You don’t need to add anything in. You need to watch your diet. Exercise doesn’t burn as many calories as you think. Diet is the bigger bang for your buck, but no one wants to believe they gained weight or can’t lose weight because they are simply eating too much. [/quote]

The trouble with your advice is that most people have trouble consistently eating 1200-1400 calories per day and never going above that. This is why exercise works to help diets- it enables you to have that piece of cake at the office party or dinner out with the husband or other things to feel normal. It also makes the diet sustainable over time because you have a built in way to burn excess calories that will inevitably make their way into your stomach.

People here often write about how they can't lose or keep gaining back the weight and it's pretty obvious why.  I'm 5'8 and if I don't want to gain weight I have to keep it under 1600 calories a day, every day. That isn't sustainable for me through diet alone. I can go work out and burn 500-600 calories an hour, and like the average healthy weight woman, the activity also suppresses my appetite.

OP does need to diet to get back on track. But working out will help her stay on track. [/quote]
