    The elliptical is a great machine to do your cardio on!

    It burns the most calories because you are using your legs and arms at the same time AND it is easy on your joints. (unlike running on the treadmill)

    Your weight gain might be because you have put on some muscle.... Don't go by the number on the scale, it's better to go by how your clothes are fitting.

    Keep up the good work!

    You didn't gain that much muscle, muscle just takes up less space than fat, but it's most likely water weight. Your muscles might be retaining water from the new exercise, and as long as you keep drinking the water you should it will go away soon.
