March 17, 2005 Dear Tony: My name is Linda Gagliardi and I am 34 years old. I live in Brampton, Ontario Canada. Words cannot even begin to express my gratitude towards you for motivating me to exercise again! I have been struggling with my weight for several years. I wasn’t always fat in my life time but after hitting a depression, I turned to food for comfort and I became an emotional eater. It began to get out of control and then I hit an all time low. I weighted 270 pounds at 5 feet 4 inches and I was at my biggest! One year ago for Christmas, my husband bought me the Gazelle Freestyle X-treme. It was the best gift I ever got! Tony, you inspired me to do something about it and get healthy again. I love your spirit, it is so invigorating and you have such a zest for life! Your positive attitude helped me to realize that it is not what happens to you in life but rather how you respond to what happens to you that matters. I could not believe how much fun I have working out on the Gazelle and how easy it is to do. I have it in my living room, right in front of the TV and it has become part of my furniture1!! I always watch you on The Shopping Channel here in Canada and I always look forward to seeing what exciting new products you have to offer. When my friends and family members saw the successful results I achieved with your product, some of them were also inspired to purchase the Gazelle. They were sold when they could hardly recognize the new me. After following a healthy diet program under a doctor’s supervision and exercising with you on a daily basis with my amazing Gazelle, I lost over 100 pounds!!!! I am so excited to have my passion for life back! Tony I want to thank you once again and let you know that here in CANADA, WE LOVE YOU!!!! I have enclosed my before and after photos. I would love for you to use my photos to inspire someone else out there! May God continue to bless you and use your life to touch so many other people out there! All the best to you in your future endeavors! Much Love, Linda - Brampton, Ontario
