You have one hell of a job to do if you want to convince me that NOT doing
so is bad for you and ultimately, will lead to "tender joints and bones that
will break and become brittle faster".

Your form of exercise (lifting weights and jogging) is very strenous on your joints. That is why I said I found swimming to be the best exercise I had.
Building and maintaining muscle and bone mass REQUIRES weight-bearing exercise. Overdoing weight-bearing exercise can tear down muscle tissue instead of building it. It can also damage bones, joints, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.
However, if you ever find you don't have much time in your work week to exercise, your fucked, you have to live with your muscle turning into nothing, and everything will just go back to the way it was. Read up on Muscle Atrophy GENIUS!
If you continue to consume the same amount of calories per day as you do while exercising, you will GAIN weight, because you are not burning it off.
How hard is that? Its scientifically proven so why are you asking me to prove it? Hell if I know, it's just the way it is.

plan, which seems to work so well?

Who the fuck said I had a plan. I pretty much mentioned I DIDN'T have a plan since high school. My day consists of this. Get up, go to work, eat breakfast or not, eat lunch or not, go to school, go home, go to sleep. That's my plan, I no longer work out, and I eat what I've always eaten, actually healthier foods than what I used to eat. But I still have the fucking love handles, mainly because I used to eat a lot while exercising and now I have troubles calming myself down from eating. I probably have days where I eat a bit more than I should, and days I eat less than I should. I don't watch it, I could care less. As long as I don't become and obsessive eater, I'm fine.
My conclusion, SoLiDuS is smart! Listen to him, he's got muscles!
