    Is two hours exercise a day excessive to acomplish weight loss? I am doing about an hour 15 per day at the moment.

    I do think its a tad excessive. Its something like a few hours a week for an adult.

    At your weight two hours is too much, in my opinion. Even people that are quite overweight shouldn't do excessive amounts.

    If I were you I'd do an hour maximum.
    Long-term goals:

    Get into the 16s (done)
    Get into the 15s (done)
    Get into the 14s (done)
    Get into the 13s (done!)
    Get into the 12s (done)
    Get into the 11s (December)
    Get into the 10s (February)

    Other targets:

    Get into size 16 top - done
    Get into size 18 bottoms - done
    Get into size 14 tops - done
    Get into size 16 bottoms - done
    Get into size 12 top
    Get into size 14 bottoms

    Get waist to 34 inches (done )
    Get h
    ips to 46 inches (DONE!)
    Get waist to 32 inches (done)
    Get hips to 44 inches (done)
    Get waist to 30 inches
    Get hips to 42 inches

    Does it matter? If you have the results you want by training 1h15m a day, why do you feel the need to exercise more?

    You are doing more than enough to keep your body healthy.
    My blog: http://roadtofitness.wordpress.com/

    Mini Goals:
    Lose 7lbs: | 5% goal (11st 0.5lbs) | Into the 10's (10st 13.5lbs) | Lose 1st (10st 9lbs) 4.5lbs to go! | 10st 7lbs 6.5lbs to go!
    10% (10st 6.5lbs) | Lose 1.5 st | Into the 9's (9st 13.5lbs) | Lose 2st (9st 9lbs) | Target for now! (9st 7lbs)

    5%

    Overall weight loss:

    I love how no-one tries to find out the level of intensity.

    2hours of walking? running? cycling? wii fit? free weights?

    All make a huge difference to how long you'll be able to keep it up for without loosing motivation or getting an injury.
