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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
