Hi Tony: My name is Lori and I am 40 years old. I received my Gazelle Freestyle in October, 2006. After nine days with no results I was not ready to give up. How could I ever justify to my husband, who was working out of town, that I had purchased a glorified coat rack? So, I made use of the personal trainer hot line, best call I ever made. She patiently asked me what I was eating. How much and how often I was eating? She suggested that I eat six mini meals a day and up my calories by 2 to 300 more food. Yea!!! The very next day, I began noticing the weight started coming off at a quick steady rate that even my doctor approved of and by January 1st. I had lost 36 pounds and took my after photos but now in March, I?ve lost a total of 50 pounds, just 5 from my goal of 135 pounds that I had set for myself. How many people ever get to say that? Two important things I tell everyone I see at the girls gym I clean for and think myself, MAN I didn’t have to work half that hard on my Gazelle! I have tried cardio machines in the past and if I had ordered anything else, I would have failed. The Gazelle is so much fun with zero impact; it’s a piece of cake. My new saying isn’t “git-er-done”, it’s “got-err-done”. “Oh Yea!” Thanks Tony for the Gazelle and the personal trainers’ help. I’m back to my high school weight again. Thanks, Lori - Utah
