Don't be afraid to use coaches and mentors, they can and will help you become better / do more / see things differently. Believe me we can't be an expert in everything, so why not use their services to shortcut your own personal and professional development. Let me give you an example of one group of mine:
I know I go on and on and on about my personal battles with diet, exercise and weight loss, but I am NOT a dietician nor am I a personal trainer -though I do use the services of both, plus a few other people and organisationsas well who can help me.
My personal trainer is also a dietician - though I am not that strict with her eating plans as I should be. My first session a while back she said "right, we'll start with 7 kilo dumbbells and see how you go ... hmmm that's too easy - here's the 9's...)
My diet is predominantly based on a lifetime of trial and error, but what seems to work for me is a low carb diet. When I eat too many carbs I do stack the weight on :-( the weight loss comes about by removing most of the refined carbs in my diet... and through brisk walks.
With that in mind, let me say this:
* What works for me, may not work for you
* Get advice
* Your mentors and coaches will change as you change and grow (or shrink as the case may be)
* Start slowly if you haven't exercised in a while
* Be willing to push yourself even if you don't want to doit.
* Don't just use the scale as the only measure of success
