Find a job that requires physical labor and you won't need to work out. That's what I did and I dropped 15 lbs by my second* week on the warehouse floor.
This worked for me in my early twenties. Working as a farmhand put me in the best shape of my life. Working on a computer erased all of that though.
I'm in a similar boat. Do you ever find yourself thinking back to the labour days? If there wasn't such a difference in pay, I might consider the switch. The only career that I know of that has pay parity is oil rig work, but I don't want to fuck up my body before it's time.
