Weight loss plans need to have one key element to ensure your success.
If I were to pick one of the most fundamental features needed in a plan to lose weight, I'd say it has to be sustainable. Sustainability offers the insurance that whatever method you use, it not only produces the desired result, but it ensures that you'll be able to keep that result indefinitely, with whatever method you use.
Many overweight people know all too well about losing weight and putting it back on. There's no value in a weight loss plan that helps you to lose, only to regain it later. If it's not sustainable, it's not useful.

Methods that teach you how to make good food choices, praise the importance of physical activity, and encourage self awareness, are the most reliable and sustainable methods. The objective is really to shift the focus away from weight loss, and assist the individual in building a broader approach in managing their health.
I think that when someone only focuses on weight loss they're putting all their eggs in one basket and seriously ignoring the many other elements of what a superior health plan should consist of.
To be certain that you adopt a sustainable approach, I recommend that you forget about the scale and make healthier living your goal. Once you adopt this more global philosophy of self care, your efforts will become more all encompassing. When you start your day off with a healthy breakfast, make an effort to be more positive, and promise to try and move your body more; you will have significantly increased the healthy value of that day.
Once you've lived a few weeks of challenging yourself to live with more respect for your body and mind, you'll become more self aware and see that many features of your life are calling for your attention. This is where sustainability comes into play. When we work on self improvement, there is no end destination. It's a work in progress and as we question our food choices, try to find physical activities that give us pleasure, and work to build a better relationship with ourselves; we will inevitably become more healthy and happy.
