As its been said plenty times over. Yup. I walked for most my exercise. No need to get heart rate up to be burning calories. Seriously. Now to be transparent i walked ALOT and i have a fairly active (its really active lol) job. But iv done enough to know i definatly still lose when i dont move so much i simply enjoy moving more because i get more food. Yum0

I lost a good amount of weight about 10 years ago without exercise. I was frustrated though because although the scale said I lost weight, my body didn't looked the same. I eventually gained the weight back and then some.
This time around I chose to focus on fitness and my body composition it was a better fit for me. I wanted a leaner, tighter body and I need exercise to do that. Plus it has been easy to maintain my weight loss.
But yes, I do know plenty of people who are losing weight without exercise.1 -
In 2017 I lost 100 pounds with no exercise, beyond regular day to day activity. I began walking/hiking at that point and eventually lost 50 more pounds. Quit logging and gained 50 back. That is why I am back on MFP now. Maintenance was difficult for me, losing the weight was pretty easy in comparison.0

2400 doesn't seem high to me...esp now that we can see your stats. But be prepared that will come down as you lose.zealouszoey wrote: »I wanted to clarify that I’m not sitting around all day. I move a lot at my job and stay active at home. I’m just unable to exercise in a way that raises my heart rate too high. :-) I’ll double check with my primary doc on my calories when I see him next month too.
If you don't want to raise your heart rate than yes you can lose the weight without doing that but that doesn't mean no exercise per say.
Try going for 10-15 min walks and increase the duration and/or speed as you can...
walking burns calories.

I've lost 30lb in the last 48 days without exercise.
I expect that this is either total fallacy or there is something odd going on and if it really did happen it would be very unhealthy to lose that much weight in such a short amount of time if it was due to calorie restriction (unless WLS was involved and you are under the care of a RD)
I don't understand why people read that post and are all like wow I want that??? smh.3 -
I lost 80 lbs without exercise or eating vegetables. Then I started exercising regularly. CICO works.1
