I swear by this machine! I am on it every single day. I also have 2lb weights I do upper body exercise too when I am finished on my gazelle edge. I have lost a lot of inches on my waist, hips, thighs, and legs doing the gazelle edge.

The best part about this machine it folds for in the closet storage. This machine is sold out practically everywhere, I did find it on Amazon in stock now : http://www.amazon.com/Gazelle-1285-Edge/dp/B0000AS7W2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356725743&sr=8-1&keywords=tony+little+gazelle+edge

I love the wii, there are so many different fitness programs to shake it up and you really burn cals!! Also dance ones like zumba which also tell you cals.

I live in a small flat and i get borred walking, so this is great, even on the hot summer days at the moment i have the fan directly on me and my daily goal is a min of 200cals, even if its over 2 sessions. I cant afford the gym and you can get the games cheap 2nd hand at game shops and ebay.

Tony Horton's(Beachbody.com) 10 minute exercise is fairly inexpensive and gives you a good workout without spending a fortune on equipment.

Patti, I'm interested in this machine as I had to sell my Elliptical when I moved in with my mom after my divorce last year and I moved in with her this past June and we are limited on space, yikes! I was wanting to know if you could tell me how it folds up and what the measurements are when it folds up? I've looked at it on Amazon and it doesn't show it folded up??? I do have a closet to put it in and room to pull it out and work out in my bedroom. This sounds like something I would like to have and do here at home and great workout for me and not so much impact on my knee.

Thx

Donna

Hi Donna, I initially purchased this when I had problems with my hips. I have degenerative arthritis in my hips, my right hip is completely replaced and my left hip is going as well.Its just a matter of time before I have another hip replaced. ugh!! anyway, this machine is the best best ever on my joints. it keeps not only my old hip moving, but my new one as well. They said keeping the joints moving is the best thing for arthritis. I love this machine, believe me you feel like its doing nothing, but losing lots of inches don;t lie!! and my joints feel so much better!

I will take a pic for you with my folded just for ya,.............

Wow!! Such helpful advice!! Thank you Patti! I always wanted to try the gazelle, but I wasn't sure. I'm 278 lbs now, can it hold my weight? Also, how smoothly does it operate? Does it shake alot? I heard some reviews that it was.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
