Actually, I’d been thinking when I stumbled across that report this morning that it certainly would explain why I find it easier to lose weight at the beginning of an exercise program — when I can’t do the entire tape without a rest period, so do half then return again to finish it after catching my breath.

Although anecdotal, that would certainly explain why I went through the same thing you did: after I’d built my endurance up and was able to finish the tape without a rest, my weight loss began to slow.

Something to think about.

When I lost the most the “easiest” (meaning following a plan and it working) was with the Body for Life program. The exercise is 20 minutes a day, but it’s leveled intensity training. It worked and once I (quickly) built up some endurance I found myself WANTING to go longer. Which was when the slowdown started, coincidentally. But anyway, I’m going to get back to that. It’s the only time frame I have so might as well run with it.
