    It will be a very long process to lose the weight though right?

    Genore, Here's what my doctor told me. First off, watching what you eat and staying within your calories is THE MOST IMPORTANT aspect to losing weight. She said that, once I got this under control (and logging everything on this site is the absolute BEST way to do this), then to add some weights and exercise. What is nice about doing even a little bit of exercise is that this then allows me to eat a bit more and still stay within my daily calorie goal. I'm on a 1200 calorie a day limit so doing, even an hour of light housekeeping (which we do anyway) lets me have another 200 calories. Make sense?

    It is regardless.

    It will take longer to reach the desired level of leanness because you will be losing a good deal of lean mass as well as fat.

    I agree, you won't look how you want at the weight if you don't attempt to exercise at all.

    Yep, but you are a super super flabby version of yourself. Same shape just smaller, looser skin version of exactly how you look right now.

    Yes you can. But exercise is what shapes your body and improves your cardiovascular health.

    Not necessarily. Depends how many extra calories of exercise you feel you can do.

    Wow I've seen this question being asked over and over again for the last 2 weeks. It's getting to be quite the hot topic. You might want to use the search function to see some more in depth discussions on this subject but the short answer is yes. Stay in calorie deficit and you will lose weight.

    IMO - of course I'm gonna add my two cents. I don't get the concept of not working out. I love it. There are so many benefits. That's just my view.

    Diet beats exercise every time. It's about 80% diet, 10% exercise & 10% genetics. You can't out train a bad diet.

    You don't need to go to a gym to exercise. Go for a walk. Do some push ups at home. Something.

    Although you won't have to worry too much about losing much LBM if you're extremely overfat/obese. As you get leaner, it will start becoming a very relevant concern.

    Sure. Doesn't mean you will be any more healthy or happy about yourself.
