There is also a great website sparkpeople.com. They offer healthy lifestyle tips, calorie counting and record keeping, and a community of other people losing weight. It's free, which is nice.
I tried Atkins, and I lost weight on it, but I just craved carbs all the time and it drove me nuts.
The main reason that I decided to lose weight was fear of diabetes.
The Governor or Arkanasas, Mike Huckabee, lost 100 pounds after he was dignosed with diabetes. He wrote a book about his experience called, "Stop Killing Yourself with a Knife and Fork". The book is worth reading. When I think about going off my diet I pick it up and read a chapter. Huckabee's diabetes went away when he lost the weight.
