I calorie count. Done it a bunch of different ways in the past, some successfully, some not. WW wasn't helpful to me because all it did was focus my mind on doing this or that. Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem worked as long as I stayed on their chemically laden food. The secret I finally worked out for myself was

a)stay away from high fat/high sugar/high carb laden foods,
b)make right food choices at every meal/snack and if you screw up start again at the next meal, not tomorrow or next week,
c)eat smaller portions and stop when full, even if full is at two bites,
d)move more, even if it's just adding extra walking, gardening, whatever. Park farthest from the store, do things you know will add to your activity/exercise level and schedule in regular exercise too.

I've lost over 50 pounds doing these things consistently and I'm hoping to keep losing slowly and steadily till I get to the size I was in college.
