Have you considered Weight Watchers? Hold on -- hold on -- before you say no, let me argue my case.
I'm 5'6". When I turned 40, I wanted to lose 25 pounds. At the time, I weighed 145. Like you said, "not bad," but I wanted to look GOOOOOOD, ya know?
I lost the weight and got down to a size 6. It was fun while it lasted. Needless to say, as soon as I quit WW, I gained it all back -- and more.
In your neck of the woods down there, I'd suspect there is a real good WW Center. (There isn't up here.) If you get a good lecturer, someone who takes an interest in all the folks who come to her "classes," she can be of INCREDIBLE help and support. Back in the 80's, when I first joined, that's what I had -- a fabulous lecturer who helped me every step of the way.
It's not about losing the weight for you, it's really about losing the obsession with food. I'm on WW now, and the thing I like best about it is that I no longer feel guilt every time I eat something. I keep a food journal, so I know everything I put in my mouth, and it keeps me on track without making me obsess. And I'm losing.
WW groups also provide fantastic support. You meet folks who have the same issues as you do -- problems with food -- and that kind of support is imperative.
Check it out; go to WeightWatchers.com and see about classes in your area.
