Has anyone lost a great amount of weight just by doing the elliptical machine?

I have. I won a biggest loser competition doing primarily the elliptical as my main source of exercise.

For the first six months of my weight loss I did the elliptical every day for an hour, I lost around 25 lbs. But eventually you will have to mix it up

after a while your body is going to get use to it and your weight loss will plateau or slow down so depending on how long you been doing the elliptical you may want to vary your cardio
