cardio will give you higher burns and create a bigger net calorie deficit,with diet.
you will lose muscle as well as fat.
strength/ weight training needs to play a part too, to reduce muscle loss and further down the road to body shape,as oft stated already.
combine both .
i lost 40lbs in 3 months from 2+ hours daily cardio,so have learned the hard way from depleted strength/ performance that i needed to incorporate strength/ core training too.
i now split 50-50.
great job on losses so far,good luck in losing the rest.

um...just no

You can do better than that. Do tell.

indeed.feel free to educate us all please.

The real answer is that combining resistance-training and cardio, be it aerobic or anaerobic, will yield that best results in-conjunction with an appropriate nutrition plan that supports weight-loss.

which is exactly what i advised.
maybe you skip read thread,
question was querying losing fat didnt also lose muscle as highlighted by bm livelaughlov....

Well at least you know what you did wrong.

Dumb question..my legs get a heck of a workout on the treadmill..you mean I'd have to do weight training too, to maintain my leg muscles? Plus I eat some protein after a workout, if that helps. I live in Podunk, Maine with no access to a trainer so the weight machines are kind of intimidating but I have been trying (for my arms).
