I know the 'healthiest" way to lose way is with a calorie deficit and exercise, but whose had successful weight loss with a calorie deficit alone, with little, to no exercise? My friend lost 50 pounds eating strictly at a calorie deficit of 1500 calories and exercised very little, and she looks amazing! Any success stories??

    I'm losing weight on 1500 with no strenuous excercise. I try to get a 30 minute walk every day and use handweights for a few minutes every night. It is working for me.

    I lost about 10 lbs last summer w/o too much exercise (I was working 12-16hr days so no time).

    However, since I'm around 17% body fat, I think exercise is necessary if you're at a healthy weight and want to lose a bit more to get the niced toned look.

    Anyone on weight watchers who doesn't exercise has success with it. I know a woman who has lost 30 lbs on it and never exercises.

    My cousin has, she's lost 34 pounds with a calorie deficit alone. She exercises very little, and she doesn't even do weight watchers. She eats whatever she wants but it proportions.
