The people that are truly successful with losing weight are those that keep it off for years and, ultimately for a lifetime. Success is not simply losing weight on a diet as just about any diet will result in weight loss. If you’ve lost the weight only to regain it and more, then the method you used didn’t work. Yo-yo dieting is not success despite all the weight that was lost over and over on a myriad of diets. There are some things that people who have kept off large amounts of weight tend to have in common–that’s eating a healthy, low-fat, high nutrition diet that isn’t too restrictive of calories and, most importantly, regular moderate to high intensity exercise such as walking an hour a day-the latter seeming to be the most important of the two for fat loss.

I write about such issues as a psychologist specializing in the psychological side of weight management on my website and blog: http://www.FatMatters.com

Good Luck!
