone! Thanks and I look forward to getting to know everyone. -Susan

Hi Susan and welcome! I highly recommend Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds series. (My DH can even be coaxed into doing it once in a while.) It's not just easy but can be scaled down into 1 mile increments in most cases. She also just comes across as a really nice person. None of that "rah rah" cheerleader stuff and even better--no screaming and barking to make you feel even worse about yourself. Good luck! Annie

Thank you Annie. I have heard of her and I think she even has a book called Walk Away the Pounds. Where could I go to buy the program? Thanks and Good Luck to you too. -Susan

Susan,
She has a website (lesliesansone.com) that I know you can buy through. I've also bought a DVD at Media Play. Do you have Comcast cable? They usually have a few of her videos "On Demand" if you have digital cable. It's really a great way to try out a program before you buy. Hope you have some luck! Annie

Annie, Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I don't have Comcast cable but I will go to her website and look there. Thanks so much! -Susan

Thanks Angie, for the reply! WOW, I don't know if I would be able to keep up with Carmen Electra, but maybe someday. Right now, I am just enjoying my sessions with Richard Simmons. LOL Good Luck to you and I know YOU can DO IT TOO!
