Hi everyone!
Ok so I've been on this weight loss journey since June 1st and so far I've lost 23lbs (went from 226lbs to 203lbs). I am 5'4". I eat about 1300 calories daily. I only worked out for about one week consistently back at the end of June, but that's it. I did walking/jogging intervals during that week.
Well, I've stopped working out since I'm losing a good amount of weight solely on my decrease in calories. I struggle to find time to work-out anyway because of my job so my question is this: Is it absolutely necessary that I work out? Obviously it's not required to lose weight because I'm doing just fine with my calorie counting, but is there some other reason that I should be implementing exercise into my daily routine? (I'm scared to death of having loose skin, would exercise give me a fighting chance of NOT having loose skin once I reach my goal weight?)
Hopefully this doesn't make me sound lazy, because I'm not! And if you all tell me it's probably best to start exercising, I most certainly will.
Thanks for your help!
