Experiment

Marsha · 2004-08-01T21:40:39+00:00

Two months ago, I purposely stopped exercising, partly because I thought I couldn't feel any more improvement after the first several months. With no appreciable change in diet, I not only didn't lose any more weight, but I gained one pound. But, it feels like I gained at least 10. My clothes are tighter and I feel flabbier, not to mention sluggish. Last week, I started up again. Damn was that hard. Won't be doing that again. Marsha/Ohio

I start feeling lousy within a few days of stopping exercise. Feeling
down, irritable, etc.

Marsha -- That was no reason to stop. You can always get negative gains, if
you quit.

It was only part of the reason. I also wanted to see if
there was any verification of some posters' claims that you
don't need to exercise to lose weight. I suppose if I had
really cut calories a lot I would have lost some weight, but
still would have felt crappy. I'm proud of my ability to
get back on track without too much trouble.

You don't need to exercise to lose weight. However, losing weight while
doing the right kind of exercise has great benefit.

Good. But don't get off track as far as exercise is concerned -- and
especially not on purpose. Sometime [censored] happens and you'll have no
choice...

And, there's a theory that too much exercise causes you to die earlier
than you would had you exercised less.

Yeah, I heard that one....I wonder if spending 5+ hours on a bike every
weekend would get you into that catagory? Good thing one has to work for a
living!

You're too damn ornery to die. And even if you did, people
would be talking about you at your funeral. What are they
saying? "There are no Twix in the afterlife."

Funny, you're not the first to mention that.
