You should also consider going to a nutritionist, to find out how many pounds do you really have to lose, based on your age, lifestyle, etc.

The system you choose should also contain a period of maintaining after losing all that weight. You will not be in a better shape if you bounce back to your initial weight once you ended the program. Maintaining proved to be the hardest thing to do in weight control management and not everybody succeeds doing that once they reached their dream weight.
