I agree with you that moderation is the key. Not too many years ago I weighed 248 pounds but am now down to a healthier 210 taking about 6 inches off my waistline. I did this simply by moderating how much I ate, when I felt myself starting to feel full I would stop eating. It does take retraining the brain that it's ok to feel a little hungry.

Congrats, that's a huge cut. I myself is having difficulty cutting down a pound off my current weight. Indeed it takes a discipline for it and I'm lacking it, hehe.
About what you said, I think I eat much faster than my brain's reaction to tell me to stop eating. I guess I have to train myself to feel a little hungry and if I'm able to, it could work on me since I normally satisfy myself in every meal that I take ;)
Eating fast is a real problem, the brain is slow to pick up on the fact that we have eaten enough. An article I read somewhere indicated we should put our forks down between each bite. I grew up in a family that had meals together and everyone talked during dinner, the conversation forced everyone to eat slower and dinner was extended.
