    @blackbird: @Smurfette: Yeah, I need cake too. And vodka. That's why I think @Blackbird: is right re a happy medium (or close third!) between the two.

    Diet, but I hate exercising

    Definitely go hand in hand. However, if you watch your diet and not exercise you may see more success than if you exercise and not eat right. (Most likely on an already sedentary, overweight individual).

    @grizz: apparently it's reeeeally common to gain weight because the body needs so many calories to fuel for the intense load of distance running (or any other similar training programme). I think there's a tipping point between eating and exercising for losing or maintaining weight and eating and exercising for training - hope that made sense!

    @Leialou: they're pretty awesome, especially in the summer.

    @Mrs. Pen: yes! And it's not photoshopped!

    @MsLipGloss: I do hate the way my legs feel when I wear a dress in the summer.

    Yes, definitely diet - results show up more quickly too, I can feel a difference within a few days/week when I stop with all the treats/splurges in my diet.

    Weight loss definitely happens quicker with changing your diet...you can consume 1,000 so easily but it's hard work to burn that amount off with exercise. So if you're able to change with you eat you can cut out calories so much faster than you can burn it off.

    I donno. I think if it's someone with bad diet and bad exercise then diet will have more effect first. But after a certain point at least for me I don't lose weight unless I have a solid muscle tone and am really working out (like getting out of breath cardio, muscle burning lifting).

    At the point of not just eating junk food but getting square meals - getting a solid workout is much much better for me both physically and mentally than trying to avoid a cookie or keep cutting out calories. I also like how I look and I feel better when I focus on exercise than dietary restriction.

    @sandy: maybe, but muscle burns more calories, and after high intensity exercise your body keeps burning long after you stop.

    I think for most people diet is easier to change, but for real health and long term weight loss i really do think you have to do both.

    @Leialou: haha well @MsLipGloss: and I were discussing thigh gap in the weight loss thread I actually don't care either however that's the thing- I was getting chaffing for awhile wearing dresses. I mostly wear bike shorts under my dresses now for comfort!!

    @Mrs. Lion: I agree for health and to have a strong body you need to exercise...restricting diet only makes you skinny fat. Doing both is ideal for sure. I loved how I looked when I was working out 4 times a week but the only time I had an absolutely flat stomach was when I also restricted my diet and cut carbs

    Exercise but I hate it, hate it, hate it. It is painful! However it is liberating not to worry about my weight. I just don't bother to pay attention anymore and have never been happier.
