I started exercising moderately(walking/weights/pilates). I tried to eat "clean" as much as I could, but when that didn't work and the exercising started to wane. I signed up for MFP and joined a gym.

I like this idea too! I'm a teacher with the summer off(woohoo). I have be treating the gym as my "part time job" and have been pretty dedicated to going.

I've never been a calorie counter, instead looking at carbs and sugar. That has not worked for me. I've amped up the exercise and used this site to…

I have bad knees(unstable patellas) and running has just never been my thing. Hurts too much. I agree with everyone about swimming, biking and the elliptical machine. Those are all exercises the PT ordered, along with strength training. Also, Pilates has helped me tremendously. Keeps your core strong so you can move more…
