Why thank you!
Yeah, keeping it simple was key for me.
Loosing a big chunk of weight is a long time commitment, so if your approach is too complicated, chances are you will start to loose your resolve pretty soon.
You also have to take into consideration what made you overweight in the first place: Probably an unhealthy lifestyle, or just how you relate to food, it usually is.
So, what needs to change to keep that weight off once you loose it? Your lifestyle, and I dont want my life to revolve around how, what, and when I can eat for the rest of my life. So make small changes, one step at a time, some will work and some wont.
Find the balance where eating is not a choir, and loosing weight is not a job, but where you are happy 90% of the time!
Set up a realistic long time goal, such as: loosing 75lbs in 1 year. Then set up weekly goals, so you know when you're ahead and when you're not. Once you find your pace and balance, you just go on with your life as normal, and the lbs just kind of drops all on their own.
When weightloss slows, make another small adjustment.
This at least is what works for me, I know some need to dedicate themselves 100% to something, and loose (or gain) weight in big bursts.
Just find your own way, took me about 20 years to realize I needed to do this my OWN way, and not follow some diet a read about.
From that day it took me less then a week to figure out a gameplan, and it's worked ever since!
