Really enjoyed your review of the book. I’ll be commenting about it, soon.

I think the 1-2 pounds per week might be approximating a 1-2% weight loss — just with the assumption that the people in question weigh no more than 200-ish pounds. That a bigger person can lose more doesn’t seem like it should be surprising, but that 1-2 pounds has been drilled into our heads.

I bought the book too and am wondering if I could ever get that much exercise in my life — and I always considered myself fairly active. It’s definitely something I could work toward, though. I have noticed myself that 2-a-day workouts really do make a difference, so even if I start with 1 hour split into 2 sessions, that might still be better than one longer session.

I’ve been averaging a little bit less than an hour of vigorous exercise a day for the last couple of months. To my surprised, pretty quickly the exercise has become its own reward. For one thing, for the first winter in forever, I haven’t been dealing with depression. Wow.

So, I look forward to hearing about how fantastic two hours a day of exercise leave you feeling. I bet they become their own reward pretty quickly.

Oh my goodness, two to two and a half hours of vigorous exercise a day?! I would quit after day one, I’m afraid. But I’ll be slouching on the couch cheering you on with all I’ve got (maybe that can count as my vigorous exercise?)! Good luck!
