You need to add some resistance training of some sort to your routine. Find some form of resistance (weights or body weight) that you like and add it in 3-4 days a week.0

I have slowly built up to 45-47 minutes of interval resistance/speed on my elliptical 6x a week. You truly can't spot reduce your trouble areas... but I can attest that staying in my calorie goals, I've successfully lost almost 24 pounds and multitudes of inches over my whole body in just a little over two months. Keep at it, it'll come off, just most likely not all from one area0

Spot reduction is a myth. Start doing some strength training as well, it will help your shape.0

How long, what's your heart rate, what resistance, what speed. I do the elliptical five days a week, started at 6 mph to get my heart rate above 80% now it's up to 8 mph. I do that for 1 hr. I use a HRM to control the resistance.0

I lost about 50 lbs largely using the elliptical as my low impact cardio. I use one of the interval modes and gradually increase the resistance over time. Used this 3-5x/week and had great results. Now that I'm at a better weight I run, but still go back to the elliptical when I need to work out soreness or my knees are bothering me.0
