Thunderf00t had a great take on this showing why excercise is pretty much useless for weight loss.

You exhale same percentage of CO2 no matter how active you are so to burn more fat you have to make yourself breathe faster. You can do that with excercise which, if it's intense, can triple your rate of breathing. But if you do intensly excercise for an hour each day you just burn 26 hours of fat instead 24.

Not much of a difference. You can do much more with skipping some snacks or soda you ingest daily.

Most people want to add some muscle mass too, not just remove fat stores.

Fat people usually have plenty of muscles. They need them to lug the fat around.

I'm not saying you shouldn't excercise to get healthier or build some muscle but don't expect to loose weight from excercise.
