Help! Elliptical

"Toning" isn't really anything other than a marketing term. You either build muscle or you don't. You can probably strengthen with more resistance, and maybe shape a bit, but you won't build muscle without lifting heavy. It will help you create a bigger caloric deficit, and there for you may lose fat faster which will show the muscles underneath.

just doing it will make you tone. if you add me you can see my before and after pixs and all i do is elliptical.

Building muscles needs resistance, which may be on an elliptical or through weights. The degree to which they develop is far greater of course through weight training, but you will build some muscle through elliptical resistance. Toning, however, would be achieved when your muscles that you build are going to be visible through loss of fat layers sitting on top of it. So, high resistance interval training is highly recommended to achieve fat loss while building moderate muscle. Good luck!
