    Most definetly. I work out minimum 5 days alternating cadio and strength training. I feel much stronger, energetic and more than anything my knee pain is almost negligible (arhritis in both knees) and my wheezing is gone.

    I definitely think it aids in weight loss but I don't work out much. I do try to ride my stationary bike for like 20 minutes everyday, but I had no motivation today.

    Yes!!

    I couldn't lose without exercise. I finished C25K last week, and now have added running to my routine. For me, it's not an option.

    Yes...I definitely exercise daily mostly cardio. I've never tried this without working out so I don't know if it's speeding up the weightloss

    And you aren't sarcastic either! :wink: Love it!

    And guess what, NEWS FLASH: the secret to weight loss is diet & exercise!!!! Go figure!

    I do CrossFit and TaeKwonDo; run 5Ks, hunt, fish, swim, water ski, you name it!!!! Life is not a spectator sport!!! Get out there and do whatever you have a passion for people!

    You can eat at a deficit to lose weight and look good in your clothes, or you can exercise and eat to fuel your exercise to look good naked. I've been looking pretty good naked recently.

    You can lose weight with diet alone, but if you want to change your body's SHAPE, you gotta work out...Enjoy!!:drinker:

    I workout 6 or 7 times a week. Honestly, I never thought I'd ENJOY working out, but now I do. I feel it has definitely helped in my rapid reduction (70 lbs in 10 months), in making me look and feel better, and in improving my overall health. It has also helped me change some of my goals; I've never understood running until I started doing it with my wife; now we're doing 5K training and considering adventure races and a triathlon in the not-too-distant future.

    For my wife & I, working out has also helped with the eating issue. Once we started to see ourselves as athletes and put so much effort into taking care of our bodies, the idea of eating junk food ("poisoning the temple," as my wife would say) became much less appealing.

    I can not say if it speeds up weight loss but I do try to workout at least 3 times a week at minimum. It depends on how much time I have but I usually try to do between 40-60 minutes of cardio. But I have seen tons of people on here who don't workout and still lose weight.

    Hope I helped :flowerforyou:

    (P.S I joined January 9th of this year.)

    when I first started I did not work out. but after 4 mth I hit a wall. I did not loose any weight for a full month. I then started working out 4 times a week for 1 hr. I do a boot camp class now. I wish I had started it from the beginning. Not only has it sped up my loss, but I am toning my arms and legs. I feel sooooo much better when I do exercise. good luck with your journey.

    I was exercising and eating 1200 calories or less a day, and everyone on here told me I needed to stop exercising or eat more if I'm going to exercise. Well, I am eating still around 1200 cal a day-trying to up it a little because of everyones persuasion. I haven't exercised for about 5 days now, will see if this is going to make a difference. Help me or hurt me? But I was barely losing anything since I had been exercising.

    I do work out. I know that it is important for my weight loss and also mentally.

    I struggle with finding a sustainable exercise for me for long term. I can get all gangbusters about boot camp or spinning class when I am really motivated to lose weight, but I find I don't keep it up for too long.

    My favorite form of exercise is walking with friend. I love the social chit chat and the fresh air and the exercise.

    For the last month I have been working on running. I enjoy it but I need to work on my motivation and my mental blocks.

    I know I would be happy if I could find a good long term fit that was really enjoyable for the process, not just about the results.

    Yes. Going to the gym is a bit inconvenient for me so I just do workout DVDs at home. Currently, I am doing Insanity. It's a 60 day workout program.

    I started working out and lost 70lbs in 1 1/2 years. Joined mfp and am finally am working on changing my eating habits. I refuse to be thin and unhealthy. I now need to workout to clear the cobwebs from my brain, I am not an athlete, but I can now lift heavy things, run if i have too (i'm not a runner...wish i was), and swim faster. I want to age gracefully and having muscles around these joints will surely help. I switch up my exercise, I do zumba, cardio in the gym, lift weights, run and or walk outside, swim, and try different fitness classes. I workout minimum of 3 days per week for at least 1hr, cardio & lifting, on a good week its 5-6 days.

    Haha, I've heard it summed up as, "Diet to look good with your clothes on, exercise to look good when they come off!"
