It's more important to stay sober, eat well and be healthy than it is to lose weight right now. The weight will come off in time. Just don't cut calories too severely, it really messes with your stress hormones.

I am on Myfitnesspal, it is a good way to track and log food and exercise. Maybe give it a try. I've been on there for ten years and it is a great tool.
