    It is not a diet this time, it is a lifestyle change, embrace it.

    Definitely this ^
    • Set yourself a sustainable rate of loss (don't automatically go for 2lbs a week, it's not suitable for everyone)
    • The best investment for weight loss you can make is a food scale - you'd be surprised at the difference between what you are actually eating and what you think you're eating. Don't get sucked in by the torrent of weight loss products on the web and in the media, you don't need shakes, pills, special foods etc. You can just eat the foods you like in moderation and get a little more active.
    • Log a couple of days of your normal eating - using that find out where you can trim off calories to get to your calories allowance by making small changes you can stick to.
    • Remember weight loss doesn't have to be miserable.
