[quote=Anonymous]I would join weight watchers--you can do it online rather than the meetings if you prefer but I liked the accountability of weekly weigh-ins. It's focused on protein and fiber with low sugar and saturated fat--I found it difficult as a vegetarian carb-lover but if you're gluten-free and eat fish it might be easier.

Drink lots of water and tea. Go to sleep early, before your after-dinner snacking starts. Just eat dinner, do whatever chores you need, have one relatively healthy treat (I do jello with fruit, a small cup of pudding, ice cream bar, cup of cocoa--something measured out), brush your teeth, and go to bed.

Yes to weight training (hiring a trainer works better for me than going to classes--but anything is better than nothing, and I figure that every hour I'm at the gym is an hour I'm not eating!), running (or cycling or swimming but even though I hate running it really works for me--but especially intervals) and just adding more walking to your life. Get off the metro one stop early. Park far away from the store.

Even if you don't lose 20 lbs, you'll feel stronger and better a year from now! Good luck.[/quote]
