A decade and a half ago I weighed more than 100 pounds above what I currently do and exercise was a huge factor in losing the weight in a healthy manner over a period of time but IMO exercise is an aid to weight loss and certainly paramount in building a healthy, fit body, but weight loss depends on getting the food right and I know this is controversial and irritates a lot of people when I say it (not only on here), but there it is, as far as results, there isn't a DVD that produces weight loss but of course all exercise helps the process as far as lifestyle.
That said, when I was heavier and less fit Leslie videos and long walks were pretty much the only thing that keep me consistent as far as exercise.
I miss Leslie, gave most of my remaining ones away this summer.
The above said also, weight training of any kind really does help build a body that is optimum for maintaining a weight loss, although one may put on scale weight in the beginning and that can discourage those just beginning the journey.
And the key, as someone said up thread, is yep keep at it whatever you do.
And log food! (Sorry, t'is true, it is about food!)
