I have a Leslie video made sometime during the 90's, it has all those funky pink, yellow & green neon colors that were so popular back then. I think it's a 4-mile walk (3 miles with a bonus mile at the end). Anyway, Mary Kay is a lot thinner in that workout that in her recent ones, like the new 3 Mile Weight Loss Walk.
Truthfully, I'm not sure if I feel encouraged or discouraged by looking at Mary Kay. I'm about the same size she is in the 3 Mile Weight Loss Walk, and I keep thinking, "She's been working out for ages and she's still overweight!" (Like me, I just cannot lose weight no matter how much I diet & exercise!) I try to remind myself that I'm quite a bit younger than she is, and she's in great cardiovascular shape and has a lot of energy, but still... |

Walk and Jog predates the 3-mile Weight Loss Walk by several years. Mary Kay's weight gain is fairly recent, so far as I can tell from videos. I have no idea why she gained weight... very possibly menopause, thyroid issues, who knows? I find it inspiring that she is still working out, still obviously quite fit!! I personally would keep right on working out if I gained weight, because I like to work out! And I like how it makes me feel! And I'd rather be fit than not, regardless of my size. So GO Mary Kay!
I like seeing a lifelong approach to fitness like that. Through thick and thin (literally!), just keep working out. Mary Kay is an inspiration. |

Susan, I was just going to post the same thing-her weight change could be due to medical issues. She obviously still has great cardio endurance, and that is what's important. I always really enjoy seeing her in workouts. She smiles all the way through every workout.

I have not been with Leslie so I don't know that she had an increase. I didn't know the years and when was filmed but it would be nice if it were the other way around. and ya, I'm still walking on my job... lol I walk a lot.

Copied directly from the VF Guidelines:
Though VFers discuss every aspect of their videos and video instructors, we ask that posters stay away from criticism of a particular instructor's (or cast member's) physique or other qualities that have no bearing on the quality of the workout. Everyone has their own definition of physical beauty, and fit women and men come in all shapes and sizes. Such criticism undermines the inclusiveness of this Forum. I find this discussion of a background exerciser's weight offensive, not to mention it's blatantly against the guidelines to critique someone's body. Am I missing something???? Someone please help me out here and explain why this is going on. Thanks. Carol |
