Well, it happened again.

Hoping to lose a little weight I took a very physical job in July.
This job consisted of three hours Monday through Friday of stooping,
bending, carrying, climbing stairs, mopping floors, etc. I am here to
tell you it was one hell of a work out. I started sweating profusely
about the first 15 minutes I got there and continued for the entire 3
hours.

Also, during this time my diet did not change at all. In fact, I
would say that I snacked less since I was working those three hours
during a time which I would most probably be snacking .

After three months, did I lose an ounce? Not a friggin' ounce - not
one. Not one.



What kind of "snacks" are you eating?

Don't let it discourage you! How do you feel? Are you feeling healthier?
Have more energy? Can you do the physical labour more easily than when you
first started?

I am also very discouraged with my weight as it STAYS with me! I seem to
never lose but I eat less and less. I felt that it is because I can't
exercise enough but while you exercise VERY with HARD
work ,you lost no weight. Sometimes it just can't make sense. I can see
that you would have some EXTRA muscle now.
You must FEEL differantly as your body would be in better shape I would
think. Sounds BETTER than going to a jym:)

Some people can lose weight just with exercise. I'm not one of those
people, and apparently neither are you.

As always, YMMV.

It also depends upon how much exercise you're getting. If you're running 50+
miles a week, you will lose weight and probably can't eat enough. Running
also helps decrease one's appetite, btw.

But, if you're doing a couple hours a wek of walking and light weights, then
no, you probably won't be able to lose weight just with working out.
