In fact, that's how most successes are won: with a long term plan of of action. In fact, we can learn a lot from your experience. First of all, you pointed to a surefire way to pick your expert. You choose to get your advice from " the person who is boringly disciplined rather than someone who has sexy ideas"... that says a lot. My favorite part of your post: “Think long term.”

Feeling good is the key. I have never really had a weight problem, but I am still very careful about what I eat, excercising, and how I spend. (most of the time with the spending) I do have a problem with iced coffees from Mcdonalds though. Add 1.87 four times a week and that will make you say what a waste! I never weigh myself, I go by how my clothes feel weighing is depressing. It also helps to get compliments so do'nt forget to give them when you see a change for the better in someone else.

I just started one week ago and I am lifting almost 50% more weight after three workouts and gained 3 pounds and my jeans are still loose. It is also the simplest program I've seen. Fits nicely with this article: you don't need the nitty gritty pseudoscience, just basic principles. @FRAN:

I can recommend http://www.traineo.com/ if you want a free site that helps track the weight change. It let's you add "motivators" which is to say, it will auto-notify people for you of your progress and provides a traineo badge that includes how much you've lost/gained and how much left to go before you hit your goal.

I read a few years back of a fellow who crossed the US on a bicycle. Not exactly a picture of health, he smoked, ate junk food and carried on the entire trip. He lost weight, became rather fit, but never quit smoking nor gave up eating doughnuts and the like. Pay no heed to the naysayers. I wish you luck-you've certainly offered me far more through your website than I can possibly give in return-I'm happy to encourage you. Ramit, my man, every voyage starts with the first step.
