Thank you. I hope you decide to stick around and spend some time exploring the site, there's so much useful and helpful information here- a great idea is really to review your existing habits and look for areas in your routine that you can introduce lasting, permanent changes to both your diet and the exercise you do on a day to day basis. I have tried to never think of what I am doing as a 'diet' and it really helps- you might find reading through the diary section and maybe posting your own diary motivational, it's amazing how many people have been able to healthily achieve weight loss.
