I lost 3 1/2 stone in 3 months by doing 3 to 4 spin classes a week at the gym, each 45 minutes, made sure I worked very hard. Got very fit too.

also stayed off the booze, chocolate, cakes, crisps, coke etc

Have kept may weight down by occassional gym visit and being careful what I eat

The only way to lose weight, apart from chopping off body parts, is to consume less calories than your body needs. Think of your fat reserves as the bank. Too many calories and your body stores them in the bank. Too few calories and your body starts to make withdrawals to keep up with current expenditure rates. It doesn't matter which diet you choose. They all work on calorie control, even the ones that don't realise they are doing it such as Atkins.
Everyones calorie requirement is different. Your age, size, metabolic rate and lifestyle all determine how many calories you need. Try cutting down your calories by a couple of hundred for a few days, if that doesn't work try reducing it again. Eventually you will find a point at which you start to lose weight. Stay below that point and weight will continue to come off. Go above and you will gain weight, and hit that point repeatedly and you will maintain constant weight. The key is to closely monitor your calories. Weigh everything and evenutally you will get to a point where you can look at something and know roughly whether you should eat it or not.
Think how long it took to get the weight on in the first place. Don't try to lose it too fast or it will not become your new lifestyle, which is what it needs to be.
It's all about what you are happy with. I'm about 1 stone overweight but I can live with that because I get to eat the things I want, but if my weight starts to creep up I know what I need to do to bring it back down.

Ian Harris has a degree in nutrition or something doesn't he?

And a competitive cyclist, he looks pretty lean to me - send him a PM

The thing it has been for me, is running really ... just lots of exercise. Running, swimming, cycling. ... since having my second knee op, it's less running unfortunately
