start a walking program that you can do on the weekends. get up early and go walking. once you get acclimated to this, walk during your lunch break at work and once you get this down, you may just be willing to get up a bit earlier in the morning before work and walk.
with your walking program in place (which will start burning up those calories) next you can focus on what you are eating. if you find you are snacking at work, take healthy snacks to work with you such as carrots, celery sticks, cucumber slices, crackers, fruits, etc. instead of vending machine snacks. drink plenty of water versus sugary drinks such as soda. the high fructose corn syrup in sugary drinks is a weight gaining culprit. use honey crystals as sweetners instead of sugar in your teas and coffees.
making these small non-drastic changes will work towards your goal of losing the 20-25 lbs. you have to start someplace. start small and work your way up to more targeted weight lose measures. but start small so that you can find some measure of success to motivate you to go further.
