It's much less stressful - and healthier - if you cut calories a little slower. Write down everything you eat in a week and add up the daily calories. The next week, try to cut your daily intake by 10%. Then every two-three weeks later cut it again. Do this until you feel you've cut too much. That's your limit.
I've been told that this is better than drastically cutting calories because it's easier to maintain in the long-term. Seems to work for me.
Exercise is also very important. At least three or four times a week, 30-45 minutes each time. I focus on cardio stuff only - walking, running, bike riding, rowing machine, etc.
