One (more) piece of advice on dropping weight: You want to lose no more than 2 lbs. a week. Anything more and you're on a crash diet. It took about 6 months for me to lose 45 lbs. And once you get close to your target weight, shift your focus from dropping weight to body composition. As Baraka has suggested, you will want to build muscle to keep it off.
And reward yourself. Set several smaller goals and a few larger ones. I rewarded myself with gear for working out and getting out--i.e. a yoga mat, workout clothing, a good pair of hiking sandals, etc.
