OH OH OH... I can give you tips. We are almost identical. At my heaviest (6 months ago) I weighed 159 pounds. I am 5'3". I felt like I was WAY heavier than that. I was tired all the time and my biggest fault, I loooooove food, but I loved the thought of feeling good about myself more. What I did was simple: I did not allow myself to have anything to drink but good cold water for the first 3 weeks. I lost 6 pounds... and didn't exercise one bit. I still ate what I wanted to but much slower and smaller portions. Afterwards I allowed myself to have only one soda (12oz) a week but to continue to drink mostly water. I also now walk for 15 minutes and do 50 crunches mon-thurs. Total loss so far is 11 pounds in a total time of about 3 months. I'm sure anybody boosting the exercise could lose at least 2 or 3 times that much. I'm just totally lazy when it comes to that though. I'm really happy @ 148 pounds, Im just now working on toning my belly for the beach a little.
I wish you more than luck for the body you want!!
