Elliptical the gym equipment

I’ve wanted to lose weight the right way so I’m thinking of buying a new elliptical (its like the treadmill). I heard that there are people who lost weight going into cardio exercise. I hope its true because I’m so eager to lose weight. I can’t go to the gym because the gym here is not that appealing. LOL. BTW, I already searched elliptical prices and got surprised that its around 6,000 pesos and above. Not bad but still can’t afford it. LOL. Just wish me luck that I may be able to buy myself one!
