Uh, yeah, but I said I didn't get bigger. My appetite is way higher when I exercise than when I don't, so I ate less and didn't gain weight.
Anyway, all I was doing was agreeing with those saying exercise is not the answer. It is about making healthy food choices the majority of the time, and watching portion size.
But you guys have posted so much today I am pretty much Wonking by responding . . .
