This actually isn't true for everyone. The "eat a little less, move a little more" does work for some, but for others of us nothing happens, weight wise, when we make moderate changes. It may work for the OP, but it doesn't for me. I need to shock my body into changing. I've found I need to drop all added sugar and grains and potatoes, and give it about a week, and then the weight begins to come off a couple pounds a week at a time. Does the weight creep back if I eat too much sugar or bread later? Yup. And I have to start over. But if I keep an eye on it I can eat moderate amounts of pasta and bread (like a couple times a week) and stay at my goal weight.
Yup, this is me exactly. Whrn my weight truly makes a leap, it's because I go nuts, eating chips, dessert daily, bagels, donuts, and washing it all down with copious amounts of wine. I play chicken because I've always been able to take it off, but one day the bell will toll for me and my number will be up.

When DH and I need to shed weight quickly, we do very low carb. Meat/poultry/fish/eggs for every meal plus a non-starchy veg (broccoli, salad, zucchini, peppers, etc). NO sugar of any kind, no fruit, no nuts, no beans/grains, no white flour, and NO alcohol. You have to be very careful to look for added sugars in things like salad dressing, tomatoes, onions, too much dairy.
DH usually loses 15 lbs in 2 weeks, and I can lose around 8 lbs. If you don't go back to eating horribly right after (i.e. tons of refined carbs, white sugar, etc) you can keep it off.
Then why do you have to do it over and over, your post says when we need to lose weight quickly, a0 quickly never works b) prime example of why, messing with diets never works exercise and healthy eating. always wins.

I would revise your question, OP.
Ask "Which method works to lose 25 quickly AND you maintained overall weight loss for a significant amount of time (four+ years)."
If anyone had to repeat their "surefire" method, then it didn't work. A healthy, effective weight loss is one that teaches you to eat when it comes time for maintenance.
Otherwise, you are just playing chicken with your long term health and goals.
If you can't really sustain for more than a week, then you need some accountability. I would try weight watchers, or a support group, a personal trainer/nutritionist who will motivate you and keep you accountable to yourself.

eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper
obviously eat healthy, but i have found (60lb weight loss, then got preg, lost 65 of the 68 i gained when preg) that eating more during the day, and much less, or even skipping dinner at night helps the scale go down faster/easier.

When I need a kickstart I always do something similar to the dukan diet. Tons of meats (low fat ones like poultry or lean beef), lots of vegetables (not carby ones like potatoes and corn though!) and water only. The pounds melt off. It's incredible what not eating carbs does do you. I only use BBQ sauce or ketchup on the meat and try to grill it so it has more flavor.
Then slowly you add healthy whole grain carbs in.

I need a jump start and I need to see the scale go down. Or I will lose motivation. I try and try and usually give up after a week. Ifbincan shed the first 25 I feel like I would feel successful and not like a failure.
