[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There is very little correlation between exercise and weight loss[/b] - there is between exercise and maintaining your weight, though. So you've got some time to figure this out as you lose. Do you WANT to do to the gym? If so, people have given good advice. But there is nothing wrong with swimming, light yoga, and functional exercise, either. How about getting a pedometer (really cool ones out there by FitBit or Nike) and set yourself an ambitious goal - 10,000 steps or so. They will also track your "very active minutes" which will be things like going up those three flights of stairs, fast, or taking your pace while walking up really high. My husband is totally obsessed by his FitBit, will go for a quick walk late at night or will dash up the stairs to bed in order to get his active minutes goal.  Good luck, OP! You are doing great.[/quote]

This is one of the dumbest things I've read in a long time. OP you can lose weight by dieting alone, but it will not be as easy and you will not be any more fit. Not only that you won't look or feel as good and the SECOND you eat normally, you will gain it back. It's really easy for me to tell the difference in people that have dieted only and the ones that work out as well. I've lost over 50 lbs in the last 8 months and there was a lot of exercise involved. I haven't even reached my goal and I am way more fit and there is nothing like the high you feel after a workout. Particularly after reaching fitness goals (doing pulls ups, dead lifting, running an 8 minute mile, running over 5 miles at a time). These are only a few things I've accomplished in well under a year, starting at 230 lbs and not being able to run over 1/4 of a mile at a time. I look so much better and feel amazing everyday. Do not discount all the health benefits of exercise an its role in getting you to where you want to be. I wish you well in your journey![/quote]
