Yes, you're not that far away from where you need to be. It's completely doable. I lost around 70 lbs. with MRC and gained some back during a pregnancy. This time, I have aobut half that amount to lose, and it feels much more doable. Your loss would be similar to mine. It is possible.
I personally believe that any diet works if you follow it. I've done WW in the past, and if you follow it (and use the "healthy checks"-- oils, veggies, fruit, etc.) then you will lose. For me, though, I didn't eat may fruits and veggies and chose carbs or sugary stuff to use my points on, and I'd get hungry later and then go over. MRC is more structured in making me eat protein and veggies, so it works better for me, but not everyone is the same. I tend to do better on lower carb diets because carbs tend to trigger cravings for me. If I weren't on MRC, I think I'd probably try South Beach. I like how MRC has a lot of support, though, if you have a good center. There's a lot of accountability in having to weigh in in front of someone. That helps me a lot.
