I do lots of walking - and various other keep fit classes too. I eat tons of really healthy food - which is certainly not too low in calories (I am currently averaging about 1600 calories a day and that is deep into my long term project).

I lost over 100 pounds in my first year - but I did stay focused for the entire time. I didnt take holidays and managed to keep tight control of my food and exercise levels over things like Christmas.

I think that you can do it. Having said that - I thoroughly agree with what the others have written about the fact that you should feel great about your achievements to date - and whatever loss that you get over the next year will make you so much nearer the person that you want to be.

I can say that I continue to work as hard as ever but my rate of weight loss has certainly slowed down over the months. In the past I have had months where I lost 14 pounds - now I can be lucky to get 5 pounds by working just as hard. Please prepare yourself mentally for this kind of slowdown as I would hate you to get disheartened and give up. I sometimes think that there is no logic behind the rate at which our weight changes - all that we can do is work as hard as possible and hope that the change happens soon. That has worked for me so far!
