Is it possible that the elliptical trainers at the gym are, I don't know, calibrated differently or something? This morning I worked out at level 8 for 30 minutes. I worked hard. My heart rate was up in my cardio training zone (approx. 165), I had on average about 80 rpm, I was sweating buckets, my legs were tired and hurting by the end. However, after all this, I only burned 427 calories. I have burned that many calories on other machines while working at a lower levels and not going as fast. What is up with that?
Think I will stay away from that machine from now on. Hmph. Am so going back tonight to do the muscle toning class.

I'm still in shock over the fact that you've become such a sport fanatic. I seem to recall a certain girl running away, hands over her head, from the ball when we used to play volleyball in gym class at highschool...
I wouldn't call what I do "sport" as such, rather exercise. There are no teams in what I do, no balls flying around (dangerously!), no me running away ...
