i have recently started on my healthier lifestyle treck...
i have been doing my own version of weight watchers for about 2 weeks. its going well, im getting the hang of counting points and what not. i have adjusted my grocery shopping significantly, which i am really proud of. i just buy healthier alternatives to things i was already eating and its working out pretty good and ive lost a few pounds in the process!

now, i dont belong to a gym, and i would prefer to kind of not. i really dont have the money right now, i am trying to save up for my wedding next year!
so i walk every day, on my breaks at work, when i get home from work, i change up the paths so i have some uphill, some downhill, some regular....

at any rate, i want to invest in a piece of exercise equipment, like a bike, or eliptical....any suggestions?

I'd go for the bike, I love mine and it was way cheaper then an elliptical seeing as money is an issue. then you could afford a stability ball and some resistence tubes.

You can find them at about the same price depending on where you look, so I'd suggest going to a sporting goods store that has the stuff set up and test it. Get on a couple different styles of bikes and ellipticals and decide, then find one for a good price where you can. Walmart has some great prices, or you might have a discount sporting goods store where you live.

And I agree that you should also get a stability ball and resistance bands. At that point you'll have your own gym.

Top three:

1. Puma running shoes -- you want to run when wearing these

2. rollerblades -- can't go wrong with K2s

3. my bicycle -- I have an Electra cruiser, but I wouldn't mind a mountain bike

[i am still trying]
