That is what has an impact on anyone's weight loss. Exercise not always so much, but it's great to do for your muscles and overall health. It's important to try and maintain the muscle mass you have.

You don't need to workout for two hours a day to lose weight. Plug your stats into mfp, get a calorie goal, and log your food to hit that goal. Then log your exercise, how ever much you want to do, and eat back at least some of those calories.

How many calories people eat depends on their height, weight, day-to-day activity level, goals, etc.

I ride a bicycle for more than two hours because it is fun, not to lose weight.

You may want to rethink excessive cardio: https://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/why-big-caloric-deficits-and-lots-of-activity-can-hurt-fat-loss.html/

Yep. But I've also gained weight doing two hours or more of cardio a day. What matters is that you eat less than you use.

The only thing I would lose if I did 2 hours of cardio per day is my mind.

Isn't two hours exercise too much?

I do and I have lost 10 pounds in the past month

Except for hiking, I do not do any cardio for more than 2 hrs at a time. The most that I do on machines is 30 mins on the StairMaster in combo w/1 hr on the treadmill. Otherwise, I'll just do 30 mins/day on my rower.

For the past 3 months, I ocassionally have been hiking 2-4 hrs (4-9 miles) in a day, once or twice a week, but I am in maintenance and am not trying to lose a lot of weight, just enough to stay w/in my maintenance range.

No. Nowhere near "too much ".

I do a lot of long distance walking and hiking, and average about 80 miles per week (I'm a dog walker so the cardio is mostly incidental.) I just love being outside and exploring the city, which causes me to not even think about the duration or mileage, I'm just happy being active and outdoors.

I've been averaging around 18,000 steps a day of walking and running over the past 2 and a half years which would average out to about 2 hours a day.

I lost 80 lbs in the first year, and have maintained my goal in the next year and a half.

None of this would be relevant if I hadn't also been logging everything in MFP and making sure I stuck to my weekly calorie limit by not eating too much or too little.

When I suddenly increase my exercise I temporarily increase weight (body adjusting). I also get flaming hungry within 48 hours.

I steadily lost weight when I closely tracked my calories and it trended downward monthly.

Exercise helps with fat loss, what you eat is the main factor.

+1 if I ran 15-20 miles or biked 50 miles a day, I'd be really hungry

I lost weight without doing 2 hrs of cardiovascular per day.
