Question: On my eliptical trainer thats I just got I do what i would call a slow jog for a half an hour and its telling me im only burning 150 cal im satisfied with that for now cuz im preggers anyway but will that be a good enough daily workout for me after I have my baby i wanna lose my weight FAST and get toned and 150 cal aint much but is that workout at least building muscles slowly? or maintaining what muscles i have?

to gain muscle you need to do 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
and you should BARELY be able to finish the tenth rep every set, otherwise its too light for you.
elliptical is for building endurance not new muscles. And you should not loose any weight fast after having your baby. If you watch your diet and eat healthy you might not even gain any weight during pregnancy and if you still eat healthy you could loose some while breastfeeding. so forget about fast and just see what happens.
yes
It takes time, but yes.
One thing that will help you lose weight: a colon cleanse. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few until I found a great one that works (its all natural too! - it's just pills, but you'll detox, lose weight, and fell much, much better). You can go to
