Enter your stats and desired rate of loss...MFP will give you a calorie target for weight loss. Log your food and hit your calorie targets. It's that simple.

Thank you, now I just have to get some exercise in and get the baby to sleep at night. Lol

Plus I have a big appetite, I am always hungry so I have a hard time "dieting".

Make whatever macro helps you feel full longer your priority (for me it's protein, your mileage may vary). Fiber can also help in that regard. Also utilize things like veggies which are usually low-cal allowing you to eat large volumes of them.
