elliptical machine

Tweet

Im leaning towards to purchasing one sometime this month and I would like some honest opinion please. I know it helps to tone your body but can it really help you lose weight? I have been super busy lately and since my work and schooling is home base, I need to find a way to work my butt off somehow and I have space for the machine. I watch my eating habit, I limit my meals to 500 calories each, no sodas and I don't drink beer or any other alcoholic beverages. Dont eat outside food and for sure no sweets (candies) YUCK?! would it work? does it work? thanks in advance for any advice and help :)
