I've suffered with excess weight most of my life. It doesn't help that sit at a desk for up to twelve hours a day. There's more to losing weight than just calories out are more than calories in. You have to be active. I've been on a reduced calorie diet. Sure, you'll lose weight at first; however, if you don't develop a healthy lifestyle (getting out and doing things on a regular basis) the weight will just come back.
When I left for undergrad over ten years ago, I was heavy. During my undergrad years, I walked everywhere or rode a bike everywhere. I lost about fifty pounds in two years. I put all of it back on and more once I graduated and started working at a desk all day. I feel miserable everyday now because of all this excess weight I carry, which is why I've decided to start riding a bike again everywhere when I get back to California on Monday. I'm finally going to put the car to rest.
