If you are not yet ready to start to eat less and exercise more - basically what all good diet and exercise plans boil down to, whatever they are called - then none of us can make you ready. You have to do it yourself. Find some sort of exercise you know you will enjoy enough to make it worth your while doing it, or enlist a friend or family member to go with you regularly. Perhaps you could swim, or ice-skate, or even just go for a brisk walk - does a neighbour have a dog who could use exercise? No point in just buying an expensive machine which will gather dust after the first week! -- Annabel Smyth http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/index.html Website updated 18 July 2004 |

... I am so not motivated - but I am thinking this is the place TO get motivated - correct??? The best way to get motivated is to start taking the first healthy step toward better habits. "Feeling follows action" as the saying goes -- it sounds backwards, but taking the action is what builds motivation, not the other way around. Great job in deciding to do something about the goals you want to reach. I'd suggest spending nothing instead of spending $$$ for the Gazelle, and try just walking 20 minutes at a time until you can work up to 30 and then 40. You don't need special equipment or fad diets -- eating less and exercising more really does work. Mary M 325-160-148 |

I used it for all of a few weeks and realized it was a waste of time and too much stress on the hips. Save your money and take a walk - seriously. Jenn |

I am thinking of getting The Gazelle machine ( the one that Tony Little advertises) Also starting Weight Watchers Anyone out there using this machine? I have a competing model sitting in the garage (CSR Healthwalker), from when there were about 5 brands being sold on TV a few years ago. I tried several models in stores, and at the time, the CSR was the least rickety. I got it at the time because it cost about 1/4 of what good treadmills were going for. The claims for these kinds of machines are way overstated IMO, and the onboard readouts typically claim to burn completely ridiculous amounts of calories. IMO, the handles don't do a damned thing for the arms unless you are specifically trying not to use your legs, and I feel like I get a better aerobic workout just marching and dancing around the living room than using that machine. And it was *really* boring, even setting it in front of the TV or propping a book on the front bar. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

Question....
Greetings and welcome.
I am thinking of getting The Gazelle machine ( the one that Tony Little advertises) Check your local newspaper or Pennysaver – plenty of people probably have the machine gathering dust in their homes or garages. But it's foolish to buy exercise equipment without trying it to see if you can do the movements required. Go with a friend, or get a free visit, to a local gym and try out different machines. Or is there any comments about Weight Watchers vs. other plans? alt.support.diet.weigh****chers Need to lose around 50-75 pounds, I am a 51 year old female, retired and very lazy It can be done. I am your age (turned 52 in June), female, retired in 2002 and started new job 5 weeks later. I have lost more than 100 pounds since October. I use fitday.com to count calories (1,500 calories avg daily) and I exercise for at least an hour most days. I am so not motivated - but I am thinking this is the place TO get motivated - correct??? As others have said, motivation can only come from you. What motivates one person means nothing to someone else. I am motivated by a desire to improve my health and quality of life. As always, YMMV.

one solution to not dieting more
I can't beleive that all u in usa are still fighting over weight without
knowing the cheapest & easyer mean .... all that are doing a low calories diet .... if u r following a 1000 or 1500 Kcal a day u'll stop loosing weight when ur body will keep the same amount of calories regime .... & then ???? so keep supplement that let u eat low calories but hig nutrient value ......is the solution to not let ur body stop methabolism .....
