Hi Gina, welcome 
I am in a similar position - I have put on nearly four stone in just under three years, not good!
Every person is different and what might work for you might not work for other people and vice versa. Why not have a look around the individual boards and see if any of the plans would suit you?
I have tried many, many diets over the years. I joined Slimming World nearly two weeks ago (one of the few I've never tried in the past) and i'm loving it. It gives me the freedom to still enjoy my weekly glass or two of wine and foods I really enjoy.
Good luck with whatever you decide, stick around here as you'll get lots of support and encouragement

To be honest I have to admit that I thought that too about SW - I couldn't get my head round how I could eat all this food and still lose! I lost 3lbs in my first week and hopefully see a loss on Tuesday at my second.
I'll keep popping in to see how you're doing

Hiya i can also recommend SW it's really good for learning about food and it encourages home cooking.
I'm currently cal counting a it's good but as there are no rules except staying within calories It can b difficult if you have no willpower, plus u have to weigh everything and record everything, on the plus side if I want a piece of cake I can as long as I count it x

Welcome and good luck with whatever you decide on. I don't know anything about SW but it appears to be quite popular and there must be a reason for that. With four kids you'll probably be most successful with a diet easily adapted to family dinners and a simple, non-time consuming one. What a great place to inquire about the different diets since your requirements are clear and specific!

Hi chick,
I am in a similar situation, as in I need to lose about another 7 stone. I would ALSO highly recommend slimming world. I'm a mum to 2 boys and we can all eat the food, I don't feel restricted overly and it's more about making changes and thinking about what you actually put into meals. I have already lost 19.5lbs. Good luck with whatever you decide!
