If you could give a stranger who knows nothing about weight loss just one tip, what would it be?
Mine: Spend your money on produce, if you don't like fruits and vegetables, learn to like them and eat as many of them as you can so that you don't have any room left in your diet for unhealthy foods.

Log EVERYTHING you put in your mouth.
Don't set a time frame of how long you will "diet" i.e. "I'm doing 1200 calories till I lose 20lbs" It's a lifestyle change. No keeps those unrealistic standards and ever more rarely do they keep the weight off. Focus on health the weight loss is a bonus.
