    Every little bit helps, 1 minute on the elliptical is great because it has the potential to turn into 2 minutes, then 20, then 45. These calories spent will give you more freedom and choices when it comes to food. When you notice how you can eat anything you want within reason and not be hungry but still lose weight, those 20 minutes may mean the difference between quitting within a month or sticking to it long enough to reach your goals.

    I have a question ..... so I have a knee injury that never healed correctly.... so its hard for me to go on the treadmill and try jogging for any amount of time.... is being on an elliptical just as good? Considering I can't go faster then 3.5mph on a treadmill but can ALWAYS stay anywhere from 4.3mph-5.2mph?

    Don't be afraid to start small just be afraid to stay there.


    That is the best advice i've read since I started my exercise / diet journey. Truly inspirational quote. :-)
