Low-carb dieting + weights.
You can do a lot with dumb-bells, bicep curls, tricep extensions, lateral raises, stomach crunches (holding a dumbbell above your head with both hands)
Low carb dieting will make the weight fall off like butter, and it also decreases your appetite strongly. It actually works out cheaper than a high-fibre diet because of this effect.
Even faster (but not all that much) is an amphetamine-based diet, but you can forget the muscle gains in this case.
Low fat diets and exercise diets simply don't work for many people. For four weeks I did 20min on the bike per day, along with eating "healthily" bread and cereal and yogurt and fruit. I lost zero kg's.
In 3 days of atkin's dieting with no exercise, I lost 2kg, and 4 during the first week.
I ate fried fish, fish fingers and salad, mayo, chicken. You can eat some carbs, like the batter on fish fingers etc, but just not hunks of bread and cake.
Carbohydrate IS sugar, in gets converted to the very same glucose that the white crystalline stuff does.

Yea man, your diet needs a little revamping. Shit, you dont even need to worry about a pass to the gym. You got all the equipment you need: legs and arms, plus a few props. You claim that you cant run, well just like anything else, it can be improved. Stead of running 4 miles a day, just do two. One out, and one in. Increase the distance with time. Listen to your body though. Staying in tune is very important.
Another thing you can try doing is fasting. Fasting for 24 hrs once a week. Does a bundle of good things for you, plus can help on losing a bit of weight. Just drink lots of water during the fast, and you'll be fine. If you dont think you could do a strait water fast, try a fruit fast, of eating nothing but fruit all day.
But yea, diet change, and exericse, and perhaps the most important of all, motivation.
You cant develope biceps if you dont do curls...

I have a simple suggestion that works and is cheap: Switch to a vegan diet and start walking. Two hours of walking a day, in combination with the lower, and more healthy, calori intake will do wonders. Just get a good pair of shoes if you don't have that already. Besides, having a lot of muscles is overrated - it just makes you look vain!

I'm on my feet 12 hours a day most of the time,I walk at least 5 miles a day just running around the factory.Since I cut out red meat and limited my diet meat wise to baked fish and chicken,I've lost weight.When I want something sweet I eat fruit,I also cut out soda and eat allot more vegetables and rice.
The only 2 unhealthy things I do now are cigarettes and beer.I have cut back on my beer consumption,limiting it to Friday and Saturday.The cigarettes are a little tougher,I've cut down to half a pack a day.

I can't spell and I have poor grammar.The crap I just posted is proof enough.

I hear alot of people here saying they can't run because they smoke, not true. Running is a great workout and very hard, physically and mentally. I smoke and I run 3 miles in 19 minutes. I'm 20 and never played sports growing up, never ran until I was 18, my first time I barely made it a mile and thought I was dying, but over time, with practice I got to where I am today. With practice your lungs will get stronger even if your a smoker. And if losing weight is your goal running is what you need, run 6 miles a day and eat all the food you want. One tip for running and all around better health, STRETCH!! try yoga, seriously your body will feel so much better, and excercising will be much more enjoyable, muscles won't get sore. Good Luck

Walk other people's dogs for money and weight loss. That'll solve the income part too.
