One does not have to necessarily run in the mornings. You have the whole day and there are so many situations, for instance walking up the stairs rather than taking the lift or escalator. Walking short distances instead of driving, etc these are areas where you can use to shed some weight. You can skip your dinner and take some snack in the early part of the evening as whatever is eaten in the nights gets assimilated (no exercise!) and you tend to put on weight. See if this works.

i have the same problem, i need to cut all those pounds soon. i went into this crash diet when i was younger, i drink plenty of water and i only eat one meal a day. i lose 40 pounds in one month but i got sick later on. oh boy. i wish you luck on your dieting and wish me too.
