One diet that works is the Atkins diet. I am on it right now and i have lost 27 pounds in 4 months. What it is is eating a very low amount of carbs. You start off at 20 and increase weekly. For more info about it email me at starusa11589@alamedanet.net or IM(aol) me at alohagal10. The diet didn't sound good at first but there are a lot of low carbs candies, cookies, ice cream, pasta, bread and more. I hope this helps you and don't hesatate to email or IM me!
