I'm at my thinnest when I'm a vegetarian. I always stayed under 120 and I'm 5'5". When I was 21, I started eating meat again and I slowly went up to about 150 after about 2 or 3 years. I had been eating lots of large meals but not that much junk food. I was very unhappy so I went on my first "diet". I wanted to lose weight but not have to follow too many rules because I knew I wouldn't stick with it. I cut all soda out (I drank Pepsi almost everyday) and I probably dropped about 5 lbs. from that alone, no junk food EVER, no bagels/croissants and I cut down on the amount I was eating, probably by half. I still ate "normal" food but just not as much. I also tried to stop eating full meals at night. It probably took about a year or two of this but I got back down to about 125. It kept trying to creep back up to 130 so I cut back on the meat. I'm 28 now and mostly vegetarian again and I stay just above 120.
The bad things are that I'm not very active and haven't really been since I was a teenager, that probably had a lot to do with why I gained weight in my early 20s. Also, when I was dieting, I was working long hours (often double shifts, not sitting down), drinking a lot of coffee, staying up for 36 hours at a time and sometimes I only had one meal a day (but I made sure it was big). I didn't really eat at work and breakfast was never much more than coffee.
Oh, I changed to 1% milk in the coffee, less sugar mixed in or the sugar substitutes instead.

I work constantly, but I seem to be losing the battle and not the weight

I'm try to gain five more pounds of muscles on my legs. So far I'm doing okay, half way to my goal. The keep is to have a strong will.

No, I'm not battling, just exercising to maintain. I run everyday, do pushups and situps every morning and before I go to bed. It works for me.
