I am also considering signing up for a Yoga class once a week. I know this can be a little "granola" and I would fit the stereotype of a typical Portlandia, but I have heard great things from fellow firefighters and I would promise not to buy a Subaru Forrester or shop at Whole Foods

Warning, eliminating carbs after 2:00, while very effective, is not as easy as it sounds. I found that without some kind of carb, I still wanted to eat, even though my stomach was full. May have been just my body protesting the lack of quick fuel, but it was really tough. Worth it though. After you reach your goal, you can add good carbs back in, but keep it smart and keep it good. Stay away from breads, noodles, white rice. Brown rice okay, Dave's killer bread, okay.
On Yoga, I don't care if it's granola, Yoga works, it is amazing fo your flexibility, and even your strength.
One thing though, if you buy a Subaru, make it an STI. If you get a Forrester, then all of my premonitions about you were correct.... You're a lesbian.
