I liked the part at the end:

If you embark on a weight-loss journey that involves both adding exercise and cutting calories, Montclair's Diana Thomas warned not to count those calories burned in physical activity toward extra eating.

"Pretend you didn't exercise at all," she said. "You will most likely compensate anyway so think of exercising just for health improvement but not for weight loss."

 

 

Very informative article with lots of great reminders!  Thank you for sharing!

I lost 145 lbs with no organized exercise at all.  That being said, I became more active as I lost....just doing 'stuff'....still no organized exercise.
