Dearest Tony: I can’t thank you enough for giving me back my life. I am a 37 year old mother of 2 and I have struggled with weight loss since the birth of my second child in 1995. I’ve tried this diet and probably that one too, but it was the day that my son went to hug me and said, “Mom I can’t put my arms around you”. I was mortified none the less, I couldn’t believe that I had let myself go and never thought twice about it until that day. It was then that I decided it was time to get myself back together and get my life back. I wanted to be able to run and dance with my children and my husband. So, I went to the garage and dusted off my Gazelle and set it up in the living room. I started out with 10 minutes a day for the 1st. week and then each week I would add a few more minutes until I had worked myself up to working out for 45 minutes a day 5 days a week if not 6. I started to notice that my clothes were fitting differently and pants were starting to sag. Thus far, I have dropped from a pants size of 18/20 to a 12 and I am still working on more. I have lost since March, 2006 41.5 inches and between 60-70 pounds. I can’t say enough good things about this machine. I am all the time telling everyone that it really works if you make the effort and get on it. My whole outlook on life is so much brighter. My son now measures up his arm how far I’ve come when he wraps them around me. It makes me so happy. Again, thank you for putting the pep back in my step. Happier and Healthier, Tracy
