OK, here's some practical advice for you grabbyzz, to answer your specific question...

What's worked for us is the Atkins diet. I've lost about 30 pounds and J has lost around 50. The Atkins plan agrees with us and we'll continue to eat this way, even after we attain body weights we are happy with. I simply feel better, and have less heartburn and lower cholesterol than before. My doctor is thrilled.

I have no idea if it would work for your wife. Like any diet, if you feel deprived the whole time and don't make it a lifestyle change you can live with forever, when you stop 'dieting' the weight will come back on and will be harder to lose the second time around. She'll have to continue to try things to see what works for her if she wants to lose weight.

I will point out, however, that we did not wait for our fat, white (and in my case, hairy) asses to get smaller before we started swinging. We found plenty of people who would accept us as we were. We lost weight to improve our health and to (theoretically) live longer. I stand by my earlier comments that there is no reason for your wife to hold herself back because she thinks she's fat.
