LOL...not me, I'm one of the people who out-exercises my diet. I just had ice cream for dinner and earlier today I also had a donut. (And I'm a size 4.) I eat a minimum of 1800 calories per day.

Anyway. I think buying your own exercise equipment is only a good idea if you're very familiar and enjoy the activity you will be doing on it, and you KNOW you will use it. I would never buy a spin bike if I had never really tried spinning before or if I only did it a handful of times. It would probably end up being a waste of money. Personally, I love to run--I've been running since 1992 and for the past 9 years, except for a few periods of injury, I've run a minimum of 25 miles per week. So I own a treadmill and I use it constantly--when I wake up I walk for 20 minutes, every day of the work week. I actually dislike running on a treadmill but it's been a great option when it's a downpour outside. So if you have a proven track record, it would be good to buy your own machine. If not, or if you're new to exercise, I'd use the gym for awhile and do different things until you really find something you love and can use long term.

I do agree that it's not great to focus just on cardio. I went through periods where I focused more on weights than on running and my body looked great--I weighed more but my appearance was awesome. I haven't stuck with it because I just really legitimately enjoy running and competing in races. So take awhile and find what works for you. And maybe lose the snippy attitude. [/quote]

I'm curious to know how old you are.  I used to be able to do this.  I am a triathlete.  At 47 it just doesn't work anymore.  Now, I have to increase exercise and seriously cut food.[/quote]
