My personal suggestion is one of those which is often overlooked but I have found it has helped myself in the past (dropped about 25-30 lbs in a period of 2 months) but purchase a camelbak or an equivilant product from Mountain Equipment Coop and just keep drinking water throughout the day. It really helps being properly hydrated as you will not have the cravings to eat as much food as you normally would and I also found that I had more energy for when I did work out.
Once again I am not a bodybuilder or anything along those lines so take my opinion with a grain of salt but that has worked for myself in the past.
Also always have some healthy snack foods on hand such as carrots and apples - things that you enjoy. Remember if you hate carrots don't buy them because you won't eat them. I personally love clif bars and find them to be a great thing to snack on or even use as a meal substitute.
But it is good to see that you have the desire to better yourself... now just stick with it.
