Question

Has anyone been able to lose without excercise?  

Answer 1

Yes. 25 years ago i I lost 75 lbs , hit my goal without ever stepping in a gym. With that being said i I do workout everyday now. Still at my goal. Still doing ww. Best program ever.  

Answer 2

Yes. no special workouts. just running after two toddlers all day long does the trick. lol but for me it’s mainly about food intake.  

Answer 3

Yes but, there comes a point when you have to do both. You will hit a plateau and need to add in exercise.  

Answer 4

Yes. Now I did this before and lost faster when I walked, but now I am not doing anything and losing slow and steady so it is easier to keep off.  

Answer 5

Nope. been doing this for 6 weeks and only down 2 lbs. I exercise everyday and stay within my points  

Answer 6

If your answer is yes, are you a good witch or bad witch?  only kidding but i wish!

Ruth, sorry about your loss. May you find peace in the memories you shared. You’ve got this. Sending positive thoughts.  

Answer 54

Lost nearly 50 lbs in one year. Absolutely no exercise, and I am 69 years old.  

Answer 55

I lost without exercise but noticed that my body wasn’t shaped the way I wanted, that’s what prompted exercise for me. I have noticed that I do lose more consistently when I exercise

Answer 56

Yes, 55-57 pounds. Just normal day stuff, I am a caregiver for a lady with early dementia and I do her housework. Lost between age 69 and a half and 70 3/4 years old. Walking is good, though, but I have a diabetic Charcot foot. Will be 71 this month. May seem like it took me awhile, but the time went by quickly, so busy. But most importantly, I lost the weight, which had seemed like an impossibility!  

Answer 57

As you age you need to work out to increase or maintain your metabolism. Anybody who thinks they can lose or maintain weight loss without some sort of workout is fooling themselves!

Expensive but the best

Answer 101

Yes food is 80% responsible

Answer 102

Yes, I have lost 10.  

Answer 103

So proud of my WW tribe for the miles and video tapes they do! I try to get any type of movement and “ strolls” with my husband. It’s moving not targeted excercise that we are able to do. Anything helps and everyone is different. Good luck to everyone on their journeys!  

Answer 104

Initially yes. But to keep it going I've had to walk for 30 minutes everyday--and now that I'm within 10#s of goal I've had to up walking by 30 minutes to make it an hour, and I've had to drop my daily points by 5. I'm able to lose a # a week at this pace.  

Answer 105

I wish I could

Answer 106

Me! I don’t do anything more than my normal activity. Working, house cleaning, yard work. Down 15 since 2/24 and I’m 56

Answer 107

With diet and increased walking, yes. I’ve never been big into the “and now I am going to exercise for 40 minutes by performing this series of maneuvers” thing. But finding ways to natural increase activity in my daily life? Yes.  

Answer 108

I did. I lost 30 lbs. last year with zero exercise. However, once I got to goal (I'm Lifetime) I realized my arms were very flabby. I've always hated to exercise but have found I like taking fitness classes. So, at 63 I started working out 2-3 times per week (about an hour) at our local gym. I think once I started seeing real results it motivated me. Since the "shelter in place" I now do various YouTube workout videos 5 times a week. (I like @backflow Sansone walking videos). I change them up so I don't get bored. I also do arm workouts with weights 3x/week. (about 15 min) Good luck!  

Answer 109

Exercise doesn’t do much for me aside from being an appetite suppressant.  

Answer 110

I don't exercise much but lost 25 lbs.  

Answer 111

I think it depends how much you have to lose.  

Answer 112

‍♀️ can’t say I’m proud of it (exercise is a part of being healthy regardless of weight loss), but I lost my 40 lb goal without any exercise. Finding better eating have it’s and reducing foods that my body likes to convert to fat was all I needed to drop weight. That said, I’m now flabby in places only exercising will tone.  

Answer 113

When I was younger no exercise was necessary. I lost weight so easily. Now, being 46, it takes weeks to get a pound off with exercise. It’s frustrating!  

Comments

@paraldehyde68710 I am with on that It is frustrating to no end. I had back surgery this past winter and no exercise per Dr. I hope to start to swim soon. Be this cold spring

Answer 136

Lots of veggies But u still need to move . start with some low impact chair stretches / exercise , if possible get a mini exercise bike pedal As u lose weight you’ll find less issue with ankle, knees, legs and back

Answer 137

Track WW points and do on line zoom exercise classes. I’ve found free Zumba classes for every day of the week,
