80% of weight loss is diet, exercise is a very inefficient way to lose weight, while you burn a few more calories, you get stronger more muscles and that makes you hungrier.
If you just jog for a half hour three times a week that's really all the exercise you need to be healthy. The weight control comes from diet.
Did....did I not say I lost a ton of weight? Like yes I know this. I said I don't get the joy from the exercise part of losing weight others get since exercise was the example used. Dieting wasn't brought up at all so I didn't feel a need to mention it.
