   A few weeks ago I started playing ping pong (table tennis) because my neighbor gave me one, since then I've been losing weight in a good manner. I was 187 pounds(I'm 6 feet tall) and now I'm at 178-180) that means it's 3.5 pounds/week which is a good rate at my age, not doing an extreme diet. Soon I'll start making hubs about losing weight and some methods I've used when I was 230 pounds(march 2010)  Share your way to keep in shape with other Hubbers.

      I always just turn some music on and dance.Dancing in the morning also helps get my blood flowing without drinking energy drinks/coffee.Keeping an eye on the portions of daily meals is key and works for anyone.

         Yup that's the way to go say no to coffee and to energy drinks. No caffeine equal the life.

   It depends which season it is.  In the summer, I never feel like eating a lot, so I lose weight.  However, as the winter approaches, I start to stuff myself all day.  Already, in the past couple of weeks, I have put on half a stone in weight.  I'm sure there must be some evolutionary reason for this.

   Both. I exercise regularly, average 4 times a week and eat mainly fresh food, ie lots of fruit and vegetables. I don't think diet alone keeps the weight off.

      Avg. of 4 times a week is great, eating good food indeed will maintain a person in shape. Like they say " you are what you eat"
      Ah and by the way my dad managed to lose aprox. 140 pounds in a year and 2 months by only eating because his Myasthenia Gravis won't allow it.

         True, in some cases it can be done with diet alone but generally exercise and diet together is a better option.
