Has anyone lost weight without exercise

[S(he) be(lie)ve(d) 151]

Crossfit is a good option. Just be careful. A good friend of mine is a physical therapist and she sees a ton of Crossfit injuries coming in.

With that said, I do 30 mins of cardio on my elliptical every other day. On the day that I don't do cardio, I do PIYO. It is a cross between Pilates and Yoga. It has you work against your own body weight to gain muscle mass. Love it!!!

I've lost weight without exercise, but I lose better when I exercise. As I get older I also realize I retain better range of motion and flexibility when I exercise, so I make it a point to get some type of activity in.

I did very little exercising the first 4 months - just walking a bit. I lost about 94 lbs. the first 4 months by really watching my carbs and getting my Protein and Water in daily. I did notice a slight stall from 3 1/2 to 4 month so about 1 week from my exact 4 month date I joined a gym and started working out 4-5 days a week. Since then I think I lost over around 12 lbs. (little over 2 weeks!) I feel so much better now. With the exercise I also increased my calories and Protein with actually is helping in my losing.

Best of luck!

@@Kindle,

You said you are a vet tech? How long were you out of work?

I am a nurses aide and we both on our feet all day and lift heavy things.

I'm not sure how long I should be out. My doc said 5 weeks?

@@tfarr I wanted to take two weeks, but ended up only taking 7 days off...I'm part owner in a two-person mobile practice (just me and the vet), so if I don't work, we are essentially shut down. I had a 20 pound lifting restriction for 3 weeks, so we had to be careful what surgeries and large animal visits we scheduled. But I was back to full duties by the 3 week mark. I actually had to pull double lifting duty by 6 weeks out because my vet had a hysterectomy and she had an 8 pound lifting restriction!
