For anyone overweight (especially significantly so), I SWEAR by walking. I have lost more pounds simply walking than anytime I spent on the eliptical. I think it is because my heartrate stays in the "fat burn" zone as opposed to the "cardio" zone. Although I could hold my own on the elliptical or bike for a solid half-hour really pumping it out, my HR is off the charts - far above the recommended fat burn zone. Right now I don't need to work out my heart muscle - I need to drop pounds first then I'll do that! haha.
DH walks on the Wii everyday. With that walking and a balanced diet (he's doing Nutri-System, though we still will do occasional dinner out and always Sunday breakfast) --- just walking and diet and he's 2.2 pounds away from 50 pounds lost since October!
Especially with how nice this weather has been lately. It's wonderufl to be outside

Re: Any walkers???
Now that the time has changed, I'm going to start walking in the evenings. I started practicing yoga recently and LOVE it!
