Exactly what ntlbell said.

Clean up your diet, start doing cardio and lift weights. Do that, and you'll start losing the pounds.

FJ, I know what you are getting at, I've been the same myself, just want to lose a bit, not even a stone.

You can't beat regular exercise, but as a short term measure, 2 weeks of the Atkins diet, I usually lose 6-8 pounds. It's quite boring though, just fat & protein, no more than 20g carbohydrate a day, which you have to be very strict about. It does work though.
