    Slow and steady wins the race- don't expect to lose more than 0.5 - 2lb a week especially if you have less than 20lb to lose.

    The only person you will ever cheat by masking what you're *actually* eating / burning is YOU.

    Be honest, and realistic....

    Log everything you eat, no matter how crappy your choices are. Accountability is the key to making better ones.

    Don't be afraid to have a cheeseburger if you want one, and enjoy it. This will help prevent binging. I have at least 1 meal like that per week and sometimes more, but I keep within my calorie goal and its been working well =)
