What are some ways to be more fit without all that icky exercise stuff?

Liquid diet......V8s, naked juice, milk. All week Mon-Fri. Can eat sensible on weekends.  (I have not tried personally but I know some who have and lost 15# in 2 weeks)

Ummm, not all exercise is ikky ... Thinking about it I may need to retract that

You need some sort of exercise to stay fit.  The trick is finding something you like doing.  Swimming, tennis, racquetball, squash, volleyball, dancing, basketball, yard work, a bike ride through a nice area, are some of the stuff that comes to mind. 

Crack cocaine, or meth.

Stop smoking. More sex.

I find it best to not allow one's self to be manipulated by externally imposed social conventions of body image or dubious ideas of "fitness".

A proper diet will allow your body to maintain a good weight, but fitness can't be achieved without exercise. My preferred type is cycling. You get to sit down, but it's also quite the workout. :)

my friend likes to live on salads and she says that helps her lose weight

Start with a simple step,start drinking lemon water, with a dash of cinnamon and 2 teaspoons of honey, first thing in the morning about 20-30 minutes prior to eating or drinking anything.This helps the liver to produce glutathione, a regenerative antioxidant that helps the liver process and eliminate toxins.

Eat healthy and watch your calories unfortunately... which could be tough for me so exercise it is.

Personally found swimming to be the answer.   When having access to a water hole or swimming pool doing regular laps is great exercise that is easily passed off as leisure.
It's low impact,  high resistance,  combines muscle building with cardio, doesn't have the awful sweating, refreshing, and is a full body workout.   It's all WIN.
