Hello, I started on this site 2 weeks ago and have been honest with the logging on my android app and seeing good results so far. I'm also wearing a fitbit one which if anything is just a motivator for me. Anyway, I'd like a little advice on how best to achieve my goal of a that good old flat stomach :) I know it's a long road ahead and that's fine, just needs some tips.

As of today I weigh 93.1Kg and have lost about a kilo a week which is what is predicted with MFP. I have just bought a new Nordictrack E9.2 E9.2 elliptical to replace my cheap Argos thing which broke multiple times (although i did weigh over 100Kg then).

I do a 500 calorie burn on the Elliptical every day, sometimes twice a day at weekends and my calorie intake is set for 1210 and I'm finding this easy to stick to. However I don't completely trust the elliptical, it has a Polar HRM but is 500 in 30 mins really possible? I'm certainly sweating enough.

So I read that I should be doing strength training as well. I have some dumb bells currently, is there any other equipment i need to get like kettle bells? and if so how many and what weight should i be looking at getting? Anyone have any recommended programs for home use. I dont have a lot of room and cant hang pull up bars from doorframes etc.

Thanks for reading

Andy

    Hey dude, im trying to lose about 20kg by the end of the year.
    due to a sports injury im unable to run, so my cardio is eliptical or bike, but most of my weight loss is through weight training.
