I think I mentioned this the last time Alice posted this but I am currently half-way through this study and it has really held me accountable for exercising.  Since going back to school this week, my schedule has changed and I usually at this point would quit altogether.  Being in this study makes me find another way to exercise.  Knowing I'm getting some money at the end of all of this is great but finding out that my heart is healthy and some other results from tests they do is also a plus.  Anyone interested in it and want more first hand info, pm me.
