Hi There, I am happy to help get this forum going, I am using a tool currently called the diet plate, its a special calibrated plate and bowl to help with portion control 
I am currently a size 22 and want to get down to a size 10, I havent weighed myself at all for two months since I gave them away, weighing oneself can get obsessive. Anyway i have had these plates for a couple of weeks and I would say they help with the food part and also I home cook, everything from scratch, well apart from bread lol when I was dieting I was eating differently from my children and thought that wasn't good surely if i wasnt prepared to eat what they did then they aren't eating the right foods, so now using my plates I eat what they have but on these special plates and i can feel a difference in my clothes.
I have a before pic taken so when I am confident I have whittled my size down a bit I will post it with a progress pic
Anyway if anything me and my family eat together and we dont much processed food, also I dont buy biscuits or chocolate, we have lots of fruit and yoghurts(probiotic yoghurt basic ones from sainsburys, only 15p for four of them!) in and eat freely of those, my younger girls dont miss them but my 15 year does, shes always saying she craves chocolate lol!!
