What elliptical do you like best?

I am looking to buy an elliptical to assist in loosing weight. I need to loose 50 lbs, and WANT to loose 80. I am looking into an elliptical, something not to spendy as I am pretty poor and something I can have in my living room that isn't going to look really dumb. Is an elliptical a good idea for loosing the amount of weight I want to loose? Tell me about your success stories!! :)

  • If you're motivated to use it long term, then it's an okay idea. I would check at Play It Again sports or another similar store since you'll probably get a much lower price. Precor makes some good stuff, but it's not cheap.

  • I had a proform and it was rather large. It would probably look a little odd in the living room. LOL
    Not that keeping mine in the kitchen was any better. LOL
    Anyways, i HATED mine. i got rid of it. I simply couldnt do it for long at all. Now a firend of mine SWEARS by the elliptical and she does like 30 minutes on it each day.
    I dont remember how much i paid for it . I think like $399.00 but it was real sturdy. I got mine from sears. There isnt a lot to choose from around her. You might look on craigslist too. That is where i sold mine at. Good Luck

  • Octane, but they are very expensive. I agree with checking out play it again sports to find a lesser expensive one. Honestly, if I were considering buying something now I would probably just pay for a gym membership instead. That way I would have access to other kinds of equipment in addition to the cardio stuff.
