If you're still not losing weight, then your calorie expenditure - the amount you're working off - doesn't exceed the intake - the amount you're eating. If you're already getting in five meals a day, eat slightly less in each. If you're not, start doing that.

The elliptical is a much less impactful form of cardio. The treadmill is more efficient, although running outside is better still, where the machine isn't pulling back on your feet and doing part of the work for you.
