Re: Anyone lost weight without exercise??

I have a hard time finding time to exercise. Usually I find 20 minutes on some weekdays to do a DVD of some sort - like the 1 mile Walking Away the Pounds or the 20 Minute Cardio from Turbo Jam. If I don't have time for that, I will usually take a couple of 10 minute walks or I will try to do some crunches, lunges, arm weights - something like that. I have also climbed my front steps for 10 minutes at a time.

Hey, if nothing else, turn on some music and dance - even if it's a kids' music tape and you get the kids to do it with you! When my ds was into the Wiggles, we would sometimes do the dance routines together. It was something we could bond over.

Ugh, I hear ya and I only have 2 kids! I've started MAKING time for me after dinner. I told my hubby that I'm going walking for 30-40 minutes every night, like it or not! LOL!

I definitly have to do it in the morning before anything else or I won't do it. We have great exercise equipment at my job that I may try to start using a couple days a week in September (I teach-the year is over soon).

I did the first time around without exercise and went down to 145... and a size 12/14. This time around, weighing 183, with exercise, I am the same size at this weight as I was almost 40 pounds lighter. AND I look a lot more proportionate. I think that says something.

Yep.....the first time I did Atkins, I did not exercise and lost weight...at one point, I was averaging a loss of 1 lb per day. I fell off the wagon though and gained it back....I don't know if I would have kept losing at that rate. At the time, I had some muscle and joint problems, so I couldn't exercise.

This time around, I still haven't exercised and the weight is not coming off as consistently. I plan to try to incorrporate some exercise in though. It is so much healthier and muscle tone will improve whereas with no exercise, you are less toned.

Good luck!
