    If you are asking can you lose weight without exercise the answer is yes. Weight loss comes from a calorie deficit.

    Fitness comes from exercise and has a lot of benefits for your health. Consider adding some exercise that you enjoy. Even walking for short times will be beneficial.

    Yes of course you will lose weight. But I noticed if I exercise daily while losing weight I don't seem to gain weight as easily on days I may have cheated. Plus exercise makes you feel wonderful.

    Healthy diet and being the correct weight are huge parts of a healthy lifestyle - but exercise is also important.
    If your goal is purely weight loss then of course exercise isn't a requirement. But hopefully you are aiming higher than that.
