Got a bit off track, rededicating myself (please help)

Four years ago, a friend of mine asked me to be a bridesmaid at her wedding. I was thrilled, but not after I saw the beige strapless lace dress she chose for us to wear. At 184 lbs (and 5ft 3 1/2in), that wasn’t a good look for me, especially being fair skinned. It was the jolt I really needed. By the time the wedding rolled around three months later, I was down 30lbs. All told, I lost 55 lbs in about 7 months (without MFP), all by cutting out most of the sugar, carbs, and general crap I was eating, as well as adding exercise. You can see where I got in my profile picture. That was me at just about 129lbs.

I maintained pretty well for about two years, but the last two have been a little harder, and currently I'm back up 10-12 pounds (moving in with my chef boyfriend hasn't been the best thing for my waistline). It’s not only the scale difference though, but how my body feels, as my working out has fallen off as well. I’ve noticed that 139lbs can mean many different things on me, and if I’m not working out, it looks about as good as 150.

This spring, after trying on last summer’s clothes and recoiling in horror, I decided to rededicate myself to getting back to where I was. My goal is to get down to 125lbs, but really, I want to be toned and firm, like I haven’t been in my life.

Anyway, I’d love to find people who are in a similar situation to help keep me motivated. Maintaining can be difficult, and I let it get away from me a bit, but it’s not too late to reel it back in. Case in point: After eating strictly for two weeks, I've already lost a half inch off my waist and almost an inch off my stomach!
