Ok, so I give up. I was on Vacation with the family over the 4th, spending lots of time in a bakini on the beach. Well just to back story a little, I have a nine month old daughter who weighed 8 pounds at birth and was 21.5 inches long, I am only 4'11 so there was a minor space problem which had left me with was too much "extra" skin in the middle. I have busted my ass over the last 5 months and managed to tone back up a lot of it, but the weight is hanging on for dear life apparently. Well, after viewing some pictures after the beach I about cried, I am 23 years old and my body already looks like shit. GRRR!!! While on Vacaction we stoped at a Target for some things and I stumbled upon a book called Skinny Bitch, I read the entire book that night and was horrified and intreged with what it presented to me. So I made a vow, starting this past monday I was making changes, NO EXCUSES, (I am good at those)! I was giving up all red meat, dairy, processed sugar (thank god for Raw sugar), all simple carbs (white rice, pasta, bread, etc.), and I was going to start eating right for the next 50 days, then on day 51 I was going to go completely vegan for 10 days to see how my body reacted.
Well, Monday was day One the day for the statistics, NOT A FUN DAY!!! So here is where I started
Monday, June 7 2008: Weight (gulp)~158.8, Waist 32.5", Hips 31.5", Ribs 33", Bust 40", Right Thigh 24", Left Thigh 26" (what the hells up with that?)
Tuesday, June 8 2008: Weight 158.6 (well thats a big change)
Wednesday, June 9 2008: Weight 157.8 (wow a pound, without even exerciseing yet)
Thursday, June 10 2008: Weight 157.8 (Weighed myself twice to double check)
Friday, June 11 2008: Weight 155.4 ( I am actually amazed, 3.4 pounds down in 5 days, now I can't wait to go to the gym)
*all weights done at the same time each day, sans clothing. Measurements done every Monday.
I highly recomened this Book

I am about as tall as you and roughly around the same weight, I feel what you're going through and I too have just started one of the many diets, its going to be a journey I can already tell. Good luck with your weight loss!!
