I know exactly how you feel ; but I was at it much longer. I'm 63 and have changed my life considerably by knocking off a whopping 30kg. I started last August by watching "Forks over knives" and stayed off meat, dairy and processed food just about completely. I've since cut the starch to as little as possible. To balance I've introduced more fish and eggs every now and then. The most compelling video by far though was "Sugar the bitter truth" you gotta watch that. However you also have to live life and no-one can sustain a monk type existence for long. My latest emphasis is on schedule. Rather than thinking I can go cold turkey I schedule sorta "naughty nights" In particular I will try to stick to just two nights a week for a drink. It means I'm still enjoying the social scene but bouncing straight back the next day to watching my intake. I have found this website and its associated iPhone app very useful. I also have "runtastic" to log activity. In addition the "Withings" weighing scale which connects to the my fitness app logs that awful statistic for you. Having been morbidly obese most of my life I'm looking forward to the next 7kg or so to get to just the top of ideal. But for sure this has to be a life change you can live with; not the dreaded yo yo that we all have experienced.
