kcary, welcome and congratulations on taking care of your health. I know you want to stay healthy for that 2 year old.
I find that calorie counting works best for me, no restricted foods , reliable, flexible and free. I eat fresh fruit, vegies, lean meat, chicken and fish. I also include yogurt and non fat milk. I plan every meal ahead of time, it really only takes a few minutes to plan a days menu. There are other plans, it is OK to experiment until you find what is best for you. I did all kinds of diets before I realized that calorie counting was something I could live with even after reaching goal.
