So it's been a while. I had gone into one of those frustrating "give up" cycles. Exercising seemed like a chore. I couldn't do it. The same thing with eating under any kind of control. Binged often.
This morning, with some encouragement from the folks on Mark Spoils, I tried out Pokemon Go. Never played Pokemon before, so it was new to me. (Though I did collect battle pets in World of Warcraft.) Downloaded and went.
Two hours later that morning, I noticed the ridiculous quantity of walking I had done without it feeling at all like a chore. Repeated it in the afternoon for more collection for another hour. Learned all about my neighborhood too!

All this is to say that I was on the verge of giving up, and will give it one more try. Why not. Once more into the breach. Nothing elaborate - just play Pokemon Go a bunch as my exercise bedrock to get out of the apartment, and try to do better with eating. Started a new account.
Let's see if I can finally lose weight in any lasting way.
Starting weight (8/13/16): 267.8 lbs
