    Getting very bored sitting at 12st 12lbs for the last month or whatever :roll:

    Bit of good news though: saw my lowest body fat percentage on the scales last night - which I do like :)

    Think I will make a concerted effort as of next week to try and reduce actual weight. Just difficult doing that and trying to up mileage at the same time.

    If I could be arsed or had the time i'd make this device just because it would make me laugh.

    Turbo sessions are dull we know but what if you had a mini "treat" conveyor belt calibrated to the calorie effort you are outputting, more effort equals quicker access to the prize then the realisation that everything you just did was cancelled out by your own lust for empty calories :wink:

    Of course the unit would need to be sealed perhaps even some kind of goal driven time lock, all doable :twisted:
