No pain, no gain. I would start by "fetching" your own lunch. Unless you're work is so damn important that you can't sacrifice leaving your desk for your health. Shaking my damn head. Seriously.

Since you’re in NJ, weather can control your access to outdoor exercise options. And put you back indoors where stationary bikes, treadmills, etc May bore you.
You don’t like to sweat - so maybe take up swimming? Lane workouts will actually cause you to sweat but you won’t be noticed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

You have to decided for yourself you want to eat better and start by cutting down on carbs, packaged foods, junk foods, sodas, and other industrial garbage masquerading as food. Start by getting that crap out of your house. Then buy real food, real vegetables, real grass fed meat, etc. Try reading Primal Blueprint for ideas. It will also help you learn what is the difference between carbs, proteins and fats and how they affect your body when you eat them. Once you understand the macros ( carbs, proteins, fats) you will then be in charge of your diet and can begin to make informed choices on what to eat and what to steer clear of. After you get your diet/lifestyle food choices in a good place you will have no desire to eat junk anymore. Then comes fitness. You need heart and lungs first, then muscle tone second. As others have said exercising for the sake of exercising is boring and usually unsustainable especially since you hate doing it. So do things like walking or bike riding which gets your heart and lungs going, and can be pleasurable just because it out in nature and will also lower your blood pressure. There is no need to be jogging, just walk. It clears your head and enhanced your life. If you hate weights, just start doing simple sit-ups and pushups every morning and perhaps evening. Start with 10 and soon you’ll work your way up to 25 or 50. Once you get into a rhythm with the real food and exercise soon you’ll add more things just naturally on your own because you’ll feel great. Controlling your food and movement is not dieting and exercising, it’s lifestyle and it takes over your life in a positive manner. |

I used to ride bicycle a lot, but my latest thing is rowing. I joined the local rowing club, and after learning how, I joined a competitive team where we traveled to local regattas to race. In the winters we train on rowing machines (called ergs) in the evenings because of the time change, but still on the water on Saturdays. Training is 3x a week, and it's seriously the most intense brutal exercise I have ever done. A while back we have started incorporating a 4th night of cross fit at a local gym. I'm glad I decided to join the team/club because it's much easier to stay motivated in a group than to do it on your own... However... I have since temporarily quit the team because I have moved away for the spring, summer and fall (to the beach) and even though I have joined a gym (a really nice one) with erg machines, I feel way less motivated to workout.... I can feel myself sliding a bit back into old habits of not eating well and making excuses to skip the erg workout at the gym... drinking beer on the beach is way more fun than killing myself on the erg, right? That being said, I'm heading to the gym in a little while... This thread has motivated me. Oh, and as others have said... start small. When I first started on the erg, I thought rowing 1000 meters was effing crazy... Now my warm up is at least 1-2 K meters. It gets easier, especially if you stick with it... and even though I hate every second, it's all worth it. I bitch and moan (internally) when it's time to work out, but when I'm done, I always feel great. Make the time for a routine, and just make yourself do it. You'll be glad you did. And don't be afraid of a little sweat (or lots). |

I suggest going "whole food, plant based" with your food.
Find a movie called Forks over Knives and also a brand new release worldwide this week called The Game Changers. I've been eating no meat, no dairy now for two + years and couldn't be happier. You can eat HUGE meals and lose not gain weight if you exercise. I'm 73 kg now [not sure in pounds]. You get used to the veggie lifestyle in a few weeks. I used to love steak, chicken, fish, chocolate etc. I don't miss them at all now. |

All diets come down to one thing....caloric deficit. It doesn't matter which diet, they all work on simple physics. Eat often, but small portions, eat twice a day, it doesn't matter, just restrict your caloric intake.
Exercise really does a body and mind good. I was getting a bit pudgy, even though I am the thin type build, so I started to run. It SUCKED for the first 2 weeks, winded after 2 laps around the neighborhood, joint pain, etc... But after 2 weeks, I didn't get so winded and it felt good to run (kind of, I am basically not an exercise person). BUT, for me the big part was immediate feed back. After running for just 2 weeks I felt better when I woke up. I was less tired mid-afternoon. I moved better. So I still run, only 3k a night, with 2 day off for rest (wed and sun), and I can see tangible results. Almost forget, I got a blood and blood pressure test for work. My blood pressure dropped to like 120 over 55 I think, I can't remember exactly, but it was about 10-15 points lower than the year before. Forget about sweat. That's like saying you want to swim without getting wet. Wear proper fitness clothes and sweat, it is part of the game. After a while though, you will sweat less. My sweat from running dropped over 50% once I got used to it. Who knows, maybe you sweat more because of health issues, and it will get better over time. If you don't take care of your health and body, it will go down from there. I see what will happen and want to prevent it while I can. |

To add to my previous post.
Diet and exercise are super important, however, sleep is just as important and probably even more so. Make sure you have a solid 8hrs every single night, you'll feel better, perform better and recover better (from exercise or illness). If you sleep well you'll have more motivation to train and stick to your diet. |

Love keeping my sleep patterns mostly regular on the weekend (lately up at 4:30 weekdays). The health and fitness thing have gotten important enough to me that most days revolve around it. Now if I could just stop periodically stuffing my face, that would be super.

Most will say abs aren’t made in the gym, meaning your weight has to do with what you’re putting in your body.
I’m a big believer in moderation. Eat a healthy balanced diet, and watch your portions. Unfortunately a body is meant to be in motion (if you don’t move it you lose it). Find an activity you like and get into a routine around it. You don’t have to become a gym rat or ultra marathoner (not slagging you Bas) to see results. A healthy body will require some effort though. |

Not only does it make you more productive and makes you feel better. I've read that consistent sleep deprivation can significantly increase your risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's. Sleep is very very important. Quote:
