I have no doubt that is right about most weight loss being down to what goes on in the kitchen it's just that when I was exercising regularly I did not have to diet too hard, just cutting out a few nasties but still lost 5cm/2inches of waist. I suppose the second 5cms was always going to be harder. I would rather run and allow myself a few treats at the weekend than do very little and have none. It's not too bad, these days I am only a little bit outside of the green zone on one of those BMI chart things.
