I am going to disagree here. Most diets and weight loss programs are temporary fixes that cause you to gain more weight once you are done. Atkins for example, the high protein high fat diet, causes your body to forget how to live on carbs (you have to) and when you finally do start another carb intake, you store fat.
In MOST cases, finding either exercises, or forms of activity that require you to exercise to better your performance, is the best way. That way you will stay consistent (whoever gives up something they love) versus working out to stare at yourself in the mirror.
Extreme diets cannot work over years, and eventually you have to slow down and stop. Its best to find a healthy way to eat, know the rules of eating, and using them, creating good tasting meals that will keep you eating well. EATING FOR LIFE is a good cookbook for that. Great tasting meals that dont make you feel like you are sacrificing.
So long as you are doing something a little a day, you will get where you want to...and permanently...rather than a crash and burn "quick fix" exercise and diet routine.

pretty much what keiran27 said.
most diets are "canned" meaning they are just some crap someone is trying to sell. Some of them like weight watchers might give you legit information but they don't give you the WHY and the nutritional mechanics behind it.
Also there are things to eat that improve your overall health that you should include in your eating habits that are not just about "weight management".
I would also suggest an excercise routine to build lean muscle as more muscle makes your metabolism higher. raise your "basal" or resting metabolism, then you burn more calories.
Try hybrids that get your heart rate up as well as lifting such as circuit training, and for cardio HIIT (high intensity interval training) is the way to go as it tends to work your legs more.

I agree with eat well...cut calories... and get busy working out.
But..If I had to pick a true diet....I liked the Zone diet. I used it for a year and have maintained a lower weight because of what I learned on the diet. I basically learned portion control and was reminded of what to eat.
