the phrase "eat less exercise more" just does not work.

I was one of those. I could NOT lose weight even on a 900 calorie a day diet. My body would shut down when I ate less food. I am not a sedentary person so moving about is not an issue.

There are many reasons why people cannot lose weight and that's why we have this support group here, for encouragement. Eat less, exercise more is not encouraging to anyone.

I agree however re the colon cleanse. Never been a fan. I find it to be unnecessary.
