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.

Yeah, I just got back from England and jumped on the scale. Arrgh.
I don’t drink sugared sodas so that is no problem, but my wife does
buy candy.
And I snack on nuts all the time too but I know they are pretty high
calories.
So, baby carrots and hummis I guess.
I can lose weight, much easier if my wife is on board.
We are empty nesters now and I am hoping to convince to help me with
this.

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!!

Thinking of getting a fitness tracker. Getting too fat this summer.
Does the fit bit only work with an iPhone? How do you charge them
and get the data out?
I am still running my iPhone 4 and bound and determined to use it
until it no longer works.
