I just skimmed the article and plan on reading the entire thing tonight after kids are in bed.

From the gist of it, I would say I have to agree. I was most successful losing weight when I did moderate exercise, maybe 30 minutes a day, and really watched what I ate.

When I trained for a marathon to try and lose baby-weight, I ended up gaining 3 pounds over the course of the year even though I was exercising a TON.

There are a lot of people out there who think they can lose weight by just increasing their exercise while they continue to eat a half a bag of potato chips followed by a pint of ice cream (DH . . .). And that just isn't the case.
