I have been on a diet of eating really well no sweets, no fried foods, nothing bad just good. and i lost about 2 pounds lastweek. I don't want to exercise though, can i still lose weight ?

Yes. You can still lose weight, but your body will reach a point where it doesn't want to lose more, and you might not be satisfied with the results.

If you want to tone up, define muscle, burn fat faster, then you have to exercise. But you can definitely lose weight by reducing your caloric intake and by continuing your normal life. Just eat plenty of fruits, veggies, & protein, and drink plenty of water and you'll lose it. Exercise is very good for you -- esp for cardiovascular health -- so you should look into it. Even if you just walk for 30 mins a day, broken up, its better than nothing.

Yeah, just like Angelene said- you can continue to loose weight by cutting calories & eating healthy. I lost 32 pounds that way.

I think eventually though, you'll probably want to exercise & you'll have the motivation to do it. I originally planned on just cutting cals & watching what I ate...but when the pounds start coming off, you may find that you actually want to work out - dropping weight seems to have an energizing effect. So yeah, continue with your healthy eating habits & loose the weight you want to...take it 1 step at a time & see where that takes you!

Not exercising is violating evolution!! We are all here because our ancestors made an indefatigable effort in hunting for or foraging for foods!! If it were not for their sweat and their physical efforts we wouldn't be here!!
