I can recommend a site: Spark People . It's free, has lots of encouraging articles, advice, etc. Best of all, there is a very easy tool for tracking your calorie consumption, and also a tool for tracking your weight loss - it helps to see your progress in graph form. I have lost 10 lbs. and find that what helps is tracking your daily calorie intake, making it easier to plan your meals and helping you to "ration" your treats reasonably. Joining is easy, and it promotes sensible weight loss - not gimmicks.
