Best way to stay on track weight loss ?

Set sensible goals: Successful dieting requires that a person stick to a plan for months or years, so easier goals & small milestones are good. He must be happy with the foods he gets to eat, so severe calorie restriction is usually unsuccessful. One can cut back on calories enough to lose 1-2 pounds a week, and he will be more likely to stay with that modest type of plan. One-two pounds a week is 50-100 pounds/year!

Daily: Weight loss to be permanent needs to be the commitment to a new life. Essentially it is on a regular basis changing How much you eat, What you eat and How you eat it. Typically this needs to be associated with other lifestyle changes too! Although I do not continue to go, it is an area where I found a weight loss center helpful. It gave me an initial coach to get started.
