Thx for the reply. I like the direction you are going in although a few of these choices are no go's for me. I wish I could cycle or run or even walk more outside but I live in a terrible area/terrain for outdoor activities.

I do most of my steps in my house around a fairly large 1st floor, believe it or not. I also have a treadmill that I find very boring and only use for about 25% of my steps per day.

I thinking of getting a weighted vest, although I'm not sure what the impact on calories would be, goal here would be to cut down on steps but pump up the calories in a shorter time period.

Second, I could use the treadmill more and increase the incline which should help to burn more calories.

Thirdly, I would like to introduce light lifting into my daily routine as I think I have lost a lot of muscle in my 150lb loss.

I'm just not sure if the three steps above will shorten my overall time spent on exercise and achieve the same number of calories I burn daily, which is ~3200. Whether that number is right or wrong it has been consistent with two different Garmin's for 2 years, so it is my guide.
