[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not "dumb" that there is no correlation between weight loss and exercise, it is a fact. There is a huge correlation between maintaining weight loss and exercise. Look it up using google scholar or something. And, of course, there is a correlation between exercise and living long and well. Right now OP is focused on weight loss, and it sounds like she is pretty active already. Her problem, therefore, is likely to be calories in, rather than calories out. Everyone has phases in their weight loss, and the "dumb" poster seems to have really taken to exercise and it makes her feel fabulous, which is awesome. But it doesn't work that way for everyone - some people need to lose weight first, and ease into exercise. Just saying the OP doesn't need to feel like she CAN'T lose weight without going to the gym. She can, for sure. [/quote]

She can. I agree with you that it is possible. And after eating and not exercising her way into being overweight her diet will have to be PERFECT. Not taking a well rounded approach to weight loss and fitness is setting her up for failure. Downplaying the benefits of even that one mile is misleading. People who are out of shape and overweight don't just become perfect eaters overnight. It's a process. Getting in whatever exercise you can will help with any slip ups she has with her diet. Not to mention the numerous other health benefits. And by the way if she ran even one mile everyday, that she doesn't now, and ate the same exact thing she would lose weight. I've lost 50 lbs within the last year, but it's been close to 100 in the last 3 years. I know how hard it is to maintain your diet day in and day out. Sometimes you need a break. When you have diet & exercise you can cut back on one or the other. It's a great way to have long term success. And no matter what telling people not to exercise is just ridiculous. [/quote]
