Lower your fat, you lower your calories. Exercise and the carbs are your fuel. Sit on your butt and carbs go to said butt. The main reason most people do not exercise is "excuses." They always have an "excuse" why they don't have time to exercise. They have time to sit and watch Dukes of Hazard or Steinfeld reruns one hundred times, or eat three whoppers with extra large fries, with that diet coke (like it would matter after consuming over 3,000 calories), but they don't have time to exercise.

After retiring from the Army, I did not want to run anymore. 35 miles a week for 20 years wore my knees out. I got lazy, sat on my butt, ate, and got fat. 275 pounds on 5-10 fat. Fat assed. Then my wife and I wised up. The 140/98 blood pressure and medicine to control it, the 270 level cholesterol, the constant aches and pains convinced us both. I lost 125 pounds, my wife lost 65. I weight 155 now, she weights 105 on her 5-1 frame. We both ride bikes 20 plus miles in doors each night on our trainers. In good weather, we ride on the road 25-35 per night, weekends 40-50. This ain't your 10 MPH riding either on flat ground. This is 18-plus MPH, and up 7, 8 9 percent grade hills in our area. This is sweat hard riding. Not your touring riding. I rode over 7,500 miles this year. I quit watching worthless TV, quit eating lousy foods. I now have a 118/78 BP and my cholesterol dropped to 150. So, yes, exercise works. PILLS DON'T. Get off said fat butt and workout. Do something beside sit on said fat butt! /end rant! ;^)
