You don't know much about science, do you?[/quote]

New poster here. I don't know much about science, but I dI'd know enough that at the age of 37 after having two kids I managed to lose 40lbs. and I know enough of how to have kept it off for 5 years now.

I will give you FREE advice. I did it by eating less, making better food choices, and moving more. It is that simple. not very scientific,  bit it works every single time. My DH did the exact same thing and lost 80lbs.

Because I'm now a regular at the gym I've also seen dozens of people do...wait for it.....THE EXACT SAME THING![/quote]

I've seen my wife eat well and exercise like a fiend only to hit a plateau that's about 25 pounds above where she'd like to be. Bodies metabolize food differently, and you have to account for that. [/quote]

Well I too could exercise like a maniac and only loose a little weight.  Diet is critical. Also, in losing 40lbs I've hit a plateau multiple times. When that happened, I had to switch up my exercise routine. I'm 140#s and 5'9" and for me to lose those last 10lbs I had to make a MAJOR change. I have an office job. In addition to exercise at the gym, at the office, I use the bathroom on the 7th floor. I walk up those stairs 4 times a day, more if I drink a lot of water. On nice days, I eat my lunch outside for 20 min and use the remaining 30 minuets to walk on the WOD trail next to my office.  The key to making your hormones and metabolism function AS IT SHOULD, is to avoid being sedentary and no, "chasing" after kids does not count. Something that brings you to a point right before you sweat on a regular basis.

Someone at my office set up a treadmill desk and walks very slowly (think 2MPH) and clocks 40 miles a week at the office and she changed nothing about her diet and lost 25lbs that first month. She has lost 70 in total after then making slight changes to her diet.[/quote]
