213 lbs this morning. Drinking 1 1/2 gallons of water, eating light, and a couple good workouts all combined to flush the crud/sodium/whatever out of my body I guess. Whatever, I'm happy with the loss.
Question - has anyone used or have The Total Gym, and if so is it any good? I think it's the exercise machine that Christie Brinkley and Chuck Norris promoted. I was wanting to get some free weights and a weight bench, my wife wants a Total Gym. Can you get decent strength training from the Total Gym that's comparable to weights? Thanks for any input...TGIF!!

Way to go!!! I'm really impressed with the amount of water you drank! And any & all loss is a good thing. Keep up the good work.
As for the exercise equipment.....I try to ignore that it exists. :o)

Hobobeaver, the only problem with drinking that much water is the trips to the bathroom throughout the night. But it sure did do it's job!

I have the total gym, mine is an older model Total Gym XL and it is amazing. Ours is very heavy duty but I'm not sure if the new ones are...they seems much lighter weight when i see them on TV. You won't go wrong with it...my husband loves it.

Nice drop.I can remember seeing that infomercial a few years back with Chuck Norris not sure if it is the same machine.Get yourself a set of dumbbells that you can add weight to and a bench to start.You can get an awesome workout with just that basic equipment.Check youtube all kinds of videos on dumbbell workouts.

Way to go Jim. I have a friend who has been using the total Gym for years she swears by it. The only time I have used one was rehabbing my knee after knee replacement it was bad at all.

Realstically nearly any gadget will work if you use it, they usually fail as people give up too fast... and expect bodies like thoe advertising it in 30 days (When the people advertising it have not only trained on many other machines, they also live and work in a gym)
I think most gadgets on tv work.. they are just not miracle producers, body change is slow

It's not a Total Gym, but I bought an Ultimate Body Works machine from Walmart last year for about $150. It does all the exercises of the Total Gym, is very sturdy and wears my a$$ out. Any of them will get you in good shape if you use it.
