From WebMD:
"A new study says that obese and overweight women need to cut calories and exercise 275 minutes a week more than their baseline physical activity -- or at least 55 minutes a day, five days a week to lose weight and keep it off.
The research was led by John M. Jakicic, PhD, of the University of Pittsburgh, and colleagues."
BBC NEWS | Health | Hour's exercise 'to lose weight':
"Thirty minutes a day is good for general health, but if you want to lose weight, you need to be doing more, and if you want to sustain weight loss, you need to be doing even more than that"

It is not the length of time that people need to pay attention to.
It is the intensity.
Too many people are on 'cruise control' with their exercise routine.
You have got to 'kick it up' a bit.
A simple 'walk in the park' just won't cut it.
The people in the study did not lose any impressive amount of weight. Chances are, they were not truly eating properly, and their exercise intensity was at a very low level.
There are plenty of success stories of people who have lost a lot of weight...it can be done.
It is all about a proper state of mind focused on the goal, a properly structured diet, and maintaining a regular exercise program.
