Please don't slam me. I know all of the science in so many different forms (cals in v cals out/high intensity calorie burners/building muscle to burn calories) but I am really struggling. Here is my experience.
Used to go to gym almost obsessively. Looking back, I was toned. The lowest I could get my weight was sitting just within the 'healthy weight'. That to me was my low weight but when I told people, their reaction was always 'well you don't look that heavy'.
Babies etc later (10 years has gone by), I have kept up with a variety of exercise approx 3-5 x per week. I am a stone heavier. I have been to the 2 main slimming groups and this is what I have seen.
People who do not exercise lose weight quickly.
People who do a significant amount of exercise struggle to lose.
It's not the muscle weighs more than fat thing because if you are building muscle, it will help to burn calories and unless you are super toned, you should still lose fat weight. There might be a plateau then a loss.
I just want to know whether anyone else has experienced an easier loss when they don't Exercise?

Could it be that exercise does not aid weight loss?
