How big are you!? I was 260 (and a guy) and I lost 90 lbs in 3 months by doing cardio (ski machine and jogging) 1-2 hours a day 7 days a week!. I was also 19 at the time so that helped!.
Its always been said that 20 minutes a day 3 days a week is minimum but if you are serious about losing, I would go 30 minutes minimum 4 days a week at the very least!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The study evaluated 329 overweight or obese 40- to 69-year-old patients using a model based on the idea that behavioral change involves five stages: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance!. Study participants were categorized into stages for five target behaviors: portion control, decreasing dietary fat, increasing intake of fruits and vegetables, increasing planned exercise and increasing physical activity!.
Changes in all five behaviors led to weight loss among the study participants, but decreased portion sizes led to the greatest loss, Logue and his colleagues report in the journal Obesity Research!. For example, portion control appeared to increase the chances of losing weight by almost four-fold, while eating more fruits and vegetables was associated with just under a three-fold increase in the chances of losing weight, the report indicates!.
By the end of the two-year study, nearly one-quarter (23 percent) of study participants had lost five percent or more of their initial weight, and 18 percent had gained a similar amount!.
Those in the action and maintenance stages of behavior change for portion control -- that is, those who began controlling their portion sizes at the start of the study and continued to do so for the whole study period and those who had previously begun to limit their portions and maintained this behavior during the study -- lost nearly 38 percent of their initial weight, the report indicates!.
Participants who increased their intake or maintained their increased intake of fruits and vegetables for 24 months lost about 29 percent of their initial weight!. Those who consistently restricted their consumption of dietary fat lost 35!.5 percent of their initial weight!. And, the report indicates, those who participated in more planned exercise for the duration of the study lost 27 percent of their weight, while those who consistently increased their normal level of everyday activity lost about 31 percent of their weight!.

1 pound = 3500 calories!.
If you want to lose 3 lbs you have to burn 10500 per week!. This would result in swimming for about 23 hours per week!. Impossible!.
One hour of swimming laps (freestyle, light & moderate effort) burns about 460 calories for an average person!.
Aim for 1 pound per week and you will succeed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
