This is almost exactly my same story including the numbers. If you have a smart phone try the Ap I mentioned in my earlier post. It is free and does exactly what Tom mentions here. I have been doing this about 6 weeks and the difference is really getting noticeable. I still eat what I want but more carefully.
My downfall was milk. Even skim milk has a lot of calories and I was drinking too much. I cut that out and am monitoring what I am eating. I am trying to ride my bike 5 miles 3 times a week but with 3 kids playing baseball, finding the time is difficult.
