January 14, 2003 Hi Tony, I would like to share my story with you. I am a 49-year old woman, who for the last 25 years has lost and gained weight. I have tried many diets and as a result I have been a loser-gainer. Well I decided a few years ago that I would never diet again. I would accept who I was and how I looked. At 49 my body was beginning to go through more changes as is natural. So I started thinking about my health and what I needed to stay healthy. While watching the Canadian Shopping Channel one day I saw you and the Gazelle. So I watched you and the Gazelle for some time and thought that looks interesting. So I purchased one. Last October when the clocks changed, I thought you know I?m used to getting up at 6:30 a.m. why not get up and use the Gazelle. So I did and I still do every morning now for the last 14 months. I didn?t realize what changes were happening because it was effortless and I felt great. It didn?t matter how tired I was it still invigorated me. I lost 25 pounds before I realized what was happening and the weight continued to just fall off. One year later I have lost 40 pounds. People are asking: What did you do and how did you do it? You are the shrinking woman! Some people don't even recognize me. What is so amazing is that I didn't diet. Somewhere along the way my eating habits changed and I started eating healthier. I eat what ever I want now; it's just different. When I went for my physical this year my MD was so impressed, my B/P was lower, my B/S was in a better range and so was my cholesterol. That was my original plan when I first stepped on the Gazelle. My weight loss and new image are an amazing bonus. I have many people ask how I have done this; they say "Are you dieting?" I say no. I am using the Gazelle everyday for twenty minutes!! They can't believe that, only twenty minutes. Everyone wants to know about the Gazelle and I can't tell them enough good things about it. Women are telling me that I am an inspiration to them, no more dieting. I found some before pictures of me and I would like you to see them and use them. My son said to me recently, "Mom turn sideways." "where did you go?" I really want to promote the Gazelle as effortless, enjoyable and a doable healthy lifestyle change that has become part of my everyday life. Thank you Michelle/happier, healthier at 49
