Hello Determined Girl!
I just popped by your journal and you are almost my exact start weight and height. I was 5'2" and 152lbs, so a little taller, but close non-the-less. That was about 3 years ago, now, and I'm at 119 today! I'm vegetarian, too!
Congrats on the first chunk of weight you've lost! Keep it up! It really looks like you've got a good plan, and you're doing good sticking with it!
