Just getting started myself, and looking to drop 50 pounds. I thought that might be daunting--but after seeing what you've done, it doesn't seem so hard any more. I'm going with an elliptical all the way, because it's easier on the knees. It also sidesteps a number of other hazards common to outdoor running in urban areas—things like hundred-degree heat, rain/sleet/hail/snow, wayward automobiles, muggers, sociopathic canines and (in southern California, at least) choking smog. Unable to find a blog devoted to elliptical weight-loss and fitness, I started my own at http://fitstormblog.com/ The pounds are already dropping. Stay fit! Hi Tyler,

Holy cow, congrats on the transformation! Just getting started myself, and looking to drop 50 pounds. I thought that might be daunting–but after seeing what you’ve done, it doesn’t seem so hard any more.

The pounds are already dropping.

Stay fit!

I crank that baby up to level 14 every night I do an elliptical workout and get a sweat going. I can't believe how many calories the elliptical burns! Congrats on you and your elliptical workout program. Keep watching your butt too, it'll start getting toned. Elliptical workouts are the toughest!

Really, running speeds depends upon the person, and women often have slower times. I should have thrown in the caveat, those speeds I mentioned were colored by the hue of a 30 year old guy. I.e. I'm in the prime of my running shape ... sadly, I'm still slow. My wife runs at 4mph. @Tara3117, 4mph is respectable as well.

When I started, I used Nike+ shoes with the Shox...talk about massive shin splints. I went to a locally owned running store - Runners Alley for those in New Hampshire - and they fitted me with some Saucony shoes that made a massive difference. Jen couldn’t be more right about shoes.

I chose the treadmill and keep on it. Though, I would probably like the bike. Here's to running to change. Hey,
