elliptical and weight loss

Is 20 minutes a day on my elliptical (I do a preset program that gradually increases and decreases resistance, keeping my heart rate up) enough to lose weight?

I breastfeed and I also eat around 1200 calories a day.

Hi.. I think that would be enough to loose some weight.  I also eat around 1200 cal. and exercise 20-30min daily.  I've lost a few lbs. in 3 weeks.

I probably should add that I'm 5'0 and 148lbs... I gained alot of weight during my pregnancy, due to a low energy level caused by anemia.

It's been 3 months since labor and I feel as if I'm not losing any weight.

2 years ago I had a bad eating disorder, and weighed 89lbs.

I feel like a good weight for me would be around 105...

Am I doing enough to reach this goal withing a reasonable amount of time?

Having all of this extra weight on me is really negatively affecting my psyche.
