LAT reports Americans exercise more, but still not losing much weight.

Mpff. This is an example of how no one in the media ever seems to learn anything from science. Scientific investigation, as reported in detail in Good Calories, Bad Calories, and Why We Get Fat (and what to do about it) by Gary Taubes, has clearly demonstrated that exercise is almost entirely ineffective as a weight loss method. Sure, it's good for you, but it doesn't affect weight loss hardly at all.

Wanna lose weight? Eliminate sugar and cut starch from your diet. That's about it, in a nutshell. There are people for whom there are other factors, but for most people, that's it.
