I've lost two inches on my waist while putting on ten pounds. Yesterday, however, was my greatest motivation. There is a grill in my driveway that I tries to move a year ago (when my family and I moved into the house) without success - too heavy. Last week my wife asked a 'handiman/gardner' to attempt to move it - he refused said that it 'looks' too heavy. Well (you know the rest of the story) yesterday I decided to give it a try again. No problem - moved it with ease - felt good. I have not been a frequent 'talker' on freetrainers but I've been visiting the message board daily - Thanks to all for the advise and the inspiration. Keep up the good work. My new goals two more inches and five pounds in the next three months. A Merry and Blessed Christmas to all
