Hi Debbie-
 
Just a little note to keep you updated on my progress…I’m still walking & still losing.
 
I was so worried about my vacation, and I’m glad to report that I even lost 3lbs while we were away.  I ate & enjoyed myself within reason and not being neurotic about every little bite.
 
I am thrilled to say that I’m now down a total of  55.1 lbs.  I started my weightloss journey the first week of May so I know the only difference between succeeding and past failures is your vest.  It has totally kicked up my metabolism in general and that is an awesome thing!
 
I’m still looking to lose about 17 more lbs (I’m 5’ 3”), yet at the same time, I’m also trying to teach myself how to live at this weight without regaining.  
 
I hope all is going well with you and of course….thank you once again.
Sincerely,
Nancy K

Hi Debbie!  I received my new ‘SMALL’ Walkvest (and more CD’s)!  I am wearing it as I write this e-mail. When I started my weight loss and shape-up journey a year ago, I was 77 lbs. heavier and wore an XL Walkvest.  I never thought I would be wearing a Small one!  I absolutely love your Walkvest and attribute it,

along with eating responsibly, for my weight loss and new size.  I began feeling like an old grandma at 57 and now I feel like a groovy new young ‘Gammy’ (sic ‘Seinfeld’)!  I wear the Walkvest during the day while working from my home, going up and down the stairs a million times during the day.  I also wear it every day on the treadmill for my 30-minute walk and when my husband Bill and I walk on the beach I wear it too. I have never stayed on a program for this long - I feel like my young athletic self. I started out with only 4 lbs of weight in my Walkvest and going about 15 minutes a day on my treadmill. Now my Walkvest is full of weight and I am walking at least 30 minutes every day. I started at 252 lbs.  I am now down to 175 lbs. and haven’t been this thin or in shape for years.  I barely squeezed my overly ample keester into size 24 pants a year ago, but now I am wearing a size 10! I still have 6 more lbs. to lose to get to my goal and I have no doubt I will be there soon. The Walkvest makes me feel invincible when I wear it…sort of like a suit of armor or that I’m ready to do battle with my bulge.   Health and wellbeing isn’t an option for me, it is a requirement. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Debbie, for inventing the Walkvest.  I couldn’t have done this without you.   
Warmest personal regards from your biggest fan,

Gail S

Hey Debbie

Just can’t thank you enough for the Walkvest!

I’ve gone from a size 12 (so embarrassed to admit that!) to a size 2!!  I’ve just ordered my second set of weights and will be adding them to my vest the minute they arrive! I’ve lost 35 pounds using your Walkvest! I work in the broadcast industry as an on camera talent and it’s critical to keep my weight down if I want to keep working. I’ve battled my weight all my life and this truly is the first piece of workout equipment that I’ve use consistently. And it’s easy! First thing every morning, I slip on the weighted vest, jump into my walking shoes and hit the road for a 2 mile walk. It takes less than 30 minutes and it really gets the day off to a great start! Here’s the thing. You can get nice results from walking. You can get GREAT results from walking with the Walkvest. It adds just the right amount of resistance. I am really strong now and my legs look great! When you’re ready, you can add another 4 pounds and respark the program all over again. I look better on camera now than I have in years! Just wanted to thank you Debbie—I love the Debbie Rocker Walkvest!

Sincerely, Vicki

Just wanted to drop a note to Debbie...
Hi, My name is Nancy.
I am a mom of two, Jake & Kierra. and I really needed a workout program that I can actually get results from, one that I can start at zero and build with and do in a very short as I don't have hardly any time to spare. I am thrilled that you have delivered!!!! Your Walkvest and videos are perfect and I am happy to say that I have already lost 26 lbs.
My additional Walkvest weights are on order & I can hardly wait to see the progress as I add on. Please create more in-home DVD's I already have every single one. In closing, I would like to thank you, "my coach" for creating an awesome system; you are changing my life tremendously, and the life of my family. I haven't felt this great in years. You'll be hearing from me again in the future with my progress!
Sincerely,
Nancy

Dear Debbie –
Just a quick note to tell you some great news about my progress so far -I have been using the Walkvest now for 14 weeks and I have lost a whopping 44.5 lbs.  I follow an eating plan but I would never do cardio before, and now would never do cardio without my vest! People are amazed at the changes. I started at 222.5 lbs and I'm down to 177.0!!! Not a diet pill, no surgery, just walking /jogging spurts with your vest and good eating habits!  
 
There really are no appropriate words to express my gratitude however; I truly thank you for what you have given me.  (I'm going to have to order a medium vest soon because the large is starting to fall off...woo hoo!!!!!!)
I'm still a work in progress and will update again in the future!
Sincerely,
Nancy

Connie, Avondale Arizona -
I just received my walkvest and absolutely love it.  I showed my son, who is 19 and probably has about 2% fat on him.  He works out all the time and was so excited when he put the vest on.  Told me "Mom, this is awsome, can I wear this?"   He plans on wearing it while playing basketball to increase his work out. 
I am going to purchase 2 more vests, one for my daughter and one for my son for Christmas.
I also plan on purchasing extra weights for my son.
Great, great product, thanks.  I am planning on showing everyone I know

Hi Debbie,
Thank you for being so wonderful!
I LOVE my Walkvest.  I didn't know this existed before I saw Valerie Bertinelli put it on, when she was interviewed on Oprah, a while back. I immediately loved the concept of a Walkvest and had to have one.  I received mine a couple of weeks ago and I use it six out of seven days.  I am 5' 1" and 30 pounds overweight, 53 years old.  I am in good health, love to exercise, but over the past year or so I haven't been very motivated. When I saw the scale had tipped to 155, I knew I needed something really good that would keep my interest.  
Two weeks ago, I put on your Walkvest, downloaded your CD to my iPod and took off walking.  The first time out, I did two miles, using all 4 lbs that came with my vest.  Not difficult and not too far for me to walk. I loved listening your beginner's CD.  It was easy to follow, keep up with the beat, breathe, walk, and just follow your direction. My own personal Coach, talking in my ear, every step of the way!! Love, love, love it. I now make this an "almost daily" routine. I am ready to order another 4 lbs. of weight to add to my vest.  And, I'm ready for your next CD.  
Thank you, Debbie, for such an incredible idea.  The Walkvest is comfortable, easy to wear, easy to move in, in fact I forget that I have it on, until I've taken it off. Then, I love feeling lighter instantly!!!!  Hee hee  I look forward to my new CD's and my additional weights!!
Thanks again ~
Very sincerely,
Kim

WHAT A WORKOUT!!!  
My Walkvest arrived this afternoon, I immediately went out to walk the hilly cul-de-sacs of my neighborhood. I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed that walk! I am looking forward to tomorrows walk and many more to come!
Thank you Debbie for such a wonderful product! Keep those companion CD's coming. Your gentle coaching made the walk pure joy and lots of work!!! BRAVO!
 
Sincerely,

Hi Debbie and Crew!
Just wanted to let you know that I have been using the Walkvest for about 1 month.  I have rheumatoid arthritis and need to walk daily to keep my muscles strong and my joints limber.  The Walkvest has helped me get stronger without adding to my daily walk time - and on top of that, I've lost about 7 pounds!  I plan to add more weight soon to keep getting stronger.  Thanks for a terrific product

Bergeron, Heidi -
I’m sure I will be ordering another set of weights and the Intermediate CD soon, I’ve just recently switched from 2 lbs. up to 4 lbs.! Your Walkvest is such a great idea, and I’m definitely getting so much more out of my morning walks with my dog!  I also really look forward to them (even though I’m not thrilled about getting up at 5:15 a.m., but a full-time working mother does what she has to do!)  I enjoy that alone time with my dog and your CD is very motivational.  I know I’m getting my “money’s worth” out of my walk each morning, and it’s satisfying to know that I’m getting a more beneficial workout with the Walkvest.
 
Thanks again for helping so many people in their quest to get in shape!

Hi Debbie…
I am a size 8 for the first time in 25 years! I am turning 49 in October, and am considering training for a half marathon in December!  My favorite cardio to do is walking in my Walkvest, which I have been doing 5-6 times a week, for 1 hour. Even if I don’t really feel like working out, I tell myself that all I have to do is 30 minutes.  Of course, once I get going, I feel great, and go for the full hour. I now have all 16# in the vest. 
I just wanted you to know about your impact on my health and the difference you are making.
Blessings,
Lynn B

Hello, I've had my Walkvest for about a month now and I have to say it's truly amazing! I love working out in it and I wear it for running errands and walking my dog too. When I received the vest it came with the beginners audio CD. It’s great and such a wonderful way to get my exercise in and I don't have to go to a gym. Thank you for an excellent product and excellent coach that keeps me motivated! Sincerely, Yoko K

I wanted to tell you that I have been using the vest for about a month or so and I cannot tell you the difference in my body.  I am so amazed with the results. I have tried every diet known to man and every exercise gadget known to man. When I purchased your vest my husband just kind of rolled his eyes with that look of "here we go again another weight loss thing that won't work". But this one is. I am only up to 8 lbs in my vest but I cannot get over the work out I get from the vest.
I have a follow up with my orthopedic doctor in a few months and I cannot wait for him to see the weight shift and how well my back is responding. He wanted to do surgery but I do not feel I need it now. I have told my doctor of your vest and how it is helping me and he wants me to bring it when I come. YEAH!!!! I cannot thank you enough for creating such a wonderful tool to help motivate someone to exercise. I can honestly say that I hate to work out but walking with the vest is something I can do. It is a domino effect. You start out walking and seeing results so it makes you want to keep going and makes you want to do other things to help your health. Walking alone does not get the results that I see with using the vest.
I have a long list of surgeries in the past 5 years (5 of them) health issues and I am only 40, so for me your vest has started me on the path to healing inside and out. Debbie, I am not sure if you understand how much you have changed my life. I can tell that you REALLY CARE.  Debbie Rocker YOU ROCK. LOL
My husband and I walked last night and I cannot get over his stomach. He is not heavy by any means but he is getting a six-pack and in our 23 years of marriage I have never seen him look so good and he is 45. So thank you. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I will keep you informed with the progress. I will do before and after photos for you.
Be well,
CJ H

My daughter and I love the vest!!
We walk in them in the neighborhood, but also work out doing cardio @ the gym with the Walkvest. My daughter prefers the treadmill, and love a machine by Cybex called the arc trainer.  
 
Thanks

That is so awesome to get a reply back from the author of the book that
I am reading! I love that. :) I purchased the book with the CD in it and I
am so happy with both. I am using the CD to walk even without the vest and getting a good workout, but I can hardly wait until I can add Walkvest to my weight loss program. Thank you again for the help, along with the personal response. Smiles.
