48 minutes
After Josiah was born I read that walking for 48 minutes at a leisurely pace was a better fat burning workout then running for 20 minutes. I walked 3-4 days a week for 48 minutes each time and I lost 65 pounds in a year. The weight came off at that pound a week rate I was talking about earlier. While being in this study I have to do Zumba for 1 hour three times a week and 45 minutes of vigorous cardiovascular exercise two times a week. I wonder if I just walked for 48 minutes 5 days a week if I would be loosing more weight. Interesting that I was able to do better on my own with just walking and no dieting then having people help me, doing hard work outs, and dieting. I think I should do my own study. Group A will walk for 48 minutes at a leisurely pace with out any diet change while Group B busts their buns 5 days a week while on a reduced calorie diet. I truly am curious, who would loose the most weight? Granted when I lost the 65 pounds it was all the weight I gained while pregnant and I was breast feeding but I really do wonder.

That's kinda tricky. It seems like I've heard from several sources that if you have a lot of weight to lose, it goes faster in the beginning and that the last 10 or so are the hardest to lose. It does make you wonder though. Could some of it be that you are replacing the fat with muscle? I'm sorry you're not seeing amazing results. That's gotta be so frustrating and demotivating. Will they share the results of the study with the participants when it's all over? Have you heard from any of the other participants if they're losing weight? Hang in there!
