Hi! I'm in the same boat as you! I was on a roll, loosing about 25 pounds over several months. I've managed to keep that off, except for for a few pounds that come and go. I'm also in a size 20 and have been despite my 25 pound loss. Looking at pics from our recent DIsney trip I am sooo ready..

Feel free to message me

First I want to say Welcome and you will find lots of support here.

But.... your intro sentence concerns me. Being really frank, you need to get past being ON a diet and figure out how to make the life changes that will put you in charge! Remember, anything you get on you will eventually have to get off. You really need to find a means to your barometer - in this case a set of scales. It is the immediate measure of success, followed by sizes.

You do not mention ramping up output. One of the key pillars of permanent weight loss is understanding that there is a balance you must achieve, much like the three legs of a stool. You need to be controlling the in (nutrition), pumping up the metabolism (strength training) and working the pipes (cardio). Avoid any one and you may lose weight, but it is so precarious that the one small set back and you will lose balance and return to present state. I would suggest walking at a brisk - huffy puffy pace for 30 -45 minutes daily. Add some really simple strength work like squats, jumping jacks, shoulder presses (using a broom), etc. It will not take much weight at first to create great strides.

I do not mean to dissuade you in anyway, just want to say great start but take this opportunity to make a serious life changing commitment.

You reminded me of one other thing.... Plan a bad day. Just like training for an event, etc take one day off, kind of. The bad day is not a let me gorge myself day, but it is a day where you do not kick your self if you mess up a little.
