I think your right, to think long term. Too many people think they can get a quick fix, but the reality is those who do these fad diets, lose a lot quickly, but then very quickly put it back on again.
Like others have said get a good training routine, and keep the diet clean and it will gradually come off. Measurements are a good guide to keep, as others have said the weight loss might slow if your going muscle, but if the measurements are dropping then you are on the right lines.
I would also say that you need to push yourself hard when at the gym, people sometimes think they are, but there normally is a little something extra in there!
Good luck!
