Well done. I had a time seven years ago where due to general laziness, I adopted a poor diet and drank way too much within a year I put on a bit of a pouch, even though I walked to work etc ate healthier it still wouldn't shift, it took months of cardio, high protein diets to shift it in the end, but what I found works best was doing weights resistance training torches fat if you go about it correctly.
Spot on. I'd a 1-2-1 with a fitness advisor at my gym and that's exactly what he said. Cardio (running/cycling) is all well and good if you want to build stamina, but using weights give a longer 'burn' and in the long term uses up more calories.
