I need to get back on track with this myself. One thing I do a good job of is preparing meals ahead of time. For example, I'll pre-cook a bag of frozen chicken and cut them up and place them in baggies for the week. Then you can add whatever throughout the week; a common thing I do when being healthy is a bit of olive oil, the chicken, mushrooms, and a seasoning. And then at work, I know I have chicken at home, so don't feel like, "Man I should go grab take-out." I still need to do better with some of my snacking and on the exercising more, but at least my meals are healthy!

As for losing weight, as important as cardio is, it's important to not ignore strength training as this can help increase your metabolism. Short-term cardio will work but if you want to maintain, you need a balance that includes a bit of strength work.
