    Not necessary, but it isn't all about losing weight, is it?

    just from my own personal experience, i would say that exercise has had a far bigger impact on my weight loss than my diet. i was sick for about 2 weeks over the holidays and barely ate anything. i couldn't go to the gym (i was contagious) i gained weight. my calorie intake was just as small as before i was sick, so basically i wasn't eating any differently. the gym was the only difference. i work-out 6 days per week, and honestly feel like it has so strongly impacted my lifestyle, i can't imagine NOT going. so, to answer your question...CRUCIAL!!! :smile:
