This is a tough question without knowing much about you, your fitness level, your desired fitness level, your food preferences, your lifestyle, your schedule, etc. But my general advice is to just pick something and do it. So many great, effective ways to lose weight, and you don't have to lose 100 pounds with Atkins. If you want, you could lose the first 10 with counting calories, the next 10 with veganism, etc. Some people swear by the gradual changes method. First week, swap sugared soda for water. Second week, add in extra veggies. Etc. I prefer the "jump start" method. Get results early, and let those results fuel you through challenges. But the bottom line is -- you just need to start.
So - I would suggest you choose something that works for you and get going with it. Give us more details about your preferences if you want us to make some suggestions. I have been at this a very, very long time, and the only thing that I have seen that is consistent about everyone who has success is consistency of effort. The way to achieve this consistency, though, tends to vary with each person and our own psychological/lifestyle challenges.
Glad you're here! Good luck!
