My weight loss secret is portion control. I am still eating everything I like, but I'm weighing and measuring it, logging it into MyFitnessPal, and staying in within my calories recommendation nearly every day.. I've gone over a couple of times. I already had a good grasp of nutrition, so adding portion control is just what I needed.

Best secret is: PLAN YOUR MEALS AHEAD OF TIME! I will make a 7 day plan each week and write it down or use myfitnesspal to enter my meals. I use another app for my grocery list to enter all the items from my 7 day plan. Use the grocery list at store come home then enter the meals in myfitnesspal using the barcode scanner which tracks all the calories and other info. I hardly ever waste any food since I have planned my meals. I used to grab a few of each like apples, oranges and other fruit but now in my cart I have one of each and I know exactly the day I will eat that item. It's not only good for weight loss but also on the pocket book. I try to keep it simple also. Too many healthy meal recipes call for too many items so I search the internet for the most easy recipes that are healthy. Before I planned my meals I used to go through the process of illimination of what I wanted to eat.

Buy lots of measuring cups and measuring spoons. If they are always handy it's easy to not "guess" at serving sizes. I agree about planning in advance too.
