I wouldn't even watch your weight. Perhaps monitor your belt size, and how you feel.
You shouldn't consider it a diet either. You should consider it simply the healthy way you eat =)
And if you can't stick to this method - perhaps you went to extreme to quickly. I, for instance, still use butter and salt as normally. But now, I am putting my butter and salt on fresh veggies, instead of slathering it on a chunck of white bread to go with my heaping plate of non-whole wheat pasta.
You don't have to give up the good things in life, completely anyway.
Add in the healthy things, learn what you like, and run with that. There are so many healthy things to eat, that when you are eating them, you will think "how can health taste THIS good" . . . Mc Donalds? To the curb.
Enjoy eating my friend, because it is something you will most likely do everyday for the rest of your life.
