Walk Away The Pounds



Recommended Posts

I don't know if anyone else on here does Walk away the pounds by Leslie Sansone. But I love it!

I have the 1 mile walk, 2 mile walk, and I am planning to get 3 and 4.

I love the stretchy band and how she cordinates upper body with walking and not just walking.

Kicking, lifting your knees. It's actually a wonderfully awesome healthy workout.

Anyone else do these videos?:confused2:

I have used her videos for years - the years that i have been 'good' that is! I use the 3-miles (both with weights, and with stretchy cord) and this past winter i got the 5-mile one. Now that the weather is good, i'm doing more outdoor activity; but I love Leslie when i can't be active outdoors.

I track my 'miles' on a calendar and also on a spreadsheet; last December 22 I started a 'virtual journey' through Europe; starting on the Baltic Sea, and keeping track of my 'miles' as I head towards Istanbul. I color in countries on a map as I enter new countries.

I have used www.michelin.com to 'plan' my journey, and know how many miles it will take from the border of one country to the next.

I guess I need to update my profie; I had my lapband on October 24, but it's been a lot longer than that since I logged onto this site!

I have it too! It has the 1,2, and 3 mile together on 2 dvd's with the stretchy band. I thought it was corny at first, but it's a boost when I don't feel like being outside or I don't want to go to the gym. Or I'm having and "ugly" day when I don't want other people to watch me workout. I think they're great...the music is cheesy but I know all the beats and tempo changes and I have grown to love it.

Hi! Yes, I do these dvd's and I love them. The one mile is just enough to make you feel like you are doing something when you don't have enough time. Where are you in your journey?

I'm on my 2nd month of my 6 month diet for insurance. I wish I was further along...but can't do anything about it. After the diet I should be having surgery in November.

Hey, I'm glad you said something. I had forgotten all about them. I have miles 1-3, but they must still be in a box somewhere. We moved a while back and I haven't seen them. I used to do them all the time. I agree with what someone else said, she gets on my nerves with all of her talking and laughing. I actually turn the volume down. I might dig them out and try doing it with my ipod. :w00t:

She is annoying, I guess she figures she has to say something since she is getting paid. But, does she really have to say so much? A co-worker and I do them daily whichever one we have time for. I love the upperbody on the 3 mile the best, it's not easy but it does get you PUMPIN! I am only 5 days out of surgery but do plan to start back up with the 1 mile on Monday and see how it goes. Think I'll pass on the stretchy band part though for now.

Hi, I haven't been to my first visit yet (June 24th) but at the orientation we were advised of all to have done and our insurance requires you to loose 5% of your weight before surgery. I am glad it is not 6 months BUT might as well get used to the new eating pattern as soon as possible. Our surgeon asks us to go on the South Beach Diet and I am in the strict 2 week phase but have already lost 10 pounds. Good luck.

I love her tapes. Fast paced and fun. Doesn't feel like exercise.

Yeah, her tapes are pretty nice. Hehe, good exercise.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
