What kind of diets work for you?

I personaly lost 100 lbs on the atkins diet it allows you to eat but only certain foods i found it easy to do and am still following it to a great extent!

I use the EAT PROPERLY diet ^_^ I eat fresh veg as much as i can and lots of fish in my diet. It isn't hard because i adore them both. I also take suppliments for things i got get enough of. Exercise wise i run round as much as i can at work and at home i lift weights and do little things like two steps up the stairs. What are you portions sizes like. Eat off a smaller sized plate and dont pile it up! Also 5 small meals a day are better than 3 big meals (but be carefull not to end up eating more!) Also eat more filling foods such as wholemeal bread, fish, oats, even popcorn!!! (its low cal and its yummy!) that way you wont feel as hungry after you eat another tip, eat slowly! It takes time for you brain to get the signal your full. And of course plenty of exersise, did you know people who fidget tend to be thinner because fidgiting burns calories. So if your sat at a desk, bounce your feet about, twist on the chair, stay moving as much as possible. I hope these little tips help. Its not a direct diet but they all aid your goal!

Atkins does work and fairly quickly, but it's hard to stay on and when you start to eat "normally" again, it's easy to gain it back. I know I did Weight Watchers a few years back and lost almost 20 lbs. Can't remember how long...I believe I averaged around 2 lbs a weeks so probably 2 months or so. WEight Watchers is really easy..you can eat anything you want as long as you count points. Now, they have some other sort of system, too besides the point system. You can even do it online if you don't want to go to the meetings. It's not too bad.
