Exercise won't help you to lose weight, but it is a good idea for you to build some muscle. That will help you a little in the long run with your metabolism. Good luck 🍀 

The combination of limited calories and exercise seems to be working for me. But exercise needs to include some cardio, I am aiming for 30-36 minutes of running 3-4 times a week, and Pilates 3-4 times a week. 

Combination of eating healthy but in a defecit and using exercise (cardio) to speed up the process. Adding some weight training also helps. 

Just keep loading your food and monitor your macronutrients goals Set your carb protein and fat ; for instance carb 25 protein40 fat 35 and try and stick to your percentages daily. 

I do a HIIT workout if 30mins, burns 300–500 cals 

Thanks folks  

For me I have been seeing good results with 30min a day of jogging. For me exercise is a must! I definitely lose quicker if I exercise..diet alone isn't enough for me. 

I worked on getting my eating habits right first. Then later on, like a month or three in I started working for 10k steps and 30 min of getting my heart rate up (which could be anything from a family walk to time on the elliptical or a YouTube video) then I went through a stressful period where I got 5k steps and mostly had to sit and I am still not back to pre stress activity levels but I have still lost weight by just keeping to my calories (1400kcal and now 1700-1800 during the colder winter months) have lost over 15 kg's since starting on 3 Jan 2022
