Hi there

The latest research is showing that weight gain/loss relates is much more effected by food intake that exercise, or lack of it. I have found this really true - I have actually lost weight since I stopped going to the gym as I am eating healthier. Exercise is great, and very healthy, but the amount you have to exercise to loose weight is pretty phemonimal. It always seemed to me that after 20 minutes on the cross trainer I had worked off calories equivalant to half an small apple. Etc etc.

Maybe you could get some advice from a dietician? I am just focusing on eating healthy and that seems to be working for me. It's very slow, but then I put on weight very slowly as well, and I think that taking it off the same way is the best. Oh, the other thing the researchers are all talking about is portion size, that is important to.

hope this helps, and best of luck
