If you want to lose weight without exercise does your calories have to be very low?

If you have lost weight and don't exercise is it hard to keep weight off?

I ask am asking for the ones who are unable to do exercise, I know exercise is good for the body and mind, but right now it's not something that can be done. thanks

    I'm not exercising (yet). Have been pretty steady losing the 1 pound a week. But I do intend to start doing something once I get to my first goal weight.

    By the way, your pics are fab!!!!!:wink:

    Exercise is not required for weight loss. Weight loss is about being at a health caloric deficit from your TDEE, which can be done through proper eating.

    Exercise is not required to keep weight off. Maintenance is about healthy eating at maintenance level.

    I lost about 30lbs last year and then hurt my back and literally spent the summer lying on my living room floor.

    I gained back about 15 pounds.

    Just eat under TDEE and you won't gain. If you are gaining, you aren't eating under TDEE.

    Personally, I can't. Even I stick to my reccomended calorie intake, I don't lose unless I move more than usual, and I have quite an active job. I do Just dance on the Wii, and Wii fit, also walking my dog. To be honest, I don't do any excersice I don't enjoy! I'm not confident enough to go to a gym, which is why using the kids Wii to excercise is perfect for me! :o)

    That doesn't mean anything. You gained weight because you ate more than you burned.
