Your definition = lose weight

And I wasn't being negative. Chill.

Tony Little - Detail
Price: $199.99
holds up to 300 pound

Tony Little - Detail
Price: $99.95
. The Edge holds up to 250 pounds

Price and weight limit seem to be the biggest difference...

but from what i've seen they're both a waste of money - you can get a better workout by walking...

I lift weights but have an injured shoulder. So I've had to lay off that for awhile and am using the Gazelle. Anyone use it and, if so, does it help with cardio and weight loss?

Jogging or Biking is a better idea!

Anyway, people have been telling me that this machine is not sufficient enough for fat loss.
So anyway, I tested it out with my heart rate monitor and did a 30 minute cardio workout on it and I easily met 150 beats per minute and I could have easily have gone higher. That is well above my elevated heart rate for fat burning, so in my opinion, it is sufficient enough for fat loss as it has proven to elevate the heart to the proper zone. professionals say all we need to do for proper cardio is elevate our heart rate fast enough to meet our personal fat burning zone, and this machine past the test. To tell you the truth, I think almost anything that helps us move fast will do the trick. A lot of people believe it has to be a machine where you can make it really hard to move and so on, but if that is what they want, there not trying to burn fat, they are wanting to tone and build muscle or work on endurance, not fat loss. We just need to elevate our heart for proper fat loss.
Any opinions regarding this machine and other comments are welcome. Thank you.

I have bad knees and this is one of the few things I can safely do. I too use a heart rate monitor and it does indeed give you a cardio workout. I take medication that keeps my heart rate slower than most people's would be. But it still raises it considerably.

I think a lot depends on how you use it. I think for weight loss you get better results with resistance. But a certain amount of cardio is needed. With resistance, however, your body continues to burn fat 24 hours after you workout. Not so with any kind of cardio.
