  1. The good news is that I'm exercising again (finally) and am losing weight
    (how do I know? People are saying, "You look thinner"😉. The "bad" news
    is that wife is due to give birth in early August. This is bad because
    that throws my five-day-per-week workout schedule right out the window. I
    have to say that regardless of diet, I've never been able to lose weight
    without exercise. Part of that is my job, which is completely and utterly
    sedentary. Has anyone been able to lose weight without exercise? If so,
    how'd you do it?

    I do note that I'm going to try to continue to workout after the baby is
    born. However, I have no idea (as this is my first child) as to how much
    I'll be able to workout.

    I'll try, although I've heard that your lack of sleeps prevents you from
    doing much! ;-)

    The good news is that wife would also like to get back into shape after
    the child is born.

  5. My SIL participated in the Run For Life pushing a stroller with her
    twins in it.

    She lost a hundred pounds the year before she got preggers and was
    pretty determined to get back in shape again after my nephews were
    born. And she raised a lot of money for breast cancer research
    also.

    She's one heck of a woman.

    Wow. I'm not sure I could do that, though, as jogging = injury for me..
    Nonetheless, that's impressive.

  7. Cubit does it and does a good job of it. He counts calories and simply
    keeps to low carb and low cal.

  8. Interesting. I'll have to see what develops when Coco Lopez comes out!
    (Coco Lopez is the name we've chosen until the baby arrives; it's a
    sugared coconut oil product used in the Virgin Islands; mmmm...sugar AND
    fat!)

    Yes, by low-carbing. I've lost weight while getting virtually no
    exercise by sticking to the diet, and I've maintained or gained weight
    while getting large amounts of exercise, because I was cheating on the
    diet at the time. Keep your carbs low enough that your insulin
    production stays low and your glucagon production stays high, and you
    should lose weight. Maybe not as fast as you were when you were
    working out regularly, but then again, you might be surprised.

    (Standard disclaimer: exercise is good, all hail exercise, blah blah
    blah....)

    Actually babies are a good example of progressive resistance...
    (hopefully) they'll increase in weight every week.

    Might get a tad rough to benchpress them once they turn 16 years old
    or so. 😉

    Right...

    .... but if you start them doing the plank early enough they
    ~could~ be pressed... IF you could talk them into it.

    I lost 50lbs doing low carb (Atkins) and never exercised. It took me about 9
    months.

  20. I can't lose weight too if I don't exercise or be active.

    The alternative is to eat lesser which I am not willing. So eating
    well and exercising is a good combination.

    All I do to lose weight is to walk moderately briskly (4 miles per
    hour) every weekday for 1/2 to 1 hour while on my Low Carb, Low Fat,
    High Fibre, High Protein.
