“A study published in the July 28 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine finds that overweight and obese women need to do more than just limit calories in order to sustain a 10 percent weight loss over two years: they also need to exercise 55 minutes per day, five days per week. Overweight people account for more than 65% of adults in America, and it is a serious public health concern. ‘Among obese adults, long-term weight loss and prevention of weight regain have been less than desired,’ write the authors of this recent study. ‘Therefore, there is a need for more effective interventions.’ Experts have recommended at least 150 minutes of exercise per week through their suggestion of 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on at least 5 days of the week. More effective long-term weight loss maintenance, however, may require more frequent exercise.”

I second this:
Studies show that the more obese your are the more exercise you need to do. For reference see the story http://www.emaxhealth.com/69/23523.html in today's issue of eMaxHealth.
