I don't want to be misunderstood here, you can lose weight by diet alone it's just that if you add activity your calorie restriction won't be so severe.

Is there any activity you can do? walk on the treadmill? lift weights? Yoga?
I just need to get my lazy self on the trainer more often and stop pigging out! My new beer belly should, in theory, motivate me eventually, right?!?!

Actually, I'm confident these extra pounds will go away once I'm riding regularly again. My ankle is the culprit here. I can spin on the trainer but everything else I've tried causes increased pain and swelling. This past week I went skiing and I'm paying the price for that. So I decided to basically do nothing for one week and see how my foot feels. I did shovel snow today so that should've burned a few calories.

It sure would be nice if some researcher somewhere would figure out a way to move fat from one place to another within your body. For example, from my belly to my chest. It's really only a few inches. How hard could it be to move it up there?
