Hey wait a minute... I'm about 5'7", and I weigh about 150lbs.

Hmm. Maybe I should get out a bit more.
I'm 26 and had a similar experience, but mine came after graduating from college. Then I did the math and realized that in going from student to working professional I'd lost about 3 miles of walking per day (between the trip back and forth to campus and between classes plus marching band rehearsals for 2hrs 3-5 nights a week). The good thing was that I was able to adjust my eating habits to account for the decrease in calories needed to get through the average day so I didn't gain more than one pant size.
As far as work-outs, I can't stand going to a gym. Not enough to keep my mind entertained while simply pushing or pulling on panels of a machine or weights. I do however have several friends that are very much into the gym-based work-out. Personally, I try to get on my bike and ride (when I can) in decent wether, but the winter is a difficult time for me (speaking of which, snow is currently falling outside my window, which means it will take me an extra hour to get home. Blasted southerners who don't know how to drive in snow :angry: ).
I agree with Armin, adjusting your diet and your general activity level seem to be the surest way to bring weight under control. The problems many people have in this type of life change is the inability to maintaint a commitment for a long enough period of time to see drastic results. However, judging by what I look like, I don't think drastic results are something your interested in. Good luck to you, and all the others who wage the War On Weight on a daily basis.
