    Congratulations! We are the same height and started out about the same weight, but I'm stuck with trying to get those last 20 pounds off. Your pictures give me a point of reference as to what I can look forward to. You are a beautiful young lady.

    Thanks for all your lovely comments :)

    For those asking about the final 15-20lbs; they were definitely the hardest. I found that it was a slower process, so I didn't expect a big loss every week. I found that it was very important not to find this discouraging and to keep at it. I also found that increasing my exercise helped a lot too.

    Most importantly I found the key was not to starve myself. I had a long plateau at 130lbs but I noticed I had been netting my calories at below 1200 for most of the week. I found that once I had started netting at 1400-1600 a day, the weight started to come off again and I felt much better in myself (more energy etc).

    Fieldskathy, the only advice I have really is to think about your plan in the long term, try to have a loose plan of your meals and exercise in advance if you can, but also know that the odd treat every now and again is a good thing. I think I have definitely learnt that 'everything in moderation' is the way to go.

    If anyone would like to add me, feel free. I'd like to think I'm a pretty supportive MFP friend ;)
