Small success

lorriefagan

I started this weight loss journey 5 weeks ago when my husband and I bought an elliptical machine. I finally decided it was time to lose the 60 lbs I need to to be healthy. At first it took everything in me to stay on for 15 minutes at a time without keeling over. Now I am proud to say that I can stay on for 30 minutes twice a day without feeling overly tired and at a faster pace! I am loving this new me!!!

I think the elliptical is such a great calorie burner!!! I use it as my base cardio workout. I also run, but I've healing from an ACL injury and cant run that much right now! MFP is also a great tool for you to use!! Congrats on your success so far and keep up the good work!

Great job! I love my elliptical too. I also remember the days when I couldn't go for more than 5 or 10 minutes and thinking that I had just spent a large sum of money on a piece of equipment that I couldn't use. Now I go for an hour sometimes and feel sooo good when I look at the calories and carbs I have burned :bigsmile:
Congratulations on your choice to be healthy and your success. :flowerforyou:

Thanks...I am almost finished the first cycle of the 17 Day Diet and loving it!! MFP has also really helped make me accountable to what I eat.

Yes it very smooth. I love it! I have a mild problem with my left knee and it doesn't bother it at all.
