Er, get yourself a Spin Bike if you wanna tone up, lose weight and also improve your cardiovascular strength!.
Believe me you wouldn't regret it. 45mins daily, 5 days a week on a 1 month programme and no doubt you'll see the difference!

make sure you set it up facing the tv and do either 20mins medium ir half hour light during one of the soaps... thats what I sed to do when I had my rowing machine
Spin bikes are designed for high intesity short workouts like 30-40mins and burn a huge amount of calories...

stick with only one, the cross trainer.
It gets the old heart rate up to a fat buring mode quickly.
I would also suggest some kind of weight training.
Have Fun

start off slowly
I always had success with a basic routine of upper body one day then lower body the next day. 3 sets with 8 to 10 reps for starters.
At a min you want to do no less than 4 routines a day
Visit this 3 - 4 times a week.
Keep in mind that this is very basic. What I think you want is to get started

@ BP Is there any foods recommended to be combined with the exercise regime?
If I was to buy ONE piece of equipment that you would recommend for weight loss what would it be?

Try the basics:
Veggies (for salads the greener the better), fruit
Chicken, fish, pork (lean meats)
Diet sodas (I really can't taste the different btwn these the real stuff), Water
Use the sugar subs
Cut out the butter
Make sure you eat 3 meals a day (small portions) and not the fast foods (I know how hard this is - I'm hanging in there too). Sit down and take your time to eat good meals. Try not to eat meals in you car.

Yeah thats what i am trying to do especially, I am finding eating 3 meals quite difficult but getting there.. I've started to have breakfast in the morning which is helpful.
How do you mean sugar subs? I'm not big on sweetners,,

Count everytime you follow your plan as a small victory. "I ate breakfast and made to lunch without that donut or cookie, I know I can keep this up !"
This is how I must think. I screw the process up alot, but I know, I can always try again and again.

Sweeteners. These can be just as good as sugar. Sometimes you can't even taste the difference.
When comes to sodas; I drink all diet, but the best stuff (soda) is no caffeine, sugar or sodium. Obvious water is the very best. Now there is flavored water, that's good too or flavor seltzer.
Hang in there !

I recently purchased the lateral thigh trainer (seen on infommercials) I didn't pay that price though.
Only started using but that thing makes me sweats like anything, feels good working out on it.
Lady Day, have you purchased your equipment yet?
where I bought my equipment from http://www.uksportimports.com/catalog/

If you can afford home gym equipment, cross-trainers and multi-function weight benches are really the way to go. On the less expensive end, exercise bikes, trampolines, roller blades, and wrist and ankle weights work well, too.
The best thing about exercise is that you do not need any money at all to get into shape. I have known guys who worked out with bags of sand, cans of soup, phone books and all kinds of creative stuff. The most important part of any exercise program is consistency. But actual gym equipment is
Do they have stores in England like "Play It Again Sports" that we have in the US? These are stores where you can sell gym equipment that you don't want anymore and buy used equipment at a discount price? Those are the best places to go.
