Need help! :(

I work 70-80 hours a week, leaving very little time for exercise (or even sleep for that matter).

what's the most efficient way to exercise and lose weight given the limited amount of free time I have?

Should I be doing 30min sprints on the treadmill?

Is it possible to workout just during the weekends and lose weight?

or the best way is to just cut back on calories to makeup for the lack of time for exercise?

any suggestions would be appreciated :)

PS: I cannot workout during lunch time - it's an office culture to take networking lunches.
 
Well, I work full time, and have two young kids... What I did that helpped me the most is to put a TV in my workout room!! No realy.... I never had time to work out, but yet I always found time to wind down for a little wile after the kids went to bed, and watched a little TV. Well I put them together. So that 1/2 hour or so, I work out insted of sitting down watching TV. As for working out at lunch... You have stirs at work??? Take the long way from the parking lot.... do some extra walking during those bathroom brakes.. it all adds up.
 
Years ago, when I was working 80 hours a week and before I got married I lost weight using the 10 Minute solutions DVDs specifically the 10 Min Pilates Solution with Lara. I didn't lose a ton of weight (1lbs a week) but I did lose a lot of inches.

A few of my friends sware by the 10 min solution videos. Its all they do. They do the cariod ones and do 10 min in the Am, 10 min at their lunch break and 10 min before they go to bed.
 
The most important thing you should do is make sure you fit 8 hours of sleep into your daily life. If you don't, no matter how much you restrict or work out, it could all be for nothing.

After you work that in, I swear by the benefits of an extra 30 minutes of walking a day. You can split that up into 2 15 minute sessions or 3 10 minute sessions.

Like another poster stated, taking stairs instead, parking in the back of the parking lot, and going "the long way" really does add up if you're involved in a very hectic lifestyle and are unable to really just sit down and do it.
