Thank you for adding your advice, Chicagotarsier.

I do 2 - 3 x a week on the elliptical, intensely, 20 - 30 mins, like this, a pace of 125-150 for 3 minutes, then 60 second blast of 300, then three minutes of 125-150, then 60 second blast of 300, and so on. I also turn the resistance up as high as I can stand it and have the machine auto adjust from stepping up high to low at various intervals. It burns. I scare women and kids I am so intense upon it.

The lying Precor 546 machine says I burn anywhere from 330 calories (20 minutes) to over 440 (thirty minutes).

I have been considering hitting cardio more frequently, like daily for a week or so, and increasing the length of time, for up to 40 minutes, to see if it helps, but I want to sort out the diet first before messing too much with adding in more cardio. Obviously, I have some work to do on the diet.
