Welcome Becky! I too watch my mom battle with weight with every thing out there and this time I made a decision to do it the healthy way.
Do you know what food plan you are following? Are you able to get some exercise in?
We have very similar stats, except you are taller, you lucky duck, and I have managed to lose 60lbs, granted it has taken me almost 10 months to do it but its not a race.
Best of luck to you!!
