Tell me more abut this Walk Away the Pounds video. Do you walk in place or what? Sounds like something I'd like to do.

thanks jlc0926! and hello to you too linus!! i can tell you have a hard time too.i wanna do so much, but my body stops me.i can't stand it!! no doctor will help me either,because i am on medicaid.oh well,they aren't much help anyway.you sound like you are in the same sort of situation with your exercising as i am.well, good luck with that!!

The videos are very low impact so they are easy on the joints and you can always modify when you need to by just walking in place if you get tired. Some say it is like walking in place.....she varies the routine and adds some hand weights to work your upper body too. On the one video I have been doing she walks in place, steps side to side, adds a knee lift and a kick to the routine. She breaks them down into 1 mile, 2 miles and 3 miles. The 1-mile is only 15 minutes long, the 2-mile is 30 minutes and the 3-mile is 45 minutes. She has a variety of things on her website. Hopefully this will be something you all can do......rain or shine.

i am trying to find places around where i am that sell it,hopefully i do.i haven't gone to the website yet,but plan on it!those sound like really good tapes! thanks again!!

Hewysmom: There are a couple things I want to encourage you with. Walking in a mall or your neighborhood costs you NOTHING! You can also get the tapes at the library for free or very nominal fee. Please don't get discouraged. I have lost over a 100 lbs in a year and I started just walking once around my condominium complex twice a day. By October I was able to do a 5k (3.1 mile) breast cancer walk and have now joined the Y and do an hour on the treadmill everyday. You can do this, I know you can! Good luck to you and let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out!
