  • I lost nothing for **3 weeks**, despite gym-ing and walking. Admittedly not every day's eating was perfect, but overall my intake had dropped a lot and my calorie burn had gone up massively.

  • Oh, how I agree! I hate exercise most of the time, because I pick something that I don't really enjoy doing but it's convenient!
