Most definitely. Click on the link for all the details and a video from it's appearance on GMA.

The official model is a bit out of my price range ($4,000) but I can build one for under $1,000 including treadmill.

I'm doing WW and it's working quite well for me; I don't do well when I'm forbidden foods, so portion control makes me happy. I usually play games with a wireless controller when I'm on my treadmill -- it does take practice, though! So far, I'm 12 pounds down in about 6 weeks, YAY! And my goal is happier feet, too!

Congrats!

For me it's forbidden foods, but also being too good for too long. It becomes so tedious to have to look at the salads first in a restaurant ALL the time. What's worse is that when an opportunity arises to have rich foods, if I've been too strict, I'll just lose it and eat everything in sight.

That's a good idea- playing games while walking on the treadmill.

I used to work out 5-6 days a week, but I'm afraid I'll burn out goin that often, especially since my gym, as I learned for the first time today, is very crowded.

Does anyone else have issues with checking the scalle TOO often? I have to force myself to get on only once a week. I'm more likely to pay attention to overall behavior. If I get on every day, I tend to ignore a pound from day to day and not notice bad habits which are make that pound just stick around instead of being lost.

Sorry, I'm overposting! I'm gung ho right now because I've just started!

Ugh, no, my problem was with not weighing myself enough. I know that before when I lost weight, I would only enter one weight a week into my log, but, I would weigh myself often. It didn't count, really, but, it was just something to do to keep me in line.

So, since I hadn't weighed myself in about 2 years, I had a rude awakening when I did. I asked the nurse 'Is that metric?'

I do weigh myself daily now {not on WW or any really strict plan, I am just trying to stay alive right now...} because it slaps me back into reality...stay away from donuts and those potato chips!!! {and I love chocolate at night, too....}

Well Moonliner, even at that rate I am out of the running. But, it does make me really want to get the crap that is blocking my treadmill away from it.

I've been sick off and on since about August. I am really working on NOT getting sick again {not working much does keep my funds low but I am not as sick....} and hopefully I can get back on track with a good healthy workout.

DP~ I hear you. I want to be able to walk around anywhere I want when I am older.

Mmm...dinner is ready..okay, I won't over eat....promise...

Most of the price is for the Treadmill itself. If you already have the treadmill you can build the "desk" for less than $50 bucks, hell even for free if you get creative. An ironing board laid across the top of the treadmill can work. I just need something with a bit of spit and polish because I'm taking it into an office environment.

Oh...I see.

Well, sitting here thinking about it, I barely can keep on the treadmill without falling to the left or right....probably smarter to just pay attention.

Chips, I eat Lays' Baked chips as well as some pepper chips that are Vegan. Don't know if that makes them any better but damn, they are addictive.

I do try to eat fruit more than anything else.
