 Thanks Hollirrose.

Secrets to success.... shhhhh don't tell anyone.

1) Stay on plan.  Especially when you don't want to.
2) Look back and ahead.   Worrying about every pound every day can drive you crazy.  Seeing the road behind you in total and the road ahead to goals is very important to me.  I made mini goals and it made it seem easier than biting off one major goal.  Still have several to go.
3) Exercise - find one you like.  The pool feels like playing to me.  I started water aerobics and stuck to it.  Burns a lot more calories than walking and I can't wait for the next session.  Recently extended to scuba - a more than acceptable substitute for pool water aerobics.  I like hiking better than treadmill too, so when I feel like walking I try to go for a hike.  I typically do at least 2 water aerobics sessions a week and I'm overall about 5x more active than I was before.

Number 1 is the main thing.  Keep protien high and first.  You'll do fine.

Good luck!
