I gained almost 100 lbs during my pregnancy. Im looking to loose 50 all together and would love to loose at least 20 by May just when its starting to get warmer so i dont have to hide behind ugly clothes and just enjoy my first summer with my son and be healthy.
I dont have time to go to a gym everyday because I have a 5 month old so im looking to buy
something to excercise with, piece of equipment.
I dont have too much room in our home so im weighing pros and cons to the big objects I know some treadmills fold up.
I dont want to spend more than 500
and I want it to show how many calories you burn at each session.
Any ideas?
Is is possible to loose 20 lbs in 2 months?
Ive done it when I was younger, but in a un healthy manner that I cant pull off anymore.

Well its pretty realistic. You should normally and safely lose around 2 lbs a week. Which, in two months is just about twenty pounds. As for equipment. I HIGHLY suggest an elliptical. I own just about one of everything, and the elliptical is what i LOVE the most. It works both the upper and lower body (get one with movable arms). You can listen to music and shake your body and kind of dance at the same time on it, LOL. Now, the better ones only start at about $500. I bought mine, on the cheaper side, at $550, nordic track e5si space saver. The back end folds up to save you about 2-3 feet. Now, the downsides to getting a cheaper model. The are noisier and not as smooth. However, when you just want to lose some weight, just crank up the tv or your music a bit and you dont really notice anyways. I have a one and a half year old and she sleeps right through the creaks and squeaks. But you cant realistically get a smooth and quiet machine for only $500. That’s why they make $5000 range ones. Also, really all you need to do is invest in two maybe 8lb dumb ells and/or a resistance band, and look on you tube and do the toning workouts. By the way, billy blanks cardio and ad bootcamp on you tube is AWESOME. Makes you drip sweat like crazy. So, its going to be hard work, but you can do it. Ive had three kids and gained 60lbs a piece.. and lost it all with each one roughly by the time they were a year old. Im still at 134 and would like to get back down to 125 but im working on it! Its always the last ten lbs that suck the most. So anyways.. diet is 90% of weight loss REMEMBER THAT. No matter HOW HARD you work out.. if your eating to many calories, it wont matter. Oh, as for the calorie counting thing on the machines… well they are not totally accurate… since some of us have more muscle or more fat…the machine cant tell you that. If you have more muscle you are burning more than if you had mostly fat on your body. But its somewhat accurate. Anyways best of luck new mommy!!
