well if you look at it from the aspect of average, woman typically are supposed to be around 1800 calories per day, so if your at 1600 per day you are burning 200 calories of stored fat plus what ever you burn exercising. You just have to stick with it, three weeks ago I struggled to do 15 minutes of cardio now I'm already up to 40 minutes. And the biggest loser is great but not realistic for the average person, these people work out for hours everyday with a trainer so that they can lose the amount of weight that they are losing, most of us just don't have that luxury.
