    the next 2 days will be challenging as it is rainy and cold out (well uppr 40s!) which makes me want to go back to hibernating in front of a heater. LOL.

    Exercise calories for me are never going to help me lose weight. I have always done a lot of exercise and activity. But what it does do is depress my appetite I think. Which is interesting that some of you say it makes you a lot more hungry. For me after a run or walk outside I tend to NOT want as much to eat. Now if it is an excessive workout I think the next day or so I might get the "starvies" but for some reason exercise helps to keep me on track when I need to reduce cals. It's not the "burn" but the endorphins or my brain. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ either way we do know it's move it or lose it as we get older and sometimes we lose it anyway due to injury or chronic issues so we have to find an alternative. And there is ALWAYS an alternative we just have to be creative.

    It decreases my appetite, too. Definitely.

    Insightful post!

    Was sure I posted but it did crash once while trying so I guess that second attempt didn’t go through. 😑

    Like @MadisonMolly2017 and @SummerSkier I am also someone who has decreased appetite when I am very active. I have some health issues that are improved with exercise, even though it is the last thing I feel like doing when I am in a flare. The nature of the intensity and type of exercise sometimes needs to change when I am unwell, but the benefit is always there.
