I'm 6'2" and about 205 lbs. Down from 230. I was 172lbs for about a decade when I worked retail. Then I turned 30, got married, and got a desk job. I am determined to get back around 170-180.
A juice fast is great. Get a good juicer and drink nothing but fresh veggie and fruit juice for 10 days. The first day is pretty easy. Days 2-4 are hell. Then you start to feel really good and start to realize how much time out of the day you spend preparing food and cleaning up the kitchen, etc. You will probably lose 20-30 lbs this way. It's been about 1.5 years since I did this and I need to do another. Then eat a balanced diet and excercise a bit to keep it off.
Atkins is a bad idea for the long term. It works on the principal of Ketosis, which puts yourbody in an imbalanced, toxic state. I know a handfull of people that do it and it works, but it is the lesser evil for them because they are grossly obese and it is a start.
