I put on 22 pounds my first year in Korea. Going to the gym is a great suggestion, but I just hate the going and coming. I got some software for aerobics (and strength) at home on the computer. It is called yourself!fitness. If it sounds good, do a search. I love it; it keeps me interested and motivated and saves all the time going to and coming from the gym.
I also just joined a diet website. It is anne-collins diet; you can search if interested. I know diet is a bad word, but I have found the motivation really helpful and just the keeping of a daily log of food intake and doing some blogging on it seem to be really helpful. So that's what I'm using now: yourself!fitness and anne-collins. It is good so far, down 6 pounds. |

| I lost a lot of weight by simply changing my diet. Exercise is over-rated, IMO, and people use it as an excuse to eat junk. |

Exercise is not overrated. You can choose to eat junk food in moderation if you exercise. Your options are much more limited if you don't exercise. A combination of diet and exercise is obviously best. Building a little muscle makes a world of difference. A pound of muscle burns 50 calories a day. A pound of fat burns......2. |
