I noticed you do that a lot. No offence but if your info is so good then why don't you share it with the forum? Also, be careful of taking everything that applies to you and extrapolating that to the general population. Lots of people succesfully lose weight but until you've actually worked with many, many people and have learned to tailor things to what works for different individuals then it's not appropriate to set yourself up as an "expert".
It's similar to when a skinny guy gains 50 pounds of muscle and then immediately writes and e-book that's gonna "revolutionize" muscle gain. By that qualification I and many others here should be writing books....I'm not doubting what you've learned as much as wondering why you're trying to lure people away from the forum when there are knowledgable people here as well.
For most that are extremely overweight the initial pounds are going to melt off. However, what they do at first can determine how quickly they hit that weightloss "plateau" that verb spoke of. I too think that starting at 60 minutels a day may be excessive. One thing to keep in mind is that the number one effect of solid state "cardio" is to increase metabolic efficiency. Yes you burn some fat while doing it but over time you will burn less fat doing the same activity so the only anwer would be to "do more" as verb eluded to. Which would be ridiculous unless you're training for a marathon. Not to mention that lean mass is going to go to resulting in and unhealthy weight loss with a less than optimal appearance at the end. One of the causes of what seems like "saggy skin" is loss of lean mass along with fat loss. A proper weight training plan is in order although it may be beneficial to wait until a little more weight comes off.
