If you tend to use public transportation, you might consider getting off a few stops early and walking the rest of the way. Alternatively, you could park your car as far as possible from the door. It's little things like this can make a big difference in the long run, I think. If you do happen to have a desk job, you might consider walking or ride a bike to work if possible.

Exactly, burn more than you intake and you WILL lose weight. Simple stuff. DDR = Dance Dance Revolution - I see.

Its just like a subtraction problem. calories in - calories burned = delta If delta is positive, you gain weight. Negative you lose it. I know from experience. I'm a programmer and sit everyday for 10 or so hours. I only eat healthy - seriously. But the problem is too many calories and not enough exercise. Another example: last year I worked a very physical job but drank a ton of beer almost every night. I ended up losing 30 lbs! There are healthy calories and unhealthy ones (calories from fat) but it really comes down to subtraction. Us sedentary folks gotta think about this now, lest we ignore it and shorten our lives down the road. @ashish, I disagree. Its just like a subtraction problem.

Here's my 2¢... Try to only eat the best/expensive food you can find. You eat less because it costs more and what you do eat will taste better.

My stamina has weakened and i cannot run fast. i always think to do some exercise but i am too lazy. As for calorie,I don't care about calories. what is life ,if you have to calculate calories before eating pizaas and burgers. I don't think eating less can do any good to you .

We've got one and a labrador and they get two walks a day. On top of that I go running 2-3 times a week; gym twice a week and I kick a footy around down the park with a neighbour on weekends. I'm pretty lucky though in that I don't put on weight very easily (only weigh 4kg more now than I did when I was 15).

I find a little bit of motivation in the mornings because my dog (a border collie) needs to be walked. I can basically guilt myself into walking for an hour every morning because he needs it. This in turn guilts my wife into getting up too. Unfortunately this gets a little harder when daylight savings kicks in and suddenly it's very cold and dark at 5:30am. Another good way I find to get "activity" into my day is to not bring lunch and walk 10 minutes to the local Subway store to buy lunch.
