Congrats on the weight loss, Lorrie!
I found the whole glycemic index thing to be the real deal for me. No white flour, rice, or starch-y stuff.(I eat lots of sweet potatoes, tho) Only whole grains. Lots of protein. No juice. Don't eat crap. Exercise. Lots of interval cardio and circuit stuff. All body weight exercises.(pull-ups, push-ups, etc.) Cycling.
The shit just works. It's simple but it sure as hell ain't easy.
I was never very heavy but after I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in '06 I fucking changed everything. Keep the stress low. Get enough sleep. No booze, either.
Dropped about 23 pounds and got to around 9% body fat.
