Snoopy, thank you! I will talk again with my husband and stress those things you have said. His loosing weight will take quite some time since he can't exercise because of his back. That's why I keep telling him he needs to get that machine. Thank you for telling the name of it! He has been very sluggish and lethargic and it is getting worse every day. His health is not very good and I'm so afraid. We have a "date" on Saturday night so I'll bring it up then if he's in a good mood! Wish me luck.
