I'm 5'10" and weigh about 250 pounds. I'll just say that while I have problems keeping on a diet as well, they work wonders! A couple of years ago I simply started eating less and eating healthy and lost about 40 pounds in 3-4 months. I didn't exercise or do anything athletic and still got down to 210 pounds in a few months.
Of course, I gained all of the weight back due to a taste/smell disorder I have (well, I also enjoy eating, so that didn't help).
I started a new diet this past semester. I was at 260 when I started the diet and got down to 235 in 3 months. All I did was eat healthy again. Eating healthy (and in much smaller quantities) works really well, but it all comes back if you breach the change. I got home to my job this summer and gained it all back from my job (I work in a kitchen). I weigh 250 now, but plan to go back on my diet this semester at college.
My point is: dieting will make you lose more than 10 pounds if you stick to it. Eat diet foods, eat less, and don't sway from the change. You WILL lose the weight!
