The researchers found that the difference in movement between their heavy study participants and the lean ones amounted to 350 calories per day. If the heavy people could move enough to burn that number of calories, they could lose 30 to 40 pounds in a year.

People that say you just have to do to lose weight can be idiots. Yes, SOME PEOPLE can do a little more and lost 30-40 pounds in a year. And others no matter how hard they try, or how hard they work at it, can't lose more than 4 or 5 pounds.
As I posted in another thread, and ex-gf of mine did everything right. She ate salads for meals, walked on the treadmill every day, rode a bike for up to a mile or more, sometimes walked outside for a mile or more, and was on her feet a lot at work. And managed to bring her cholesterol down, and lost MAYBE 5 pounds in five or six months. It's not a matter of people sitting on their butts and doing nothing, and becoming overweight. Some people do everything right, and simply CAN NOT lose weight.

She's had several tests done, and a lot of blood work done by her dr, and the only thing they've found so far is that she's borderline diabetic.
