I'm naturally lazy, always ready to find a way even to put off procrastinating. If I didn't have a way to be sure I get some exercise, I never would. For me the easiest way is to cycle to work, come rain, snow, or bad mood - just do it. No excuses.
Exercise certainly does help you lose weight, but not if you eat more calories to compensate. Being hungry is part of the deal - what's important is to get into a frame of mind where "hungry is good". Hungry is good during the day but especially when you go to bed. I've been going to the gym instead of lunch for the last 6 weeks, and over that time have lost weight at the rate of about 250g (the weight of a steak) each day. And my muscle tone and strength have markedly increased, too.
