How much exercise needed to help lose weight?
I'm 230 lbs, 5'8, about a size 20 or 18 depending on brand, typically a 20, though. My goal is to get down to 155 pounds. I know I need to exercise, but the question is, how MUCH is needed?
If I were to do an ab workout, pushups, squats, lunges, and go for a brisk walk every day would that be enough, partnered with eating less?
I do those things (and cardio Tues and Thurs, like running) every week day in P.E., and I did lose 10 pounds, but I am eating the same amount as ever and have hit a plateau.
So... if I were to keep that same routine and eat less, would I start losing again? Or would I need to intensify the routine, too?

The best thing is to do 30 minute - 1hr exercise 3-4 times a week.
Here are also a few great tips: When you eat dinner, Skip out on the big dinner plates and go for a smaller dish.
Take white bread and switch it over to wheat, Any pasta try to make sure it's whole grain!
Avoid anything that is high in carbs, sugar, calories.
Drink a half of glass a water before each meal, You will find yourself satisfied faster without eating as much.
If you work out, You will loose weight but it all depends on how badly you want this. If you are determined then you've got it but make sure you do not OVER do it. Over exercising will put a strain on your body.
If you really want to go hardcore, Eat with your other hand. You are more likely to eat less ;)
Any ground meat, Try and make sure it is lean meat! Instead of ground beef, Go for Ground Turkey Lean. Don't add on the mayo, Instead go for mustard or even ketchup!
Eat small portions, Skip out on the junk food. No soda, No sugar drinks......Stick to tea, water, and flavored water. Soda has acid in it and when you take in soda the acid can cause your stomach to stretch.
This is just a thought....Try looking into some Zumba/Dance classes.
Good Luck
