    I don't exercise much but I've lost already just by counting my calories. So I say yes

    I lost 50 pounds (gained that back plus more but that's another story) with diet and walking my dog for 5-10 minutes and sometimes I didn't do it every day. All I ate was fruits and vegetables. Water only as well. But make sure you exercise along with dieting. The weight will fly off quicker that way too. And plus exercising will make you feel a lot better.

    Take your measurements - and try to resist the temptation to weigh!

    Yes, I lost the pounds by cutting calories only and I have a sedentary job. I have since added some exercise to my routine and very glad I did :smile:

    I just lost about 12 pounds in 24 days and feel great. I changed eating habits and exercised...a little help from some supplements for energy but I think I needed those since I needed energy due to the less calories I was getting.

    I have :) But am I proud of it? Not completely... even though you can lose weight without exercising, doesn't mean you're healthy, or as healthy as you could be. I wish I wasn't so darn lazy .-.
    I've only lost 20 pounds by dieting, but I was fortunate and got a hold of things before they got out of control, so I didn't have much to lose and I'm maintaining now (and still not exercising, shame on me).
    My mother has lost 60 pounds just dieting before, but then she gained it back :/ it should really be more about a lifestyle than "dieting".
    So if you're looking for comfort in the idea that you don't need to exercise, well, you don't.
    But exercising is important nonetheless and will have more noticeable effects.

    I started off doing the 30 Day Shred but have become rather lacklustre of late on the whole working out thing - I just try to stay active and keep under my TDEE and still losing/have actually noticed more muscle tone - I think because I'm losing body fat my muscles are becoming more obvious? I supplement with light strength training 3-4 times a week

    Haven't done any exercise at all. Plan on starting strength training when I get a little below goal weight. I'd start now, but seeing the # on the scale decrease more slowly would be kind of discouraging.
