*Bump*

Ok, I'm a bit confused...i read this thread twice thinking maybe I missed something but I'm still confused.

I'm about 148lbs. 5 foot 6. And 28 years old. I've been going to the gym for a couple of weeks now and am trying to lose some weight.
I get on the elliptical machine for a good 30 to 40 minutes....daily (and watch what I eat). My heart rate ranges from 170-185 when I'm on the elliptical machine. Now am I going about this wrong? Am I doing something unhealthy? I'm starting to think I need to slow down to burn the calories and fat (see..I told you I was confused).
Sorry for the ignorance...but I couldn't understand the advice above.
Anyone want to try and explain it again, but act as if you are talking to a 10 year old so I understand it?
