Does she have a friend at home that would be willing to walk with her? If you turn exercise into a social activity, it goes by faster and is more enjoyable. Going for an after dinner stoll is great. What if you two took a cooking class when you're together this summer? If you learn to cook / eat well, not only is it valuable couple time, but it is a great skill to have. Or even just buy a cookbook and take turns making dinners. And as far as soda goes, less is more. Why not try turning her on to tea or something without so many empty calories. The more educated she is about what she puts into her body, the better.

I know that weight is a touchy subject, so tell her that you are interested in getting healthy too. Not so much to lose weight, but to have a better quality of life. Its for both of you.
