If it's a long distance relationship, that can be difficult. I know when I was around 170 I whinned to a friend, and they asked me to join the beginner lacrosse team. Lost about 20 pounds just getting in good enough shape to run the field.
Working out, imho, sucks. It's borring and long. Doing an activity really helped, because it wasn't work, it was play. That and I found myself thinking more about the game and less about how hot, sweaty, and miserable I was.
My other sugestion would be power yoga. When I moved back to California, I couldn't find many people in my area (Victorville) to play with. Ok, couldn't find any. :-P I started doing power yoga and an hour and a half of that when you wake up or when you come home from work is simply divine. Combined with some basic stuff (pushups, squats, calf raises) it worked some minor miracles. Still, nothing beats running.
