text: help, i've had too much ice cream and need to lose weight? i,m looking to lose some excess flab, is running going to help? i don't really want to commit to a ice cream free diet and i have been known to drink lots of beer.  i'm 6 foot 4 and weigh 16 stone 6 cut down on that fatty ice cream, and take up a sport that you enjoy. some people enjoy running, but i ain't one of them!  any sort of excercise should help to tone you up - but only as part of a calorie controlled diet! eat  well, and  farewell.
