if you have a smart phone, check out either the daily burn or my fitness pal apps; they are both free, i prefer my fitness pal, you can set your goals, and if you are honest with how you record your meals, you get an idea of what nutrients your deficient in and what your eating too much of, it also helps with being accountable for what you are eating. i've only lost 5lbs, but really thats all i wanted to lose, i'm at my high school weight (2003)
also, try to not drink your calories; and "light" and "diet" drinks/foods almost always have aspartame in them, which some doc's think make people crave even more sugar. also try to cut out processed foods; I cut out the majority of processed foods and could tell a huge difference in my energy levels, my mood and my weight.
btw carbs are not horrible for you, in fact you need some carbs, but watch what type of carbs your consuming, whole grains are your best option
