I want to buy one of them but im not sure which one. I want to tone my body but not lose weight. Which would be better for me?

They are both good options for cardiovascular health. Personally, if I was going to invest in one or the other, I think the treadmill is more versatile and less monotonous (i.e., you can walk, run or jog or do a combo of the three). For toning you want weights.

Like MSM stated they are both good for cardio health. The elliptical is not as hard on the joints as is a treadmill. A good quality eliptacle will be programable, and also have manual settings just like a good quality treadmill. One burns more calories with on an eliptical machine verses a treadmill.
To answer your original question on which will tone your body more, I would have to say neither. These are not sculpting machines. To tone your body you would need to do resistance training with Bands or weights.
