Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this DVD and received it a few days before Christmas. First let me tell you that I started on my weight loss odyssey about 5 months ago, weighing 384 pounds. I started dancing to my Ipod for 5 minutes. Eventually, I increased my exercise time to 35 minutes with a routine I developed based on past gym experiences. It worked--I lost 75 pounds by Christmas, using my own routine. But it got old and too easy and I realized I needed something a bit more taxing. I checked out various exercise DVDs via fitness TV and even the so-called low impact exercise sessions were simply too fast and too high impact for someone weighing what I do/did. When I popped this DVD in, I really didn't expect much. I started with the 1 mile walk on Christmas Day and surprisingly was able to keep up and follow Sansone's cues. A few days later I tried the 2 mile walk and surprised myself by being able to do the whole session. It was hard, I won't lie. But I managed to do the 2 mile for the past month and have seen amazing results. I had hit a plateau with my weight loss but when I started Walk Away the Pounds, I began losing again. I've lost 16 pounds since starting the DVD--during a very trying period. When I walk outside, I don't lose consistently. When I do the Sansone DVD, I lose weight everytime. 3 Days ago I started the 3 mile walk. I had gotten a bit bored with the 2 mile so thought I'd probably not be able to handle the 3 mile but gave it a try. I've done it 3 days now and I won't lie...it's hard for this heavy body to keep up but I'm doing it! If you are a very heavy person, like me, and you don't think you can do an exercise program like this...you can! I have the knee problems and back problems morbidly obese people typically have. I can't say I love doing the workouts. I love it when I finish them to be honest. And, my body hurts while I do them. But the improvements I've seen in heart rate, stamina and my mood make me continue. If you're a really heavy person who's desperate to find something you can do, I encourage you to try this DVD.
