Burning extra calories is good, but its a LOT easier I'd think to not drink that one can of soda then do a 45 min areobic work out if you are only worried about weight. Health is another mater.

I agree. But walking is also good for the soul...
But really, all we're doing is debating about the various components of lifestyle choices. Neither of us is wrong, we just press our efforts in different ways. I hope our exchange has benefited other readers because I've liked what we've talked about so far. Now everyone knows that drinking a glass of water instead of a Pepsi has a relative effect on your health as walking up to an hour a day. Now imagine if you did both?
I don't weight train anymore. I've switched to authentic* yoga, and I've found that it's more suitable for my body type. I have a small frame, slender musculature, and a high metabolism. Yoga helps me maintain flexibility, balance, and, to a minimal extent, muscle tone. This is besides the mental aspect, which has benefits of its own. What I'm saying, is that I've found what works for me. I don't foresee myself being "fat" anytime soon, if ever, so long as I maintain my current lifestyle (you should see my diet).
*These days, you have to make the distinction.
