[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP,

You might like weight watchers online.  The app is pretty good, and can tie into a fitbit.

I like the smartpoints approach.  Basically you get a budget of points for the week.  You can "spend" them on what you want.  Going out with friends?  fine, splurge.  Everyday breakfast?  Maybe don't splurge on that krispy kreme donut.

It kind of retrains you to eat more whole foods, more protein, less refined junk.

THere are a lot of men on WW-- there's a social media component to the app so you can see what other people are eating, going through, how they are doing.

One more thing -- fitbits are great.  Get on the app and start to track your steps from week to week. Link up with friends or co-workers for a weekly challenge-- you'd be amazed how much you start to up your steps so you can win.  Then you feel better overall, which helps you stop self-medicating with food and booze.

Good luck!  20 lbs is totally doable, especially for men.  I would just try to lose 1-2 lbs a week-- which won't shock your body or metabolism too much.  You gained it slowly, so lose it slowly too.
