I agree with you all that exercise is really helpful when trying to lose weight aggressively. For maintaining I think less will be needed, but I am not there yet. For me getting out and about is much easier than trying to work out at home, I do my resistance at home, but it is very efficient and doesn't take much time. My beach ramblings have gradually gone from 5 miles a day to 8-10, unless it is pouring rain and then it's less but I still get out. It is the thing I enjoy and therefore stick with. Eating is whole foods omnivore simple foods. Last time I checked in on progress was the new year, since then I have managed to lose 38lbs and dropped a few sizes. I have the luxury of time and know it would be much harder without, so am trying to make the best of it. Everyone just keep up the good work and it will pay off in the long run.
