Work in progress (with pics)

Hi all. I'm an Aussie chick, 30 years old, 5'5. For a long time I have been visiting this site, seeing people's amazing journeys and sometimes posting on the boards. It's been over 2 years since I joined this forum and I'm not seeing the results with my weight loss that I'd hoped for. I'll lose 5 kilos and go back up. In May this year I began walking and changing my diet to exclude junk food, especially sugar, which is my main downfall. I went down from about 204 lbs to my current 185 by about July. It happened very slowly though and I eventually gave up and started eating the same crap I used to, and am still struggling with. Now my weight is hovering around 80-82 kgs and I can't seem to get down below 80. I am really fighting my body's urges tooth and nail at the moment and my stressful lifestyle is not helping. So, in hopes that I will motivate myself, I will start posting some progress pics of myself at my high weight (204 lbs; 92.5 kg) and hope to update at a later stage with new, hopefully skinnier, pics. So, if this works, you should see a pic of me below from April this year which really shocked me as I didn't think I was quite that size:
 
You have a lovely figure for your weight, when I was 173lbs (my highest) I'd lost my waist, but you still have one! :)
Good luck fighting your plateau! :)
 
You've done great so far! You could post up a pic of where you are now for motivation too. The comparison with photos is often more striking than when we just look in the mirror.

I look forward to hearing about your successes :)
