Elliptical
Anybody have any success with an elliptical that can be bought for under $500? They all seem to have issues with durability, but I just can't afford anything more than $500 for one. I have a treadmill at home and use it, but I really want an elliptical to maximize my time. Any suggestions?

Basement shopping for "new" clothes
Went shopping in the basement for some clothes yesterday. I found several bags of old clothes that I haven't been able to wear in close to 10 years. As I starting trying things on and more and more of them fit, it almost became too much. Very emotional. I had donated most of my old clothes to charity because I knew I would…

Hello wall. I was wondering when I would hit you.
Okay, so maybe I haven't really hit a wall, but definitely a speed bump. My weight loss has slowed down in the past few weeks to where I just lost one pound in the past week. I'm thrilled with my loss so far, but now I have to figure out how to keep up the momentum. I've already felt myself getting discouraged and I am…

I was eating crap I didn't like and always felt hungry and once I hit 20 pounds my points dropped again and I just said "forget it". That…

A little history and my six week success!
What's my story? Pull up a chair.... I've always been fat. Well, except for those few years in high school when I had a growth spurt and finally "grew into my body". Those were good times. Of course, my body caught back up to my height and all those new clothes no longer fit. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. See that…

Kinect kicked my butt!
Last night i fired up Your Shape Fitness Evolved for the Kinect and did two sessions of cardio boxing and a session of toning and stretching and I sure do feel it this morning. I probably spent about 20 minutes all together doing everything and burned about 150 calories. Both sessions were beginner sessions so they weren't…

New and need excercise tips for a couch potato!
I'm six weeks in and have settled into a nice groove on what I'm eating and keeping track of my calories. I've already lost 19 pounds and feeling pretty good. However, I know that a wall is coming and I will soundly hit it if I don't incorporate excercise into my daily routine. I have a treadmill/clothes hanger at home and…
