Recommend a Weight-Loss Web Site or App

I've gained a tonne of weight since I had a baby. Now I'm ready to do something about that. I don't feel like WW or Noom are right for me. Details inside. Please recommend something.

I would like something that will create some accountability and log/record/graph prograss and behaviour change.

I feel like the obsessive points-counting of WW is not for me.

I tried noom, which I expected from their ads to be very science-based, but it feels like a gimmick that they just pick one thing (calorie density) as the ONLY THING the HOLY GRAIL of what you need to eat. For example, I feel like I really need to cut back on sugar and simple carbs, but this doesn't seem set up for that. The so-called science looks like someone took an undergrad psych course and then put together some click-bait facebook videos. I was expecting the whole "you get your own goal specialist to help you figure out your way of thinking/triggers etc. etc." to be something close to therapy around food, but it's just someone sending you canned texts. (yes, I realize for the price you can't expect much more, but their ads don't make it sound like canned texts).

I feel like I have a pretty good idea what to eat and how much to eat. I would like a system that lets me specify those sort of things rather than just deciding everyone needs to do X (eat only low calorie-density foods or whatever). I want to log meals but not obsessively (e.g. I like that noom has units like "a handful"). For logging it would be great if they had Canadian foods in their menu options. If it could sync with fitbit that would be great.

Basically, I want to eat more sensibly, deciding for myself what that means, and would like a system to quantify that a little, create some accountability, and just be generally supportive. What's my website or app?
