Diet advice
I really like the sensible advice and suggestions on losing weight in this article: http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2007-08-27-diet-book-advice_N.htm
I'll add one of my own: make changes in your eating and activity habits that you expect to continue - forever. All too often we go on a diet, or join a gym, never expecting to continue these habits after we've lost weight.
And then we gain back all the weight we lost when we stop those habits.
Whatever you do to lose weight you'll need to continue to do to keep the weight off. Long-term weight loss is difficult because we tend to focus only on reaching our weight goal, then all bets are off. People who keep off the weight stick with their healthy habits and make them part of their life.
