Which is better?
Okay right now I'm doing 60 minutes of cardio (elliptical) a day. I know this sounds like alot but I started out with 15 minutes a day about 3 months ago and I've been working my way up gradually.
I haven't seen any changes in my weight since I started doing 60 minutes cause I only started a few days ago but right now I'm doing the 60 minutes all in one go, which is fine with me, I'm not getting worn out or feeling weak or anything
But I'm wondering, would it be better to do the 60 minutes all in one go or do 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon?
I'm talking in terms of WEIGHT LOSS here. Not in health, I don't care which is healthier because I already lead a pretty healthy lifestyle. But I'm not far off my goal weight and I've reached a plateu and I'd really like to lose my last 7lbs in about a month. So in terms of weight loss, which is better and why?

Dividing your workout won't help.
When you're doing your 60 minute exercise, make sure you're burning 600 calorie/hour consistently.

Split it up. 60 mins at a time is wayy too much and you're not doing anything beneficial after that much time anyway. 30 and 30 is ok, but 20 mins of interval training in the morning and 20 minutes of interval training in the evening is ideal.
By the way- never think that you're in top physical shape all the time; there is always something you can do (like this example of interval training) to improve your health.

I think it would be better to do it all in one. For ellipticals, it takes longer for your heart to speed up. When your heart is racing, its pumping blood. You are burning calories while doing this, so therefore, if you only did ellipticals for 30 minutes, you wouldn't be getting as great of a workout if you did it for 60 minutes. Even if it's 60 mins total daily, which is still good, 60 mins all at once of exercise will most likely give you better results since you're giving your body more time to burn off fat instead of only going half way then stopping & starting later. If you want faster results, I would suggest doing 60 minutes of ellipticals & then later on maybe do 20-30 minutes of jogging. Also, eat healthy & drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated.
