Jen PHow old is your daughter? There is a FANTASTIC software called dietpower (http://www.dietpower.com) that allows one to keep track of food (essentially count calories, points, whatever) on the computer and adjusts itself to your metabolism as you log food over time.
Before I got pregnant with our most recent child (the one with CAH), I lost 40 pounds in 1.5 years -- almost effortlessly -- by keeping track of what I ate and not going over their allotment OR using exercise to get more calories. It was extremely motivational.
I started using it again yesterday (6 weeks postpartum).
