Here's one place that has them, they are very expensive but if you do a search on the web, maybe you'll find them cheaper. How about the classifieds in your local paper, some one might be selling one used and alot cheaper.

Isn't that aggravating? I mean the folks that need and want to exercise can't get the equipment they want at a reasonable price. I know when I looked at certain equipment I wanted the weight limit was rediculously low. I ended up with a NordicTrack stationary bike and going to curves for the resistance training. Good luck with your search and congrats on making the exercise a priority.

You know whats a pretty decent start out DVD, Walk Away The Pounds, its about $25 - $30 and it simulates walking without leaving your home. I know lots of people who really like it. I'm pretty sure Walmart sells them. There's 1, 2 or 3 miles.

This maybe a place to start until you can find your treadmill.

See....this is why we need an exercise board.

You know we just got a weight bench and heavy bag at sports authority. While I was in there they had some pretty good sales going on. You might want to check them out! And I know they have stuff for bigger sizes. Do not go to sears... their stuff is not only way overpriced, but total crap! LOL
