Does dieting and exercise really work?

Dieting doesn't work because I can't stick with a diet for my whole life. Soo when I stop I end up putting the weight back on.

Exercising doesn't work because exercise gets boring and I eventually stop doing it.

Bottom line, you can't stick with dieting and exercise your whole life. You eventually get tired or it, regardless of if its 3 days or 3 months.

you can't restrict yourself to food.

If you build healthy eating and exercise into your life it will eventually become an enjoyable part of your lifestyle especially when you notice all of the positive effects on your body. :oD

Yes! it does work. But it NEEDS TIME.

Speak for yourself.

The key is to change your lifestyle. You can have this or that, but in moderation.

Go get or read the book The Diet For Teenagers Only. It explains everything you need to know in easy to understand terms. Also exercise is not boring if you do things like roller skating, dancing, swimming and riding a bike, hula hoop, and other fun things. This book will tell you all of that though.

It has to be a lifestyle change for it to continue to work. You cant diet and exercise for 1 month, than eat everything in sight and lay around all day and expect it to work. It has to be a continuous ongoing thing.

i know its so hard...try to not think of it as a diet...if you really want to look and feel better then sometimes you will decide what is worth it and what is not...last night i said no to a peanut butter whoopie pie...it just wasn't worth the calories and the fat to me...walking is great stress relief and it burns calories too...once you see some results you won't want to go backwards...

well, maybe you can't but it works for me :D.

The two work together. When you find yourself not sticking to your plan of dieting and exercise just keep going on and you will find yourself staying with it. Good Luck!

yes it will work more if you go to your bf daily at night and have fun withhim, daily then you shall find more healthy things ..............because may u have time for that to go to him.

yes, they work...there are millions that can attest to that.

It takes discipline and hard work. If it were easy everyone would be healthy.

As I aged I noticed my blood pressure was on its way up too. I can't imagine having a heart attack in my 40s, 50s or ever! I feel it's my responsibility to my family to be there for them - not be a medical challenge to them because living healthy was too difficult or boring.

Whenever I get bored or lazy I think of our young people in the military that not only stay in shape but risk their lives for us everyday. They're doing it for us and for our freedom. That helps me stay motivated.

Read the book "Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrel, Navy SEAL that endured the worst battle imaginable in Afghanistan. You will be thankful.

Sorry if that went in a different direction that the question asked.
