I have a ProForm XP 160 elliptical. It's from the same company that owns Nordictrack. It's very sturdy. Holds up to 275 lbs. It counts calories burned, carbs burned, distance, etc. It has quite a few different workout programs and built in fan. There's more though. I can't remember everything off hand. I paid 700 for it, but that was about 3 years ago. An elliptical similar to this should run around 300-400. Proform.com usually runs specials each month, with free shipping as well.

Hello,

We have a precor elliptical machine. It cost around 4000 or so. The ramp goes up and down which my husband and I both love.

We use it mostly everyday between the two of us and have had it for about 3 years without any trouble.

We would buy it again.

I don't own one but the gym I go to has about 8 different kinds. I have tried all of them and some I hate and one I love. My advice it to try it out. If you are going to spend that kind of money you need to be real sure you like the one you get. All the ones at the gym are very nice and very expensive but I wouldn't give a dime for some of them.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
