Anyone else lost more weight when they quit obsessing about exercise? I was exercising 6 or 7 times a week, some days twice a day, and some days only a short walk. Ive cut it back to exercising 3 -4 times a week and am finding that Im losing more now. So happy as before I was alway deflated feeling like I worked my *kitten* off with little result. Yes I know I was probably over doing it and not "resting" on my rest days, but Im glad Ive cut back and now do enjoy my rest days and my obsession is not quite so much now. Here's to weightloss....however which way it works!!

    I have wondered the same thing except I love my workout so it makes it hard to miss. My problem is I was going 5-6 days a week from the get go and did not easy into it and hurt my knee. Then I kept working out with a brace. I've finally gotten to the point to where I know if I want to play harder, faster, stronger, and burn more calories I'm going to have to stay off it for a while and give it a break. I think I tend to watch my calories more and eat less when I'm not working out.
