Weight control!

I have put on some +5-6Kg in the past 6 months . Current weight 75.8 Kg with max reaching 77.5 sometime in April08. After being back at home , life has been too comfortable. Being in IT industry all I do is sit in front of desktop all day with usual small breaks. Once started doing some gym exercises on regular basis in Chennai. That was way back in Sept07 in office premises. They had recently got trainers who would coach as per your requirements. The enthusiasm lasted for about a month and fizzled out. Haven't done any regular exercise after that. Now comfortable life at home is showing it signs in form of steady waist line growth..... Need to start exercising on regular basis before it goes out of control limit.
Out of curiosity I was checking on the BMI (Body Mass Index) figure to see if I fit into normal or overweight category. Thankfully I am at 23.2 figure which is Normal category. I further explored to check what is the threshold limit before being called overweight. Max weight up to 81Kg. The Normal category of BMI extends from 18.5 -24.9 .
Target - BMI 22 (71.8 Kg)
Chart below shows the categories based on height and weight
