Operation: September Success Story
POSTED

TGIF Walkers! Another summer weekend is just around the corner.
As the season winds down, I’ve made a couple of very important observations about the way I most enjoy exercise. On the one hand, I am a firm believer that variety is the spice of life – trying new workouts from week to week to keep things interesting helps me avoid getting stuck in a workout rut.
On the other hand, I also find that unless my workouts are set to a specific schedule or structure, I lose my focus. While I crave selection, I simultaneously need to be guided in the right direction. I want to wake up every morning knowing exactly what I am striving to accomplish that day in order to reach my goals.
For these reasons, I am so excited to embark on Leslie’s 21-day Walk, Eat, Lose program. Our Walk at Home Team recently discussed the program’s launch on QVC. Now I’m ready to challenge myself and move from watching and reading about it to actually doing it!
My motivations are physical and mental. You see, I am two months away from my wedding day and want to look and feel my absolute best. I want my bridal glow to radiate from within. I want the love I have for myself to shine as brightly as the love I have for my husband-to-be.
And I want YOU to join me!
Whether you want to look your best for an upcoming fall event, are up for a new challenge or simply want to begin a lifelong, sustainable way to eat and exercise, I encourage you to join me on this 21-day journey to explore who we are and the amazing things we are capable of accomplishing when we put our minds to it.
Mark your calendars! This challenge is set to start on Monday, August 30. I can’t think of a better way to end one month and begin another. Let’s call it Operation: September Success Story!
If you already have the Walk, Eat, Lose program and want to join in, we are all for it! Otherwise, you can visit the QVC website or our own official store for details and special promotions.

I'm ready for a challenge and my Walk, Eat, Lose should already be in the mail making its way to me! Walk walk walk walk!
I am SO excited! This is JUST the motivation I needed! Let's get this!
I am ready for the challenge! I have been doing the 2 mile superwalk for the past 2 weeks! This will be a nice added motivation!
I am embarking on a new life after losing my job and apartment. September is the beginning of a new start for me!
Today I couldn't lift my 1 year old boy because I pulled my back again, due to the excess weight I'm carrying & my weak abdominals. This is the second back pull in as many months. I'm only 37 and I may also have type 2 diabetes now. I was always thin, fit and healthy and never imagined I would be the "fat lady" with self induced health issues. I need to do this challenge for myself and my family. Wish me luck!
This is so the motivation I need - a challenge - and one I can do. Thanks!
Count me in!! I'm down over 30 pounds since April 28th! Could use some motivation to keep me going! :-)
I am so looking forward to a brand new month. August was my OFFICIAL month back to Leslie walking and regular exercise since my mom was hospitalized in mid-February!! My goal for the month was 60 miles. As of yesterday, August 19 I am only 5 miles away from meeting my goal, which means I will be surpassing my goal for the month!! I plan to go for 80 miles for September, and I can't wait. Walking with Leslie again has truly been a breath of fresh air. I feel like life has been breathed into me again. I feel like I can do ANYTHING! Even though I am now unemployed and desperately searching for a job, my outlook is positive and walking with Leslie definitely keeps my mood up!! Thank you Leslie!! You are the best!! You rock!!!
OMG!!! I have 3 dvd of Walling off the pds, but barely use them, now that I relocated back home, Puerto Rico. The heat/sun is brutal out here... but I am going to make myself do it at night, when the temp is down in the 80s.... as I read the articles here, I came to realize, that the heat should not keep me down, and that I should get use to it, after all, I was raised and lived here for nearly 24 yrs b4 relocating to the states. =) everyone, great job, keep up the good work... HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!!!
How perfect! I have a genetic condition that causes my liver to fail all on its own, so if I eat too much fat it accumulates in liver and I seriously increase the risk of liver cancer and liver cirrhosis! I only got the diagnosis last year. Since then I have lost 65 lbs and then regained 15. I have been struggling to find the motivation I had last year after learning of my diagnosis. This is perfect! I feel like I have a group of people to do it with! Operation: September Success Story (Again) for me! Thanks Walk At Home for keeping me motivated to be healthy forever!
I am definitely going to participate in this challenge with y'all! I just sent my 1st born baby off to college (10 hours away) this morning and I need a distraction that will be a benefit to me!
Looking forward to the 21 day challenge!:)
I love Leslie and everything she does. She has helped me loose 48 lbs so far and I'm not done yet. I walk with her every morning and it's the perfect start to my day. I am ready to take the challenge and the benefits that go with it !!! Thank you Leslie !
Count me in! This sounds like a great challenge. I have Walk, Eat, Lose and I love it.
Sounds great! Could use some (well, actually a lot!) of motivation. And September has always been a time of new beginnings for me, so it just makes sense!
I AM READY TO GO!!! LET'S DO IT!!!
Thank you Leslie for you videos. By eating less and doing your dvds for the last 3months I lost 25lbs. Because your DVDs are so simple to follow I am on a mission to lose the last 18lbs. Thank you, thank you.
Goodbye summer stress...hello September success!
Count me in! I am 10 months away from my wedding date and only 10 lbs from my goal weight! I have already lost 50 lbs using the Walk at Home DVD's since October 2009! Thank you SO much for everything! Couldn't have done it without you!!!
I am down 71 pounds from my highest weight, still have 37 pounds to go. I'm at the lowest weight I've been at in more than 20 years. I can use a good challenge to make me step it up a bit!
August 30 is my birthday, so I can't think of a better way to celebrate!
This is just the motivation I need. I have gotten out of my workout habit this summer and will definitely take advantage of this challenge to get me going again!
I'm looking forward to the September challenge to get my spark back. I lost about 30 pounds and have been holding steady. I'm ready to blast past it!
I am interested in taking this 21 day challenge. My mother Carol Lehman will be doing this challenge with me. She is a brand new walker and has already lost 4 pounds. I am so proud of her. Anyway we are both up to the challenge. Keep pushing play everyone ans blessings to all.
KEEP PUSHING PLAY: KATHRYN & CAROL LEHMAN
Yes, I will be participating. This is perfect timing for me. I have a family reunion on Sep 24 so I will be looking good!
I have just completed the August 21 day chalenge and I am ready for the September's 21 day challenge.
I'm in!
Count me in!!! I love walking with Leslie. I do it six days a week! Keep 'em coming!
Count me in, too!! Leslie is such a great motivator, and I love her walks! Looking forward to getting my life and my health back on track...8 lbs. down, 37 more to go! :)
Count me in! I have been using Leslie's tapes along with Weight Watchers since March 12 and I am down 50 pounds. Just bought the new DVD from QVC yesterday and it will be here in time to start the September challenge!
Hi! My sister is getting married in 2 months and I've been working out and watching my calorie intake since January of this year. Almost a month ago I bought the Eat, Walk , and Lose system from QVC. I said to myself that I was going to do the 21 day challenge as soon as I received it. Well life had other plans. With all the bridal shower planning and chaos I just couldn't fit this in. I did however step up my walking regimen from 2-4 miles per day to 4-8 miles per day!I feel amazing! I haven't dropped much weight but I have lost inches. This is still good in my book!
I am so thrilled that you're going to start this challenge for everyone to join in on. I like a bit of competition!
I'm ready to participate in the september challenge! I've been trying to reach my goal by my bday on October second and I'm sure the september challenge will be a great help. I too need structure and I look forward to joining everyone for a successful September!
I'M IN!!! I am 65 (66 next month) and am using Leslie's CDs to train for the 3-Day Walk for Breast Cancer (60 miles, 20 miles over 3 days) that I'm going to do for the first time in November in San Diego, California. I started training in May in order to drop some extra weight and also to give myself plenty of time to get in shape and get these old legs moving again. I am a medical transcriptionist and my job requires me to sit a lot, and I had gotten somewhat sedentary! However, thanks to Leslie and her Walk-At-Home program, I have lost a total of 10 pounds and several inches. In the last 6 weeks, I have been averaging 49.55 miles of walking per week and always try to get to 60 when I can. I am happy to exercise every day and love the inspiration that Leslie gives throughout every one of her workouts!! Marking my calendar, COUNT ME IN!!!
I'm in! I always love something that keeps me motivated to keep walking. Thanks for the challenge!
I was just thinking today that I really need to get with it. I have been slacking with my weight loss and off and on with my exercise lately. I love Leslie's workouts so when I saw this I thought what a perfect thing! Now I just need to go order my Walk Eat Lose. Yay, I'm excited!!
I would love to "join the walk party!" It will motivate me too!
YES! YES! YES! Count me in!! I needed that extra motivation. Let's go!!! :-)
I love Leslie Sansone!!! Yes, yes, count me in!!! I would love to not only get this weight off but win those awesome workout clothes.. :-) Walk, walk, walk
I was going to buy it last night, and did not. I will do it now...Thanks for all you do!
I'm in! What a perfect idea....some motivation for the fall season.
I have been walking with Leslie for 7 1/2 years. I still love it, and I have kept my weight down with Leslie's DVDs. I lost 55 lbs. 7 years ago and I am still holding my weight thanks to Walk Away the pounds. I think I have every DVD. I like to mix it up. It is so easy and I feel so good after working out. Thanks Leslie for the great excercise programs and the motivation.
I have done the 21 day challenge two other times. I love all Leslie's tapes and do them 6 days a week.
I worked my way from barely able to do one mile to doing 10 miles in one day.
Count me in! It was offical that I started working out again in Aug ( after a 9 month) break. I need the challege as I have some plans in early Oct to get ready for. I am really excited.
Been doing your workouts since 2003. Love the Walk-Eat-Lose series. In fact, did them all just this week. I'm in!
Janie
I need to get moving . . . . and I love a great challenge!!! Praying this will be the thing to spur me on to lose the 100 pounds that is slowly killing me!!! Here I go . . . . . more walking . . . . less of me!!!!!! BRING IT ON!!!!!!!
Wow, what perfect timing! I've been trying to find a way to motivate myself to exercise. I often find excuses - the weather, the lack of friends to workout with, time... Recently I discovered Leslie's Walk DVD's and have enjoyed renting/borrowing them. Before I purchase one, I wanted to find the perfect one for me. My excuses are dwindling. I can Walk at Home inspite of the weather, Leslie can be my motivating friend, and there are a variety of workouts (1-5 miles) that I can do no matter how much time I have. Thanks for the inspiration to get up & WALK!
I've been walking outside enjoying the balmy nights of summer. But, the cool, crisp evenings of fall are fast approaching, so I can't think of a better way to refocus my energies into an in home workout routine. Let the challenge begin!
I'm in for the exercise part! I'm curious though. Do any of you follow the meal plan as well as the exercise? I haven't tried any of her meal plans because I'm doing Jenny Craig for my diet.
I have been on this life changing journey for 25 months now and I've lost 162 lbs at this point and I am striving to lose another 85-100 lbs. I have always been too big to wear exercise clothes but I am now down to 328 and I'm feeling great. I enjoy new changes or challenges to keep me motivated! I would love to win a set of workout gear!!! Oh, my the way my heart doctor is thrilled with my success and I owe it to your motivational tapes Leslie!!!
I am in need of a walk challenge. I need to lose at least 50 lbs. I have been making attempts for a few years now, and it's time for a positive change. This time I am going to take control of my health using small steps, one day at a time.
I am in!!! I love allof Leslie's workouts and have lost almost 10 lb so far. My goal is 75 lb and this challenge is exactly what I need!!
I'm up for the Challenge!!!
HI I would like to do this challenge with the cables I just got back from vacation and I'm ready to walk walk walk and lose lose lose. :)
I can't wait, let's walk!
Being a teacher, I am so motivated this September to show my students how to live a healthy lifestyle. I try to incorporate some type of movement every day into my classes (and I teach English to Junior High - so that can be a challenge). I also have pedometers for my students, because they like to compete in a step challenge with me. This new challenge will be the key to starting the school year off right and allowing me to be a healthy role-model to my students, as Leslie is for me! Thank you!
I'm up for the challenge, Leslie! :)
love your tape////am doing WW//// but so far no results in weight loss/ but refuse to give up// am up to doing 4 miles on the tape// plus walk with my husband 3 miles// can you give me any advice//please

I'm always up for a challenge and this will be fun AND beneficial!
I'm in! I have been walking for the last two years and am really working on healthy eating habits. I have lost 18 pounds since February, have another 58 to go. I am shooting for being at or below 200 pounds by my 60th birthday in mid-September and I'm on track to make that goal, but I wills till have 50-55 pounds to go when I get there. Currently doing the 5 mile walk 5-6 days a week, and loving it!

Looking forward to it:)
August 30th will be my 57th birthday. I've been working out with Leslie for about 18 months now and continually get compliments on how good I'm looking. I've given Walk at Home CD's to my sister and three of my friends who all love them! One friend has lost 40 lbs., another is in her 80's and has seen an improvement in her balance and sleep patterns. For my birthday, I am giving the five women in my Bible Study group each a set of the Walk-Eat-Lose CD's ... I want them to join me in long term good health. Thanks so much for making a product available that so many can successfully use. I'm up for a new challenge!

Leslie I have been walking with you since 2003 and recently since having my 3rd son in Nov of 2009 have walked of 86 pounds! I want to say thank-you for your constant great work that you do! I have found so many great walking sisters in sweat here and on facebook thru your page! I even started up a Challenge page to help others as I help myself! I can't wait to see what Challenge you have for us next!!! Thank-you
Nicole
Yes, count me in for a Challenge. I have several LS videos now, but I wasn't able to do the challenge posted on the website cause I dont have ALL the videos listed. That was a shame. I hope this challenge will be Better User Friendly.
I am in for the Challenge. We just came back from a 10 day road trip and I must get back into my walking with Leslie routine. The 21 day challenge will be perfect to start me off slow and build up back up to a fantastic level. I have been maintaining my goal weight for just over two years, but must admit that I brought home a couple of extra pounds that will be gone in 21 days!
Just received my Walk, Eat, Lose delivery in Canada and am looking forward to joining everyone in the upcoming challenge. I have a big birthday coming up in 2011 and would like to be down a few (or alot) of pounds but most of all, just want to live a healthier life. Operation: September Success Story seems like a great way to start!
Thanks Leslie! I just started walking at home in July. So far ihave 2 of your DVD's and I tell everyone I can about them. I haven't lost any weight yet, but I have been trying to walk at least 3 timea a week about 2 or there miles
tommy's mommy
I have always had a little extra weight on me, and because I'm 5'2" it shows more. I have started Weight Watchers I little over a month ago, and have been doing well, but when I found the WAH DVDs I couldn't get enough. I have started walking off the pounds. I started walking 1 mile at night, then 2 miles. The ony time I can walk is at night due to my responsibiities at work and home. It's too hot outside right now but I decided "no excuses". I tell everyone "I'm walking with my new best friend!". I'm working up to 3 miles the more. By the time I get home my Walk Eat Lose shippment should be there. I'm in for the long run. Thanks for being there.
Exactly the motivation I needed to get started...just received the Walk Eat Lose and ready to WALK, EAT, LOSE!!! Bring on August 30th! YAY!
I am ready for the challenge. bring it on!!! I don't have the kit, but would love to participate.
I am ready for the challenge. This sounds like just what I need to get back into my routine after summer break threw me off.
I am really looking forward to this, Thank you ! It's Just the motivation I needed to get back walking with Leslie after this horribly HOT summer :) Walk ON girls - We can do it !!!
Lesllie, I am looking forward to getting back in a routine of exercise. I miss hearing your voice! It is so true that exercise makes me feel better and I am trying to break out of the downward spiral I have been in and get going again. I will be one of the September Successes!
I'm in. I need to get started on my new life
I've been walking faithfully with Leslie for one and a half years and it's been the best thing to get addicted to! Now I'm ready for the challenge in order to have Leslie lead me on the eating part of the weight-loss equation! My daughter will join me, too! Wishing all the challenge participants great success and happy walking!
This is just what I need to continue to motivate me! I have been walking with Leslie for 10 years. Her walking program has inspired me and enabled me to maintain my goal weight. I know I could not do it without Leslie!!!
Colleen
Sounds great! I'm in!!!!
I am in. I am not just declaring September to be Operation September Success but I am declaring it September Slim Down!
I discovered Walk Away the Pounds with Leslie several years ago. The variety of walks keeps me motivated. I'm looking forward to this challenge. Keep on Walking!
Ready for the challenge!!!
ill be joining in! i just did the mile walk online at "walk at home" site about an hour ago and i feel good.
I look forward to this NEW start. I have not exercised in several years due to not feeling well.
Thanks for the challenge...I am ready!
I'm ready for the challenge. My wedding anniversary is Dec. 20th and I want to lose 15 pounds.
Count me in. I need to stop saying I need to exercise and actually do it. I am ready.
I'm in! I've lost 48 lbs since March 1st using the WATP workouts as my only form of exercise. I have so many of the workouts I can't even pick a favorite. They are all good. I need to lose 13 more lbs to get to my original goal weight of 150. I never dreamed I'd actually make it this far so I may set an even lower goal once I get to 150.
My husband and I have been trying to lose weight now for 2.5 months. Together we have lost almost 70 pounds. Our goal for the next 6 weeks is an additional 15 pounds each. We have been walking to Leslie's tapes, eating better and making an over all lifestyle change. We want to continue to make these permanent changes to our health. Congratulations to everyone who has been working hard to become healthier!!
HI, I'm up for the challenge!!! I found out a year ago that I am a diabetic. Leslie's walking has really helped me keep my numbers good! I am always walking now - and always need to loose some more weight! Let's walk!
Leslie has helped me in so many ways, and I love walking with her and my friends. I am SO in for this challenge! Good luck to all, and happy walking!
I am ready to take this challenge - I need to stay focused to finish what was started! Let's go!
This is very exciting and at such a great time of the year! This should become an annual thing so we can just call it Sansone September Success ;D
Ready, willing, and kind of able.
Let's do it! I'm totally in!!
I have the kit and i am ready!!! lets walk!
Why not. Looks like I can use it well to round off my 6 week challenge and I need new material.
Count me in! Can't wait!
Count me in! Love Leslie's WAHW :)
I'm ready, willing and able...let's get started!
This is the push I needed!! I have had many stresses in my world and too many excuses, but walking is the first step to turn it around! Thank you Leslie for your posting, I will be walking with all of you. We can do it!
Bring it!!!! Walk on!!
I'm a teacher who starts school tomorrow, and I know it's going to be a challenge to keep up my walking with a very busy schedule. I'm also the mother of 5 and I'm taking 6 graduate credits as well, so I need LOTS of motivation to find the time to stay on track. Walking at home has been such a blessing to me - I can do it regardless of the time or weather. I'm ready for the new school year in better shape than I've ever been before. There's strength in numbers! I'm glad to be a part of this community.
I'm ready to start walking again!
I once walked away 75lbs, but went back to college in '09 and have gained back a good 40lbs! So I'm back to walking and back to trying to fit in health into my reading packed college schedule.
With 100+ pounds to lose, this is just what I need - nothing crazy, simple exercise, and a PLAN! Thanks WAH crew!
I am on board! I weigh more today than I ever have, due to illness and several other factors. But, I'm cleared for exercise again and I'm joining you for September and beyond!
Count me in! I started a personal challenge last week and this will help keep me motivated.
Labor Day will be one year from the day I got my new hip. I have not been able to walk for several years because of pain, and I have gotten into terrible shape. Over the past year I have learned to walk again, and am starting to get to the point where I can take a walk. I can walk about 1/2 a mile without pain. After a couple more months, I should be able to walk all day without pain. I am SO wanting to see that day. This will be very motivational for me. A concrete goal that is not many months or years off. I can stick with it, and get back to a habit of walking. I walked when I was in school. I lived in an apartment in the city with two dogs and we walked twice a day, every day. Rain, snow, sleet, hail, ice, burning heat; the dogs HAVE to go out, so I HAD to go out. It was so good for me, and I have really missed it. Now with a new hip, I feel I have a new lease on life, and I am ready to take advantage of it.
Walk on!
I need a life long plan...one I can follow without spending money I don't have! I will do this for 21 days - by then I should have results that will keep me going! Thanks everyone for all inspiring comments I am going to read :-)
I LOVE a challenge! Let's GO! I have walked off 63 pounds since Jan 4 2010! I bought the Walk, Eat, Lose program the first time it was shown on QVC and even got to speak to Leslie! This program mixed with all of the other Walk at Home programs have helped me change my unhealthy lifestyle to a healthy lifestyle! My calendar is marked! Walk Walk Walk!
Jodi
I'm going to get back to walking--I've used all of the "walking" DVDs and love them... lost 40 pounds... ready to do for 20 more...
I'm ready for this. I've been using a variety of your walk videos for 17 weeks, along with the Weight Watchers program, and I've lost 29.6 pounds. I'm sort of in a "plateau" now, and I accept this challenge and hope to begin the second 30 pound loss that I need to accomplish to reach my goal!!!
Count me in! I discovered one of Leslie's DVDs in February when I decided to lose weight for my 30th high school reunion. I managed to lose 59 pounds and reach my goal weight in time for the big day! I have a variety of WAH DVDs and my goal was to do 25 miles each week. I have never felt better in my life! I am determined not to gain back any weight and I know these workouts are the answer to staying slim. To maintain I have set a goal of at least 15 miles each week! These DVDs are so motivational to me and I thank you Leslie for helping all of us be healthy!
I have been walking daily since July 13. I am on target to lose 30 pounds by the time I turn 40. I always turn to Leslie when I get serious - I wish I lived closer to actually come to the studio. 11.5 pounds down so far in 7 weeks. I am PROUD and can't wait to keep losing more with this challenge! LET'S GO!
Love Leslie! Love how great I feel when walking. Even if I don't want to exercise, I put in a two mile-tape and am sooo glad I did! Excited about this challenge!
I am in,I LOVE walking with leslie :)
I'm ready for the challenge, just got back into leslie's walk @ home dvd's got to get serious now.
I'm ready to join and begin my journey of losing 100 lbs. I know this challenge is the motivation I need to get my tush off the couch and walking to weight loss and good health. Best wishes to all challengers! :o)

I LOVE doing Leslie's videos! She's so motivational and a pro at what she does. Can't wait for the challenge!

I've just recently started a new weight loss support group at my church and this will be perfect for the "body" part of the mind, body, spirit. Can't wait to get started!!
I'm so excited to start this challenge, since I decided to star exercise again, the last 20 months has been so good for me, I'd been doing every challenge I can, this new challenge is perfect to say goodbye to the summer and said hello to the fall!! thank you for share with us all the information you guys do.
I recently lost over 60 lbs. with Leslie and her WAH vidoes. Sadly, I have since gained back about 30 lbs. I am looking forward to getting "back on track" with this challenge. I refuse to be 300 lbs ever again! Good luck to all!
Let's do it..... This will give me the motivation I am needing big time!!!!!!!
Can't wait....I love these challenges !! I am a mother of 4 kids ( 3 and under), so it is so hard for me to get out of the house. I use the walk at home DVDs everyday and they have helped me lose my baby weight and maintain a healthy weight. I love Mrs. Sansone's positive attitude and caring spirit, it keeps me motivated!
I love a challenge and think it is just the thing to get me going on htis program. I love Leslie's style and the ability to do the workout in front of my computer before I start my day. Let's go!
Great idea, I love a challenge!!! Count me in!!
I am ready to step it up a notch and have asked my husband to join me. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation. Love my Walking with Leslie DVS's!
With exactly 100 pounds to lose, and difficulty getting myself started, this is exactly what I need right now. I want to lose 10 pounds over the month of September, and this is the support I need.
Count me in... I'm ready to Walk Eat and Lose!
I'm all over it! I have lost 55 lbs and kept it off for 2 years, but really need to lose about 20 more. I'm so motivated!!
Loooking forward to the challenge as a way to push myself and to NOT let my health condition discourage me! With full body RSD it is often hard to push past the pain and keep moving but walking with Leslie has not only kept me out of a wheelchair but keeps me moving every day!
I'm going back to work,and this is a perfect time to recommit to a fitness routine. I'm excited!
I am so excited and would love to join he challenge!!I have the DVDs and I love Leslie!I am member of the walk club.
I will be joining the challenge. I have several of the walk away the pounds dvds. I switch them up daily to keep it fresh. Starting tomorrow I want to do the bootcamp dvd every other day to see if I can tell a difference in the next few weeks. I will also be doing some other dvd on the days I don't do the bootcamp walk.
I am so ready for the challenge. I have had the eat, walk, lose since it debuted in January. I love the new workouts and find it great addition to the other videos that I had already used (walk away the waistline, walk strong, 30 minute walk, muscle mile 1, walk/jog and the 4 mile super challenge), and I have since added the bootcamp. I have already lost 19 lbs and have about 60 more to go. My cables for the dvd set broke during a workout about 2 weeks ago and until I have the money to replace it, I have been using the walk away belt and have had to modify some of the workout that match more of the walk away your waistline then the super walks, but still feel like I get a great workout. I have also found a great support system with some of Leslie's friends from facebook that are my chearleaders in my fitness and wieghtloss journey. During this 21 day challenge, I am excited to see the results that my body will achieve. Thank you Leslie for these awesome workouts.
I will be joining in too. Need to get moving! Can't wait to see the difference in 21 days!
I am looking forward to this. Count me in. I hope to reach 50 pound weight loss mark on weigh in Tuesday. This will be just the thing to get me started on the next (and final) 50 pounds.
I've fallen away from my walk program and am anxious to return to it. This will be my motivation and support. I plan to take part in the 21 day challenge and be 10 lbs lighter by the end of September. I love your walk program!!
Count me in too! This challenge couldn"t come at a better time for me as my clothes are getting tight!! NOT a good way to head into Fall!
I'm there! It's time for my break from walking to be over, and my 10 pounds to be gone.
I feel so inspired to continue to stay active and take charge of my body and health. The WAH program has been so good to me and I am grateful my sister recommended it and insisted that I start. I have lost 20 lbs. since June and I feel better than ever.
Count me in! I love Walk@Home. I just got the Walk@Home bootcamp dvd and can't wait to start.
I'm in - let's walk! After just over 30 pounds - - - - I'm just breaking through a plateau!!
PS - my plateau has lasted aprox. ONE YEAR!
I just saw the invitation a few minutes ago and I'm ready to walk! Because of the Walk at Home program and Weight Watchers, I've lost 42 lbs and feel better at age 55 than I did in my 40s! I have close to 30 of Leslie's DVDs and take every opportunity to share information with others about how great the program is!
My 13 yo daughter and I accept the challenge. We walked pretty faithfully last year and bought more of Leslie's power walking videos for variety and challenge. My daughter uses it for p.e. for home school which is a great bonus for me to have a walking partner and keep me accountable, too. THANKS!!
I am in!!! I never tire of working out with Leslie. I admire and respect who she is. Her personality keeps me coming back for more. God Bless You, Leslie.
Just the motivation I need to actually do the workouts, since they're here and waiting for me. Let's go!
Ready for the challenge too!
To one Leslie from another Leslie - I just spent the weekend on a red eye weekend in Atlantic City, NJ and walked the majority of the time. When I got off the bus Sunday morning, I felt like I couldn't move. I made the decision that the time is now to get in shape so I can do the spontaneous things without having my body hold be back. I am 3 weeks away from turning 57 and I am tired of being out of shape. My journey starts now and I would love to be turning heads in my new gear as I walk down the road to the new me.
I have done so many of Leslie's DVD's and really enjoyed them and worked hard. But I am at a standstill as someone else mentioned and would really like to move ahead and lose 10-15 more pds. I also need new motitivation as things get so hectic with a husband, four kids and a part-time job that I start to work hard again and then the next week I think it is ok to let a couple days of exercise slip. I look forward to the next month with all of you.
I've been in a slump this past week, so was happy to see this challenge. I'm ready to start again, tomorrow. Thanks, Leslie and crew!
Thanks for the motivation...I'm there!!!!
I just spent a couple of months doing a super intense workout routine, but couldn't keep it up. It's been a couple weeks now since I've exercised and I'm realizing that the "sustainable" part of the exercise plan is the most important part! The workouts you'll actually DO are infinitely more effective than the workouts you won't! That being said, I'm so happy to start walking with you guys again tomorrow! What could be more sustainable than a walking routine?
I am ready to step into a fitter me! Have lost some weight recently but haven't really worked out; I found Leslie's workouts on the Comcast On-Demand lineup and have started doing them at home. Fun, but challenging! I'm excited!
Just joined the club and bought the new walking video pack. I can't wait to walk my butt into gear! Yay for Leslie she is amazzing!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW! I'm so excited... I'm a new Walk Club Member, just got started with Leslie's DVDs and ordered the W-E-L set tonight. Wishing I had put it on express shipping so I won't be far behind on this 21 day challenge.
Bless each and every one of you! Your postings are an inspiration to me and I can't wait to hear your success stories.
Ladies & Gentlemen... start your engines! Here's to everyone's health and success!
My shoes are tied up and ready to go....
I have been walking with you for over 4 months now and am so happy with the changes my 50 year old body has undergone! I just LOVE your DVD's! Thank you so much and count me in for the challenge!!
I am excited!
Thanks for giving us this guidance. I'm going to give it a try!
I am ready to get started!!
I am ready to start. I am 5'9 and just weighed in at 280. I need all the help and motivation I can get. I was referred by Bry Servedio and seeing her posts and yors provide me with great motivation! Thanks girls!
I am always late, but better late than never! Putting the DVD in NOW!!! I love your workouts Leslie! I have about 25 of them!
Ate a healthy breakfast and did the 2 Mile Super Walk. Love the cables1 Always feel that I've used all the different muscle groups.
I'm in, I've lost 45lbs since January need to lose another 43lbs to be at my 1st goal weight. Looking forward to the 21 day challenge with Leslie's DVD's and the help of God almighty. Let's walk away some pounds people!
I just came back to the computer to pop on a Leslie dvd and thought I'd stop by to see if anything new is going on. Yes! I am so in the 21 day challenge! Going to do the first 2 miles of Walk Away Your Waistline today. :-)
I am in, I really want to make september a successfull month, happy walking
I'm a little late, but count me in!
Well, I'm new to the site but not to Leslie, although it's been years since I have walked with her. What better way to get back on board than starting with a challenge so count me in. I'm going out of tomorrow, be back Sunday night so my official start day will be Monday which means I'll finish a week later than everyone else, and I'm ok with that because it's not when I start but that I finish once I start and it will still be September when I finish, right?
Good Luck to everyone!!!!
OOPS, that should be going out of town tomorrow.
