Forgive me because you didn't ask. But
MFP is a really great tool that makes weight loss as easy as it can be. There's a phone app and a web site, you log the food you eat, it has a database with calories and nutrients. It's kind of a hassle at first but gets easier quickly. It builds or refreshes a sense of how much satisfaction per calorie you get from different foods and that knowledge can help you find a way of eating that works for you. I've lost plenty of weight this way myself.
I actually downloaded this the other day, and used it religiously yesterday. Ended up with over a 1000 calorie deficit for the day...and wasn't really consciously trying to eat less. I certainly wasn't starving myself. It really does seem like if you're constantly tracking what you're doing...you're less likely to do something stupid, or negligent in regards to your health/fitness. I suppose this should be obvious lol. But it doesn't really seem to be in practice.
