I am super unmotivated. I tried running but it hurt by big ole breastfeeding boobs no matter how much support I had. All I really want to do is yoga but honestly glorified stretching isn't going to help with my mushy belly !!! I really really need to do better about carb intake. I haven't been eating very well but I never really do. I think the suff I've been eating lately (easy to grab and eat quickly) are just more carb heavy. Granola bars , peanut butter crackers , cheez its.... Why doesn't this magic pill exist ?!?! Waaaaaah ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight/page/2#post-671998 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:15:09 +0000 photojane 671998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Magic pill? I can't do either for longer than 2 weeks. I'm just so freakin' tired. And I love cake.</p> <p>I keep telling myself that once it warms up I'll take Sadie on daily walks. We'll see how that goes. Maybe you can force me?! Send me mean messages or something? "Janie, GET YOUR FAT BUTT OUTSIDE AND WALK THAT BABY!" That might work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671980 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:05:08 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 671980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>definitely exercise!! although i have found that between dieting-no exercise versus exercise-no dieting, the first one works better. sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671906 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:18:15 +0000 MrsStar 671906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd prefer magic! Otherwise I guess exercise? Though I'm pretty lazy. I just like my food too much and indulge in the wrong things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671895 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:13:27 +0000 EBSC 671895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diet for sure. I never seem to be able to convince myself to go to the gym regularly. I like classes, but it's a huge time/money commitment, so.... calorie counting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671857 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:48:13 +0000 Dapple Grey 671857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eat all the food!</p> <p>I'd much rather excercise ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671851 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:42:51 +0000 mlm2934 671851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>allllll exercise </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671839 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:36:43 +0000 lilyofthewest 671839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd really prefer magic to diet or exercise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671783 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 18:48:57 +0000 Vegmama 671783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: I've tried both time after time ... Finally, I made a big lifestyle change with my diet (I'm not considering it a diet), AND started 5K Runner. It's hard ... I miss cheese &amp; bread. But, I'm feeling so much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671760 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 18:38:35 +0000 BananaPancakes 671760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exercise. I love working out and hate dieting.

I love working out and love how my body looks when I'm working out regularly. And I actually don't really believe in dieting anyway - I believe in everything in moderation and making sensible choices. </p> <p>I've been fortunate enough to never have been in a position where I've had to lose weight (other than post-baby but that all came off on its own anyway) but I can say with certainty that I would be an utter failure at dieting - aside from the fact that it would make me grumpy, whereas working out releases all those feel good endorphins and is so much fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671727 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 18:28:45 +0000 Reese 671727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exercise! </p> <p>I have such a sweet tooth </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671694 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 18:13:48 +0000 blackbird 671694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exercise, but they go hand in hand for me. You can't out exercise a bad diet! Exercise is more about feeling good and being strong, though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671487 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:00:57 +0000 Dandelion 671487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exercise...I love food (especially sweets!) WAY too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671482 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 15:54:17 +0000 Anagram 671482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's easiest for me to do both....and I've tried the either-or methods. No matter what, you have to not eat or burn 3500 calories to make a pound of fat lost. So that means either 500 calories a day/7 days a week of exercise or dieting to lose only 1 lb a week. 2 lbs a week means having to burn 1000 calories a day, which is almost impossible for me to do by just purely dieting or purely exercising either way.</p> <p>I much prefer doing half and half. Cutting calories and exercising to be able to eat more calories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671477 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 15:50:25 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 671477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diet. Both are so hard I for me though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671389 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 14:55:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 671389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think doing only one or the other is a bad weight loss plan, and I kind of suck at both. If I wanted to drop weight fast- diet. If I wanted to be healthier, exercise. I eat pretty healthy, I just eat too much sometimes. </p> <p>If we are granting wishes I'd rather be naturally skinny and enjoy exercise so it was fun to go out and run or whatever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671377 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 14:50:25 +0000 chibee 671377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exercise for sure! but for me, losing weight is 80% diet and 20% exercise unfortunately, i can work out until the cows come home, if i don't change my eating i won't lose a pound ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-exercise-or-diet-to-lose-weight#post-671375 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 14:50:03 +0000 MrsKoala 671375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exercise.
