Hey Ya'll I'm new here today!!!

Wow! 75 lbs! Great job! Friend me, I'd love to stay in touch. I'm older and don't have much to lose but it's soo much harder when you are mature and close to your goal. I measure every 10th of a pound as a victory. I am looking for people who are wanting to be really active on the site to keep me honed in. Oh, btw, Welcome!

Love this machine. I do intervals for 50-60 min and it says I burn 1000-1200 calories spanning 11-13mi +/- depending on my settings and energy for that day. I weigh 217 right now vs 214 (grrr) and I am 6'2" so don't freak about my lofty female stats;) I usually do an avg speed of 77-90...I should slow down during rest interval level 7 but need to talk to my personal trainer and finally splurge for a iwatch or the fit bit that can go in the pool for those cross training workouts & PT as I need to get a handle on maximizing my aerobic & evaluating my anerobic HR etc.

I was pre-360 spinal fusion and TKR and used it per above for two years. Post surgery (both within 6mo & 1yr recovery each) I hopped on this asap as the most comfortable.

I constantly adjust the seat, never use the handles (I hard lift days btwn cardio so my arms need rest). I also adjust resistance if my intervals are off a bit per energy plus I don't look down and move my feet everywhere like dancing to work my neuro coordination and work the little muscles vs just the big/primary.

Friend me!!! I will let u know what my trainer, new watch and sports nutritionist say!
