Going to start tracking EVERYTHING!
"The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore" Vincent Van Gogh
Good for you! I think one of the most valuable things you can do to succeed in weight loss is to track what you are eating. I don’t believe I would have had the success I’ve attained without doing so.

One of my best investments has been a Withings wifi scale- it sends your weight to a computer graph. Expensive but worth it.
Statistically, trackers are better at keeping weight off long term. Whatever works!
So go for it! It will be good for the long term, especially as you go into maintenance. It's not easy to do, but nothing about this journey is easy anyway.
