[...] Does that mean you can expect your regularly scheduled programming to be shifted to All MizFit Rambles About Oprah All The Time? No (although we’ve previously established that I do love me some Oprah blogging.). [...]

My New Year’s Resolution was not to throw any more money at my weight loss attempts (other than my gym membership which I would have regardless) so I can say, quite honestly, that I have no plans on buying one of these. Plus, I feel like I’d look like a Superfreak wearing it and it probably wouldn’t fit on my ample midsection.

Do I wish I would have invested in the company that makes them? Absosmurfly.

When I saw the vest I immediately thought about getting one. Pavlovian response??
Thought I should try the weights LAYING NEXT TO THE TREADMILL after dusting them off before ordering said vest. Mayhaps that will knock it out of me.
Heather – I heart Project Runway too but don’t tell anybody.

Definitely sweaty. I feel like it would kill my knees, too. In theory, though, I think it would work. Great info.

Ok. This is a good idea, but not for me. I’d rather walk faster than feel like gravity hates me.

Also, I’m pretty sure you’d be arrested if you wore that into an airport.

I don’t watch Oprah and I do the kangaroo mommy thing, which probably adds more weight than any walk vest. And more baby drool stains to my shirts.

My TV guilty pleasure is Project Runway. I LOVE that show.

I agree with different parts of all things you have said.

Trace? you didnt ask for my opinion BUT Id say save your energy—I dont buy into the weighted walking no matter what form it takes.
but that’s just my .02

W.O.Mommy? amen on the inventing and on oprah. she just breathes yer name and you are a bazillionaire (most of which Id donate, O, so please to exhale a MizFit or 3).

Priscilla? Ive neither used a pool weight vest nor gotten off my couch.

and Michelle? you’re so right and there is nothing I enjoy LESS than (gag) O the Magazine (heresy I know. I tried. Cant do it. the cover kills it for me) but I do cave for the show every once in a while.

the musical ones are the best. she’s a worse dancer than the presidential candidate who shimmied on Ellen.

I don’t like Oprah (don’t throw things at me) and almost never watch her. However, I did catch Barbara Cooper yesterday (I love a good “I lost a bunch of weight without pills” when done in a non-preachy manner. And I love celebrities who seem like normal people. Oprah isn’t normal no matter how much she tries to pretend she is. She is just annoying in her desperate attempts to be just like one of the girls with her mega power and billions of dollars.

Loved the weight vest in theory but also thought of the sweaty and vanity factor. I guess since it was on Oprah that might take care of some of the vanity issue.

helloooooo, MizFit, clearly I would have to walk to use it, and you know how I loves me my couch.

Ok, seriously, looks cool but would I look like a total nerd walking around the park wearing it?

Anyone ever use the pool weight vest? That’s some chickenbus I could get behind. In my pool. Where no one could see me.

lol, you crack me up! I totally thought about it, but I agree, it looks very sweaty. Great idea though, I wish I had invented it. (and had it mentioned on Oprah!)
