Hej Deb,
Courage to you!
I HAVE to go on it - will start 11th August (when I'm back from staying with relatives) - too much temptation around here!
Good for you pal! 4 pounds IS 4 pounds!
Cheers for now,
Vim

Just wait soon you will be doing 30 minutes or longer on that thing. The 1st few times I was on it I thought I was going to die after 5 min. I got up to 45 min at a time, but I haven't been working out so after the baby I'm sure I will have to start at ground zero again.

That seems weird Deb. I thought you had to take 4 classes to qualify for financial aide. I was lucky that financial aide and scholarships paid for my Bachelors. Unfortunately my masters was $40,000 and financial aide doesn't pay for that. Waaaaaaaaaaaah *cries*

Maybe they've changed the rules.
