I work sitting all 8 hours, but then I am very active with yard work, pets, family, house and diy projects. On weekends I practically do not sit during the day and am on my legs and work hard all day. I like to eat a heart healthy diet but I do not need to cut out salt, no high blood pressure. I eat way too much sugar, as in 3 teaspoons per cup of coffee, but I only have one cup a day. I used to drink a lot of CocaCola, but I cut that out 2 weeks ago. I do not smoke and do not drink. Not sure why it is so. hard to loose weight. I need to loos at least 10 pounds around the waist mostly.
