[quote=Anonymous]Yeah for you!  I am a former aerobics instructor and personal trainer.   Here is what exercise will do for you:  1) build muscle that burns calories even when you are sitting still; 2) improve your muscle tone; 3) give you cardio vascular endurance that will help you in day to day activities, including walking upstairs or playing with your kids; 4) provide you an energy boost without food; 5) improve your self esteem, because, if you keep at it, you keep proving to yourself you can do things you never could do before; 6) burn calories at a higher rate for a period of time after you stop exercising; and 7) create a calorie deficit if you do not eat to compensate for the exercise.

It is true that exercise doesn't burn  massive calories if you are just walking, but that is not the point.  Going to the gym regularly now builds in you a habit that will help you not just lose weight, but keep it off and look great.

I give you big gold stars for getting in there.  No one in there cares what you look like.  As someone said above, most people are just happy to see you finding a way to get fit.

GREAT JOB.  Keep it up.[/quote]
