My wife and I walk the same route most nights. It's fairly boring, but if you are trying to make your steps, it's alright. Download a bunch of audiobooks and get some good headphones. Most days it's just about getting the steps in, it's not gonna be that exciting.

            Nicotine is a hunger suppressant. Just sayin.

            More seriously.....I have a hard time exercising for the
            sake of exercise.  I find I can push 10x harder if
            there's a real task to do. So for example, I have a
            foundation issue to investigate and I told my father in
            law "no thank you" on borrowing his backhoe and I'm
            digging 8' down with a pick and shovel.  Full body
            workout in progress.

            About the only exercise that I'll do for it's own sake is
            a long walk.  The problem with that is walking far enough
            to make a difference occupies a lot of time.

                nuts are great for you as long as they are not salted
                or candied.  Lots of great protein in nuts and they
                are a natural food.  read the label and make sure the
                only ingredients are nuts, if you see anything else
                listed then move on.

                the "diet industry" has us programmed to count
                calories but all calories are not made equally
                (actually burned equally would be a better phrase).

                start reading the ingredient list and make sure you
                are eating as much natural food as possible with as
                little sugar as possible. don't put sugar or sweeter
                in your coffee either, drink it black.

                you will go into withdrawals and start craving sugar
                like a crack addict but just always keep it in your
                head "is there added sugars in what i'm eating?"

                instead of eating ice-cream grab some greek plain
                greek yogurt (again check the label because sometimes
                they add sugar to even the plain yogurt) and put some
                fresh fruit on top.

                you for sure need the wife on board.  if the bad food
                is around it will get eaten so toss it out and start
                over.  after about 3-4 weeks it will be habit and be
                pretty easy but getting thru the first month of sugar
                withdrawals is actually hard.

                So, baby carrots and hummis I guess.

                5 things that will help you loose and keep weight off

                1. no Alcohol (you probably already do this chuck) or
                only a drink or two per week

                2. no added sugar. check every label on the food you
                eat and buy the stuff without sugar or as little
                sugar as possible. the low fat stuff usually means
                they added sugar so avoid it like the plague.
                especially avoid high fructose corn sweetener.

                3. no bread or very little bread. instead of a
                sandwich throw all the sandwich fixins on a salad or
                lettuce wrap. or in the winter eat soup (for some
                reason salad is not appetizing to me in the
                winter...prolly because i'm already cold lol)

                4. healthy snacks with no added sugar.  get all your
                sugars from fruits if you can (your body needs some
                sugar). unsalted nuts are good, cheese as long as
                it's not in excess is good protein too.

                5. 30 minutes of some kind of exercise. walk, bike,
                go to the gym, whatever, just move around for 30 min.

                you'd be amazed at what cutting out all the crappy
                sugar can do.  their is already a lot of sugar in
                everything we eat so try to cut it out as much as
                possible.

                I dropped 15lbs pretty quick once i got rid of sugar,
                alcohol (which turns into sugar), and bread (carbs
                that turn into sugar).  the awesome thing is the
                weight stayed off since i've programmed myself to
                avoid sugar.

                2 cents, good luck!!

                    Does the fit bit only work with an iPhone? How do

                    I am still running my iPhone 4 and bound and
