hope you don't mind me answering your question, the best way to lose weight is to do as much cardio as you can. For me personally the elliptical machine is great, feels like it does so much at once instead of concentrating on one area. I don't do treadmills because I can't run on them, just feel off balance even if I let one hand go to grab my water bottle, weird huh lol. Don't get discouraged at first because you will need to build up your time on machines slowly. I could only stand about 10 mins on the elliptical at first and now can do 45 no problem. I haven't done any classes yet. It's nice to do some weights as a break from cardio and I find if I do some in between I can go back on a machine for even longer. A few hints though: muscle weighs more than fat so if you do weights and gain muscle you might not notice a difference in weight as far as numbers. Go by how your clothes fit and how you feel instead of relying on the scale and what it says. It's also better to weigh yourself before working out because you weigh more afterwards. Best of luck, working out just makes me feel so great, I have to push myself to go but am always glad I did afterwards.
