See, this is where I get sort of confused. It makes sense that I could eat a cheeseburger and just work extra hard to burn it off. But aren't there worse things than calories about eating these things? What about the fat content? Won't that have a negative effect on my weight loss? Or is it the fat just a portion of the calories and therefore it doesn't matter as long as I burn off the calories? Sorry, that was a whole lot of question marks in a row.

As always it's good to hear from everyone. Great replies all around! And it's true, those friends did screw me over, but it was my choice to hang out with them.

Thanks for the feedback. Today I started working squats and lunges into my medicine ball workout. I live in the upstairs apartment of an old house, so with neighbors below me and my wife and daughter still sleeping it makes too much noise to try to walk/run in place but I'm sure I'll think of something to get my heart rate up. I have an ellyptical machine but apparently I'm too heavy for it as it squeaks and squonks like a banshee no matter how well I tighten and oil it. That's okay, the wife is tiny so it works fine for her!

Thanks again.
