Some other tools to help you along would be myfitnesspal, a free and easy app that you can use with smart phones, computers, etc. that helps you keep track of the calories you're consuming during the day. You can also add sync other devices and apps to track how many steps you take in a day-like Fitbit and Jawbone Up. It's amazing what it does.
