I'm suggesting that the explanation "you don't see fat joggers because fat people don't jog" is as or more likely than the explanation "you don't see fat joggers because anyone who takes up jogging becomes thin so quickly that nobody sees them during the time when they are fat and jogging".

If fat people took up jogging and became thin, you would see fat joggers.

So the issue isn't that exercise doesn't work, it's that either fat people don't take up jogging, or that exercise does make you thin.

Which was my point.
