At least here in Boulder, decent quality treadmills pop up on Craigslist fairly regularly and are usually in the $100-$150 range. Even the city recreation centers cost about $40 a month for a membership, so it's a good deal! @Lucy, I completely agree with you.

I am forever feeling guilty about not making use of my gym membership, but I think I may as well drop the membership and invest in a treadmill for my home office! I guess it's not so much about losing weight, but staying healthy and active. Excellent idea Corinne! I absolutely love this idea!

Congratulations! However, I'm worried about the long-term ramifications of losing 50 pounds per year. (My current weight is only 170 pounds, and I'm still about 20 years away from retirement.)

I'd never have imagined it would work for someone who has to read and write a lot. I'll be following your progress. And I'm curious to see if it makes you more productive by getting those creative juices going in the brain better through improved circulation.
