Yes. I was able to lose weight fairly easily by increasing my exercise and cutting back on portion size, sweets, and alcohol.

Yes, but I can lose weight only if I follow a fairly rigid, structured diet and increase my exercise level. Merely cutting back on food and increasing exercise doesn’t work.

Not really. I can lose very slowly if I never cheat on a rigid, low-calorie diet and add a lot more daily exercise to my routine. I should show a lot more results for my efforts. And as soon as I go off the diet, I put on a few pounds really quickly.

No. I’m following such a strict diet that’s there’s no way I can cut back further, plus I’m exercising more than I ever used to, but I’ve lost almost no weight. Or, worse, I even gained a few pounds.

This does not apply to me as I have not tried to lose weight recently.
