Thanks,

    well jst to start with, exercise builds muscle which you need to burn the fat..... it increases cardio health for your heart and circulatory system ....and creates endorphins which make you feel happy!

    You can lose weight without exercise but it is more fun to move :)

    best of luck to you!

    Google the subject, I read loads on this yesterday and a lot that people say on here is fear from overweight people about not eating enough...

    Because MFP already builds in a deficit for you so if you don't eat your exercise calories, you run the risk of not eating enough food to maintain your body properly. Read the two links in my signature for some more detailed explanations. Good luck!
