Good afternoon Ladies -

I stumbled across your group last night and peeked back in again this morning and y'all look like a fun group to hang out with!

My name is Vanessa, I'm 37 and I live in Maryland with my 6 year old boy/girl twins.

I'm 5'5" and prior to the kids being born I was always in the low 130's... after they were born and I lost the "baby weight" I stayed in the upper 130's and now... well... let's just say 2006 has not been kind to me and the weight has been creeping up. This morning I weighed in at 146! (yikes)

I try to do dvd's before the kids wake up and after they go to bed but now I see I need to be more consistent in the exerecise dept. My goal is to lose 10 pounds AND to become more fit.

Can't wait to learn more about you ladies!

Hi Vanessa, glad you came out to join us :-)


What kind of workouts do you have?
Personally I like the WATP Leslie Sansone

Thanks for the welcome and the links Miranda. I'll have to check out those Slim in 6 DVDs and when I do get my rear in gear and start exercising again I'll be sure to update to the Walk Across America Challenge!

I've seen the Leslie Sansone tapes posted a lot on the Weight Watchers Board (yes, another diet I have tried... LOL) and actually ordered one through Netflix. It was a 1 mile one dvd and it was pretty good. Next time I'll definitely try the 2 or 3 mile walk! Which ones of hers do you like the best?

The latest dvds I've been doing are from Prevention. I have 4 from them, 2 Denise Austin's, 3 Winsor Pilates and a couple of other various ones. I always have to rotate or I get bored! LOL

Hi Darcy-
I looked at your profile to see how old your kids were and I saw that you live in Seattle - GUESS WHAT? That's where I was born and raised!!!! My mom, dad, sister and a whole slew of cousins all still live there. I came out East for college and never moved back! Small world!

My favorite is her WATP for abs, with the belt. I have the set of 1,2 and 3 miles-- but my video is on the blink, so can't use them at the moment :-(
