As far as I can tell, you're answering a question that nobody asked, one something like, "Does exercise burn calories?" We all know that's true. The question was, "Do you have any research to show that exercise is effective in helping people lose weight?"

As a fat guy who has run 15 or 20 races (including a triathlon) at this point and is training for another, my personal experience is that adding exercise doesn't help me lose weight.
