I really believe to lose weight a person has to do about an hour of cardio in one session at least four times a week and more. There must be consistancy and sometimes you will just have to let yourself be hungary. My stomach shrunk after I rode my bike all spring and summer and I had to eat more to prevent losing to much weight. Eventually, your stomach will shrink (literally the organ) will get to a nbormal size and it will take less food to fill you up.
Cardio is number one before weight lifting when it comes to losing weight, so if you do not like soreness you will not need much weight lifting unless you enjoy it. Lifting weights is to gain muscle mass, not burn calories. But gaining some muscle mass sure will help you burn more, but not as much as some would lead you to believe.
Just advise from a man who lost a lot of weight and has learned how to keep it off.
