Losing the last 50lbs - Help me!

Hi all,
So, I'm 27, I'm 5,3 and I currently weigh 180lbs.
I startet out at 203lbs .. went down to 167,5lbs but gained a bit during holiday and because I just couldn't get back into the whole diet thing after the weight gain.. which caused me to gain more.. obviously
I'm now back at it, new starting weight was 184lbs, so during my first 2 weeks, I've lost 4lbs.
I work out 3 times a week at a fitness center, and I ride my own horse 3-4 times a week as well, so exercise is not an issue, I think..
I've started logging my food again, started that about 2 weeks ago, which is probably why I've started losing weight again.
I've had to realise that if I don't log my food, I can't control what I put in my mouth and I gain weight... simple, no? .. No.
I'm writing this, because I could use the support and the thumbs up, when I've logged exercise or completed my diary for the day and I'm under my calorie goal etc.
I know it's really quite silly, but I could just use that little extra pat on the shoulder when I'm doing well, and encouraging words when I'm doing not so well.
I hope a few of you out there will add me provide me with this encouragement, and hopefully help me end this (so far) 4 year journey..
I'm not in a rush, I just want to end up somewhere between 140 - 150lbs..
I'm aware that my wishes are a bit childish, but I hope just a couple of you out there will accommodate them anyway ^_^
Thank you!
