I've started training to run but it hurts my knees so bad! I want to get an elliptical and I'd like to get a weight machine for the home too. There isn't a good gym close by and I don't want an excuse anymore. Any suggestions on home gyms or ellipticals?

Gazelle Edge Trainer

I swear by this machine! Don't worry about the restricted weight usage, It holds me up and I am wayyyyy over the weight limit! This is the best workout without the heavy duty joint impact you feel on all those other machines used at the gym. I have severe arthritis in my left hip, my right hip was totally replaced years ago. So, I would highly recommend this to anyone with any joint pain, replacements, or is limited to doing exercise.

You can find it anywhere, Walmart, target, kmart, etc. .. do a google search for it. It can be found on Walmart.com at $99.00 but currently it is all sold out!! Thats because people everywhere are catching on. Don't worry you will get a good full body work out on this, believe me!!! Read the reviews and see why everyone is hooked!

I have a Total Gym that I love. If you buy a scratch and dent one from website you get newest version ½ price. It took me 6 months to figure out the small imperfection in mine - a scratch, not rip on padding. Love it.

I also have an incline treadmill. I am not always as disiplined on treadmill but love the Total Gym.

I have a treadmill and elliptical from sears. Love both of them. I need diversity and this way I can change it up. I too have bad knees. My treadmill has a flexible walking surface so can adjust the firmness. I also use a exercise ball and free weights.

I have a Gold's gym eliptical from Walmart. It was under $200 (can't remember the exact price). I also have a Bowflex revolution, but do not recommend it if you have financial struggles. Zumba videos also are quite fun even if you don't think you like dancing. I love them.

I love the Total Gym, too. It's actually pretty fun, and even when you're not doing something really hard you are working out. It's weight lifting and card in one.

We have a home gym, treadmill, and elliptical. I love our elliptical, but it was definitely an investment piece at 4500. It is gym quality, and amazing. It is a Precor and would rec

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
