Every morning I do the 45-minute weight loss program on the eliptical in my basement.

At the end of the program my body is covered in sweat, and im breathing hard (not hard enough where I'm having trouble breathing).

After the workout my legs feel pretty fatigued, but not DEAD like they would after i run 2 miles or something.


My problem is that I'm not losing that much weight really... is this workout working?

P.S. I eat very healthy so my diet is why i'm not losing weight.

losing weight should not be you goal (unles you are seriously overweight). you might actually gain weight because muscle weighs more than fat. try to tone up, not JUST loose weight

I beg to differ...most times people think they are eating healthy when they are really not.
I bet your diet is carb laden.

So many people are uneducated when it comes to fitness and nutrition.
Quite sad,really.

ya btw the reason why your are not losing weight (but may be gaining) is cuz your FAT IS TURNING INTO MUSCLE!!!! Gosh come on!  If you want to lose weight eat a LITTLE ( enfases on the little) and walk.  If you want to gain the muscle RUN.  Comprende?

you probably need to do more, depending on the amount of calaries you intake in an average day!
