Yeah pretty serious! Let me talk to Kenny about price and all that......

The thing is..... I'll be honest.... it's really nice we paid like $700 for it and it has an ipod docking station and the option to play games on it while working out..... but it has a manual balancing thing..... where you have to balance it on your floor..... it's a PAIN IN THE ASS! We never got it perfect for us...... I mean you can still work out on it and it works fine..... but that ALWAYS drove me NUTS!!!! But I'm a perfectionist..... and didn't have the time to fiddle with it.

You can come over and try it so you can see what I'm talking about. It still works perfectly..... that just drove me crazy..... but you know, then again, it could just be because I was used to the AWESOME ones they have at the gym that are like $2,000 machines! ROFL

that may have something to do with it! lol

by **Jeannette** Thu Feb 25, 2010 9:34 am

Woohoo!

I don't have an ipod...is it possible to plug in other things? This badboy would get put in the living room right in front of the tv. lol

I'm not sure what this balancing thing is... giggle

I think of little knobs on the bottom that you screw in or out to level it (like a table ROFL

)

Does this one have lotsa buttons? lol

I might have to come over if you guys are serious! If not its ok! I was contemplating finding an exercise equipment store...or even seeing what Dicks or maybe Walmart has.

That's exactly what it has!!!! little discs/knobs on the bottom to level! they are REALLY annoying...... but I'll be honest I did NOT spend a lot of time trying to fix it! I gave up after about 5 minutes and used it anyway! LMAO

I'll talk to Kenny tonight and let you know. I honestly maybe used it 4 times..... total.

by **Jeannette** Thu Feb 25, 2010 9:39 am

The elliptical was how I lost so much weight when Jon was in bootcamp 2 years ago. I was on that bad boy EVERYDAY for a half hour minimum. I lost 30 pounds in 3 months!

ROFL

You can't level it even with the knobs? lol

What about sugar packets? LMAO

by **LaDonna** Thu Feb 25, 2010 9:43 am

I know right?????? I feel like an epic failure! hahahahaha

by **Jeannette** Thu Feb 25, 2010 9:47 am

I totally read "epileptic" instead of epic failure. ROFL

You're ok. But I'll be sure to take a picture when I level it 100% LMAO

by **LaDonna** Thu Feb 25, 2010 9:58 am

I know and then Kenny will give me grief....... "why couldn't you do that LaDonna?" Because I suck!

I started it back up last night.

After a week of not doing it, I felt fat and squishy again. lol

I liked how I was starting to look, even though it was small and not very noticeable... I gotta get rid of this gut!

I'm back on the Shred officially. teehee

by **Tate** Mon Mar 08, 2010 10:54 am

Good for you! I will hopefully start going back to the gym on Wednesday!

by **Jeannette** Mon Mar 08, 2010 11:03 am

You better. spank

I need to make a cd or something though. I can't stand listening to Jillian anymore. I want to turn the sound off and listen to something else.

I just need to. I'm down to 175 +/- but that's not enough. Even with my frame, I need to drop like 20 pounds. I have too short of a torso to be this wide. lol

My hourglass has turned into a pear. lol

by **Tate** Mon Mar 08, 2010 11:05 am

No worries as long as my head doesn't feel like a giant balloon Wednesday!

I crank my iphone UP when I am in the gym...of course I also check text messages, get on the internet etc. while I'm working it out on the treadmill lol

by **Jeannette** Mon Mar 08, 2010 12:09 pm

I'm not coordinated enough to mess with gizmos while working out...I'd bust my ass off the elliptical or something...

I just want to turn on the radio. lol

Everybody cut footloose...footloose...kick off your Sunday shoes... LMAO

by **Tate** Mon Mar 08, 2010 12:49 pm

Oh yeah I couldn't even pick up my phone while I was on the elliptical LMAO

I dropped my phone and everything. So embarrassing. Everyone was probably thinking "Newbie".

With the iPhone you get nifty ear phones that you just click the microphone on the ear phones and it changes the song! I mean its one of those things that you wouldn't know unless you google it lol

It makes it so easy for changing songs though.

by **Jeannette** Mon Mar 08, 2010 1:53 pm

Oh that's neat! I just discovered that I could put my headphones in my phone... So...I've been listening to youtube songs all afternoon...going to kill me battery but...meh!

It's so beautiful out today! I might even take everyone for a walk after work if it's still this warm.

by **Tate** Mon Mar 08, 2010 2:38 pm

Feels SO nice outside finally!

by **Jeannette** Mon Mar 08, 2010 2:43 pm

I know!!! I'm loving this!!!

by **LaDonna** Mon Mar 08, 2010 5:19 pm

Dude I'm starting back tonight after being sick since Valentine's Day Official 30-Day Shred Weigh-In Thread! - Page 12 6993

and I am NOT looking forward to it.

by **LaDonna** Wed Mar 10, 2010 9:22 am

Jeannette..... talked to Kenny last night..... he paid $950 for our elliptical and he wants $600 for it...... Sounds high to me... so I totally understand if it's out of your budget range.... but FYI

by **Jeannette** Wed Mar 10, 2010 11:11 am

Is it the one with the buttons or a cheapy one? How bulky is it? (got a pic?)

If it's the fancy one with buttons and yada yada, I can understand the price.

Let me know and I'll talk to Jon and see what he says. It's not totally out of range for me.

by **Jeannette** Wed Mar 10, 2010 11:13 am

I'm on day 3 since starting back up. I've missed Jillian...well the workout, not her. I mute her and play music instead. lol

Much more motivating.

I'm sore...but motivated. I'm tired of the jiggle! It's not fair for Jon to be fit and me flab.

He says that he's been working on his SWSO (pronounced swooso) body. LMAO

Since he's from WI and his buddy is from Maine, it's their "Shovel Without Shirt On" workout. ROFL

by **LaDonna** Wed Mar 10, 2010 11:14 am

It's a nice one I think..... it has work-out programs on it that you can choose from, it's digital so it tracks your calories and your distance, it has little games on it that you can play while working out, and it has an ipod docking station so that the music comes out of the built-in speakers directly from your ipod

It's not too bulky, but like I said I don't really know if it can be taken down to store somewhere else..... and the balancing thing, I never really got! I can take pictures tonight!

by **Jeannette** Wed Mar 10, 2010 11:17 am

Ya if you don't mind, take a picture and I'll talk to Jon and see what he says. He doesn't know/care about the cost because I handle the finances. The man wouldn't know if we had gold bars under the bed.

His thing might just be "wait til I get home and then you can go", so I'll have to see.

I had a mini talk with him about getting one a while back and I had said..."Going to the gym would be great but I'm not home enough the way it is. Also, he's only home on weekends when stateside. Sooooo that's LESS time we have together. At least in the house, we can watch a movie together while I workout or something. lol
