Sparkpeople.com has a lot of good diet support and message boards. You can choose a dieting buddy by looking at profiles, even post your own profile to see if someone chooses you. (And it's all free.)

Yahoo Groups has a lot of great weight loss support groups. I own one of them - if you're interested, send me a private message and I'll send you the link.

I got all of my weight loss support online instead of "in person" at meetings. I think a lot of it depends on your personality type (I HATED in-person group meetings) and your proximity to in-person dieting groups. Of course some groups are better than others and I think it takes a good deal of trial and error to find something you're comfortable with.
 
I joined Weightwatchers.com. It was very helpful to give me an idea of the amount of food I really should be eating (I was WAY over). The only thing I don't like about it is the performance of the website. The Points Tracker frequently boots you out after you've just spent 5 minutes updating it for the day. I haven't logged on and tracked in a couple weeks.

They do have lots of good recipes.
 
HEY! I LIKE this Sparkpeople.com! It's way better than Weightwatchers.com. Wish I had asked before I did the online membership. I've sent the link around to the ladies in my department who are all trying to get their figures back. Well, 4 of them actually are. The other 2 SAY they are, but don't do what it takes.

The only thing I don't like about it is that it won't let you "schedule" weight training on consecutive days. I do mine Tue/Wed/Thu. Of course, I'm splitting upper body on Tue/Wed and lower on Thur.
 
I LOVE Calorie King.com. I lost 60 lbs in 6 months logging my food in their diet diary (I downloaded the desktop and sync it with the online diary). The desktop is a one-time fee (like $30) and the online is around $20 a year (you don't need both, I just prefer to log on my desktop and enjoy the forums and online tools).
