A member asked:
How much weight gain is normal and how long does it typically take to lose after starting starting exercise. (gained 5 pounds in two months)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Can't say what's normal. However, you lose weight by watching calories and not by exercise which will only minimally help (exercise is important for health but far less than than calories specifically for weight loss).
