This miracle mile is where it all started for me about 21 months and dozens and dozens of lbs ago. I'm exactly half my original size now. I'm still not able to write down my starting weight, but I cringe when I look at old pictures of myself. I had procrastinated for years with starting an exercise program. I had ordered a couple of VHS tapes I had seen on an infomercial but never used them. Finally, I hit rock bottom when I bought one of those scales that only went up to a certain number. I was shocked when I kept getting an error message which meant I was too heavy for the capacity. I had known about Leslie Sansone, but I never took it seriously. When I read the results of others I decided to try it. I started with this Miracle Mile and could barely get through it. I couldn't do all the moves, but I kept moving. Leslie said "Just keep moving, march in place, you will reach your goal if you don't quit. You can't do this wrong." Well, she was right. Very quickly I found that I became addicted to it, because I was actually enjoying it. Leslie's talking were words of encouragement and the time just flew by and so did the weeks. I walked every day, and then started walking twice a day. The weight just started falling off. My clothes became huge. They looked like clown's clothes. I've had to replace my entire wardrobe twice and I'm still losing effortlessly, only about 25 more to go. My metabolism has changed. I get compliments galore! I can eat comfortably and not gain weight so easily. Sometimes I can do as much as 7 miles a day. When I was obese, I would drive by people walking for exercise and wish I could do it too, but time, safety, and embarrassment were always factors. I haven't missed a day of exercise since I started. It's convenient, easy and I don't worry if it's raining, snowing, dark out, or what time of day it is--I just WALK! Starting an exercise program is the hardest thing. Leslie makes it easy. Now for me it's just a way of life. If I feel like a mile I do a mile, if I want to do more, I do it. I'm in control now! If you're obese like I was, or need to decrease blood pressure, blood sugar, or cholesterol, give this a try. Walking is the only medication I use. Try this. You won't be sorry.
