I think you should do some heavy weight lifting before your cardio sessions, maybe 10-15 minutes to preserve some muscle. In addition, it is suggested that eat about 100 grams of protein, which is half your body weight of 210.
I have to commend you for your efforts especially for being aound 245. Most people would give up after a while. I know I myself weigh that much and my goal is to do 30 minutes on the treadmil of walking 3.5 mph.
I am thinking about getting an elliptical for around 500-1000 bucks, just don't know which would hold my rather large frame of 245-250 pounds. Do you have any recommendations?
