I recently lost 40+ pounds in ~6 months using Atkins and no exercise (just started exercising this week). I'm 46.
My takeaways: 1. If calories in calories burned, you'll lose weight. 2. The hardest part about that is controlling appetite. 3. The best way to control appetite is with a low carb diet.
This is the second time I did Atkins. The first time (10 years ago), I lost 60+ pounds in 6 months and I exercised 5 days a week. A guy at my gym had a shirt that read "Look great naked! 90% diet, 10% exercise" and the shirt was right. Diet is much, much more important that exercise when it comes to weight loss.
So, uh, no - diet isn't unimportant - it's the *most* important thing for weight loss - at least in my personal experience.
E-Cigarettes aren't "as good as" the patch - they are much, much better. I smoked 1-2 packs a day for 28 years and was finally able to quit due to e-cigs. My lungs sound better, I feel better, and I don't stink anymore.
Earlier this week I purchased MLB.TV for $120 so I could watch baseball on my TV. Since MLB.TV requires a login to the PSN (a new "feature" this year), I haven't been able to watch the service I'm paying for. I could spend the time to write threatening emails, but in the end nothing will fix this.
Sony - you really, really need to get your act together. I know you think this is only affecting "game-playing" but damn - this is really inexcusable.

You're the only one who used the word "socialism". Projecting much?
Where are all of these women/minorities, WITH TECH DEGREES, unable to find jobs?
I had to get a tech degree before anyone would let me touch their computers, why shouldn't they?

By that logic many want to be in a devastating car crash because they slow down to look at the carnage?

The patch left me with a rash on my arm.
