Reply from Christine, Age 18 - 12/19/10 - IP#: 70.41.95.xxx Unless you were very sedentary, 15 minutes of running isn't very much to lose weight. I'd aim for 30-60 minutes per day, and walking for some of that may help if you can't run for that long. Also, situps don't generally help with weight loss; they're more for building muscle. And since muscle weighs more than fat, there's a chance that any fat you're losing is being replaced. Don't look too much at the scale. Instead, consider how your clothes are fitting or if your stomach is smaller. How is your diet? Have you been cutting out calories as well?
