Well, as jon pointed out, the real hard core athletes do lots of stuff. Maybe this approach will work for you. Take two ephedra, smoke some crack, pull out your teeth, and get on a treadmill. Follow this regimine three times a week at least. When you absolutely must eat, have some horse cock with celery as a palate cleanser. But get right back to the drug/treadmill routine asap.
Seriously though, working out is the only thing that will help. Not only do you lose a bit of weight, but you feel better and you get stronger. Team sports are great for some folks; I don't like people so the team thing doesn't do it for me. I listen to death metal and lift weights at Gold's--no thrills, no frills. I love it. It's only an hour. I can do anything for an hour a day if it is going to help me climb better, feel better, live better, and increase my chances of getting laid.
Getting started is the hardest. Soon as you are in the habit of going to the gym on a regular basis, you won't even remember what it was like before you started going. That's when you'll have this jewel of a thread to look back on.
Stop reading now and go work out.
