[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It amusing, and telling, that OP asked a question about FITNESS and EXERCISE and being out of shape — yet most of the replies focus on or at least recommend diets and food restrictions.

Go back and re-read OP’s post. At no point does she ask you how to track calories or which entire food groups to eliminate.

Now you’ll all come back to tell me that the only/major way to stop being “overweight” (OPs word) is to diet diet diet.  That’s untrue.  We hard-core middle-aged athletes are evidence to the contrary.

You are wrong. Exercise makes you fit, dieting (meaning eating healthy and normal portions) makes you lose excess weight.
As long as you are eating junk and too many calories, you will never lose weight, no matter how much you exercise.

I'm not wrong.  OP lamented that she is no longer physically FIT and does not EXERCISE and wants to know how to GET STARTED EXERCISING.   She did say she's "overweight."  I assert, based both on my n=1 and on evidence from randomized controlled trials, that a person can lose weight and stop being "overweight" by maintaining their current caloric intake while significantly ramping up exercise.  aka, energy expenditure.  You know, science.
