Doing some type of steady exercise and eating less portions is the way to go. It's not a diet, it's changing your way of life. The solution is really quite simple for those of us who are able to exercise. Oh, and as mentioned before, DON'T DRINK YOUR CALORIES. For those that haven't tried it, drink a full glass of water 30 minutes before you eat (you should drink more and more water throughout the day as well). IMO, this is one of the most important things you can do.
Gaining weight and losing it actually go together in the fact that once it starts, the snowball effect is tough to break. Just get the snowball going in the right direction and enjoy the challenge.
