I need to lose weight

I have wanted to lose weight for a long time now. I've tried counting calories. I've tried counting fat grams. I've tried counting points. I've tried diet drinks for breakfast and lunch. Nothing seems to work. I've never tried diet pills though. I've been doing some looking around and I've found something called Miracle burn and the reviews put it in the top 10 among diet pills. But taking diet pills makes me nervous. The side affects are scary. I'll have to do some more research before I make any major decisions, but I really need something to help me here. I can't seem to do it alone. *sigh*
