Want to lose weight? Start by keeping track of what you eat.

Doing so can help you figure out where most of your calories are coming from, which is the first step in deciding which eating habits to toss, keep or replace. But perhaps the best reason to keep track of your food intake is because people who do tend to agree that it really works.

Keeping a food journal detailing every morsel of food you put in your mouth might sound a bit tedious, but there are plenty of online applications that can help you do just that with a few clicks from your mouse -- think FitDay and The Daily Plate.

Tell us -- do you keep track of what you eat?
