Hi Alicia! Congrats on your loss so far, you're doing great! I recommend mixing up your exercises. You need an aerobic exercise (fatburning or cardio) to do regularly as well as weight-lifting -- I think both are good to do. Try mixing up your exercises -- stairmaster, elliptical machine (is that the same as aerodyne?), treadmill, cycling, etc. -- try all the machines at your Y, gradually, and then challenge yourself to do a little more on them each week. For instance, cycle on Monday, treadmill & weights on Wednesday, aerodyne on Friday, treadmill & weights on Saturday, or some such schedule that mixes it up. Good luck!
