I'm not sure how different we are- when I initially lost my weight (20lbs from an 8/10 to a 4/6) I was working with a trainer and he had me lifting 2-3 times a week. The combination of lifting, high intensity cardio, and complete diet overhaul (moved to 6 small meals a day high protein low refined carbs) was MIRACULOUS I wasn't even really considered overweight, more borderline since I have a high muscle percentage, and I still lost 9 lbs the first month.
