    I think my advice would be to ask yourself why you think only stuck to it for a few weeks in the past? What were the barriers? Were you trying to lose weight quickly, and got too hungry and wanted to eat everything? Were certain foods totally off limits? If you had a "bad day" or even just a "bad meal," was that your excuse to completely throw in the towel? Did you get frustrated when the weight loss slowed down, even when you seemed to be doing all the right things (because that will happen, even more likely as woman)?

    Everyone has given you great advice, but weight loss is individual. What do you think you can keep up long term? What is your plan for when your diet may start to go off the rails a bit? I don't have specific advice, but perhaps to take what you've read here already so you can lose weight in a gradual way, with a style of eating you can maintain for life (with of course adding in some more calories once you've reached maintenance).
