My weight has yo-yoed between 145 lbs and 212 lbs over the last 30 years. And all of that can be attributed to how much exercise I get daily, not nearly as much to what or how much I eat.

When I was 145 lbs I was running 5 miles a day, every day. When I was 212 lbs I was working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, and didn't have the energy, motivation, whatever, to exercise.

Thanks for this thread. You have just given me the motivation to lose some weight again. Right now I am at 192 lbs, about 30 pounds over a good weight for me. I can't run anymore with the bad knees, but I can certainly get on the stair climber, even though it's boring as hell.

I start tonight when I get home from work.
