Diet Blog has a nice, no nonsense approach to dealing with your favorite foods and how to avoid overeating them. One of the problems I have had in the past is the yo yo phenomenon were I lose weight and then pack it back on again after I get off the diet. For me, the biggest struggle is dealing with the reality that a diet isn’t a one time thing but a change to a new lifestyle so that post is a good start for me in enjoying foods that I love without sabotaging my own health.

Radical Behavior has an excellent post on calculating what your ideal weight should be, and after looking around, found that there is not any hard calculation to make it easy. Calculations vary a lot, and I find that even the BMI calculations for the definition of being “overweight” tend to be too low for me at least when I consult with my doctor about it. I’m borderline line overweight according to the charts, but to anyone who notices my recent weight loss, I look fairly skinny.
