My experience says cornwall has it right. I hit my ideal weight in October after 10 months of exercise and dieting. Since October I've gained about 5 lb (2.3 kilograms) due to too much fun and too much work. (It's difficult to diet when you are busy.)

I've learned that exercise doesn't do much for weight control. It's pretty much how much you eat and what you eat that puts on the weight or takes it off. Lots of good reasons for exercise, but weight control is not one of them.
