Excercise and healthy foods and portion sizes are the best you can do. This doesn't mean you'll end up the size you were when you were your thinnest though
This really is the bottom line. Dieting in itself may work short term but most people put the weight right back on after a while (plus, there are some unhealthy diets out there). It also doesn't change your body shape to a more toned and athletic look. Most people find a combination of healthy eating with controlled portions combined with exercise is what works best. This has to become a way of life if the weight loss is to last. My experience with my routine worked well for me, packed on the muscle in conjunction with cardio exercises 3 times a week and cheating on my diet only once a week helped me to raise my metabolism rate, elevate my mood and transform the shape of my body. I was surprised at the results.
The only thing that I found to be difficult was staying on my exercise routine. Family and work obligations have a way of interfering with a careful planned schedule. I know of some people who also tried the Body for Life program but quit after a month or two because it was kind of intense. I quit after 4 months and gained a little bit of the weight back (5 lbs) but I started again this year and hope to stick with it for most of the year (perhaps take a few weeks off every couple of months). One thing that really helped me and has become a way of life was cutting out the soda and sweets... so many empty calories. I now use only equal or splenda w/ 2% milk in my coffee. (I know there is a very slight risk but I think it is a good risk)

here are some samples of different people who tried Body for Life and some excepts from the book
Myth: Aerobics is better for shaping up than weigh training.
Fact: To transform your physique, you must train with weights.
Walking around the block or simply climbing a flight of stairs is better than just sitting there doing nothing. But the best form of exercise, for reshaping your body, is weight training.
Through resistance training, you can also significantly increase your metabolic rate-the rate at which your body burns fat. As you may already know, when you gain muscle, your body requires more energy to maintain that new muscle. Fat weight doesn't require any energy at all to maintain- it just sits there. That's why weight training is even superior to aerobic exercise for people who want to lose fat: It addresses the core of the problem- the rate at which your body uses energy.
If you do nothing but aerobic exercise, even if you eat less, your results will not be optimal. Yes, you may lose weight. But your overall shape will stay the same. If you start an aerobic exercise program shaped like a pear, the most likely result is you will wind up looking like a smaller pear- which is fine, if that's what you want. But that's not what I call a transformation.
With weight training, you not only burn fat but you can also change the shape of your body- you can build wider shoulders, so your waist looks more narrow. You can build muscular arms; lean defined abdominal muscles; strong legs; and you become empowered, confident, and strong.
So even though aerobic exercise does help burn fat, when it comes to transforming your body, proper weight training can't be beat.

I gained a lot of weight last year and started suffering from chest pains. Got checked out and found out everything was fine but I needed to lose weight. I started eating smaller portion more frequently, ate mostly good lean meats and
vegetables, multigrain foods etc. Also started a cardio/weight training routine.Well I lost like 20 pounds of fat in 3 months, gained about 5 pounds of muscle, had to update my entire wardrobe (all my suits had to be athletic cut) and I felt like a million bucks.
I let myself go after that, and gained about 5 lbs since last year... I just started my routine again this year and already lost 3 pounds.

My last 2 years as a Dub about a 3~6 Since I left the dubs about a 6~7 someday a 8 I have to say that since I am meeting more people and as I clear up my head, my general disposition has been so much better. I really expect to hit a steady 7 with good days hitting a 9. One thing that I noticed about my outlook on my future is that I feel so much more positive about it, because I have more control over it. Life has gotten great.
