As you are getting ready to ring in the New Year and thinking about getting rid of the "holiday pounds". Don't just think, I need to go on a diet.
Think about some lifestyle and habit changes. Start with this, once a week or even once a month, whichever works best for you, pick one thing to change. One thing to get rid of and one thing to replace it with. For example if you love soda, think of an alternative drink to try to replace it with. Don't make the mistake of just getting rid of something but not replacing something. Another life style change could be changing complaining to thankfulness. Remind your self everyday of this change by writing it on a card to read every morning and every night. If you catch yourself complaining immediately say 3 things you are thankful for. Lets ring in the new year with lifestyle changes and not a "quick fix" that will fad within a few weeks.
