Just eating calories and no exercising?

Same thing happened to me last week. I didn't work out for a full week, but stayed at or under my calories. I'm sure you will still lose weight, just not as fast. But I don't really know

You should still be able to lose weight, as long as you stay below your BMR, but remember this:
It would still be good to get some excercise... so you can build muscle. If you want a toned body, you have to work for it.

From everything I've read weight loss is a 'simple' in and out equation: if you expend more energy than you take in you'll lose weight. So...strictly speaking you cna lose weight just by reducing calories. And weight loss is generally considered to be about 85% food and 15% exercise. But that doesn't mean that exercise isn't vitally important. It tones and stengthens you and causes a rush of endorphins that make you feel better mentally and thus be more likely to stay the course of a lifestyle change. And losing weight needs to be a whole package - a real change in lifestyle - so that you are more likely to stay with it. So even if you don't absolutely need to exercise to lose weight there are just too many reasons why you should. And you've got one of them in your profile picture...exercising will keep you healthy and active for your little one and I know you think she's worth it, right? :happy:

Thanks everyone, it's what I figured but had to make sure. On the other hand... basically exercising to eat more calores right?

Well yes u get to eat more BUT I exercise to lose more weight and to tone my body.. I would suggest maybe some situps here and there and some bicep curls or something just to stay toned.. IDK just my opinion.. PLUS exercise makes u feel soooo much better about what u r doing.. Hope everything works out for u.. Goodluck!!

Will you lose weight without exercise? Of course you will.

Can you still be healthy without exercise? Eh...not as much. Your heart and lungs need to be worked out, they need to be stronger. So while you may be lighter, you may not be all that much healthier.

And know, the more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns, just by being alive. So in order to burn MORE calories (aside from exercise calories), you need muscle mass. And I'm not talking body builder big or anything.

Making time to exercise is just like making time to eat, to do your hair, to watch tv. If you say you don't have time, you won't. If you say you'll figure it out, you may. If you say you WILL exercise, you'll find the time.

You can absolutely lose weight without exercise. You exercise to help keep the weight off, to be healthy, to have energy, to have a healthy body, strong bones, endurance, strength, a healthy cardiovascular system, muscle burns calories 24/7. You sleep better, your body looks better, It increases your balance, coordination, and agility. Helps prevent osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and non–insulin-dependent diabetes. Strengthens bones and muscle, giving you the functional strength for everyday living.
It increases muscle strength and endurance and improves flexibility and posture, regular exercise helps to prevent back pain. Exercise can cause release of chemicals called endorphins into your blood stream. These chemicals give you a feeling of happiness and positively affect your overall sense of well-being, which means lower stress levels. Exercise also aids your digestive system, increases flexibility, reduces varicose veins, can help balance the metabolism, can help you you regulate an out-of-control appetite, improve circulation....point being it does more then just allow you to eat more calories.
