Put the TV behind the treadmill. Put on a Jane Fonda workout video. Turn on the treadmill and get on and pretend as if you're running away.
If that doesn't work, eat a healthy, American breakfast, cut down on the size of your lunch, and eat a healthy dinner. Combined with a steady workout plan, you'll start losing weight. Oh, and go to bed earlier than you normally would. Chances are you get hungry before you go to bed and decide to have an extra snack, completely wiping out your workout.
A good idea is to stop drinking if you drink alcohol. The calories in alcohol are not the problem, however, hangovers and happy hour tend to cut into your workout time and generally are bad for your health.
The elliptical is a good workout, but you should couple it with some resistance/weight training. Strengthening your muscles and building up your muscles is a good way to burn more calories continuously and feel better than just aerobic elliptical training.

Whoa there. One thing I learned from exercising correctly and living a healthy life is that one needs to ‘REWARD’ your body after discipling yourself for a majority of the week.
example: When they interviewed the (WWE’s) THE ROCK. He said that he “pigs out” on Saturdays, eating everything from pork rinds, jelly doughnuts, downing a 6 pack of beer and Jack, to reward his long workouts during the week.
One needs the carbs to burn. The greatest Olympia, Michael Phelps’ diet requires him to chow down get this...8 pancakes with syrup every morning PLUS 2 whole pizzas as his carbs.
On a personal note, I only drink beer occasionally on the week but NEVER everyday. I am aware of the calories but just like life, sometimes if you crave a cheeseburger from Carl’s JR, it won’t kill you to have one.
