Hey i'm new, please be nice!

Hi, I recently registered on my boyfriends recommendation. My boyfriend Arkan. I'm a 19 (almost 20) yr old student, and I try to exercise on a regular basis (3 or 4 times a week). This was also from the influence of my wonderful man, who is currently bodybuilding.
I use to weigh around 88kg (196lb) 3yrs ago and have now reached a plateau at 70kg in weight, which is around 154lb, and yet I am only 5"2inches. So you can guess that I would very much like to lose more weight in FAT and gain more in MUSCLE, target weight being around 55kg. My problem is my diet and I lack self-motivation (it could be laziness). I have read a little on the Insulin Index, which I hope will help me. I would appreciate any diet plan suggestions or links, bearing in mind I crave alot of sweet and chocolatey food!
My exercises involve both weight training and cardio, both of which I don't mind doing and am good at. But as you know that is only 50% of what is required for me! I really need help!!
I also lack self-control!

Here is a picture of myself taken today, I will post up new ones as I progress.

Hey girl! Welcome & congrats on your progress! You probably already know what patience & dedication it takes to achieve what you've already done... so just keep doing it!

Here you'll find lots of info, lots of support and lots of fun! We're right there w/ ya. I think every one of us has some sort of "horror story" about our weight to relate to... the good news is that we appreciate our successes if we remember our failures - or more appropriately termed, our learning experiences!

Looking forward to more from ya!

Did I read correctly? Did you say something about insulin?

I believe she mentioned Insulin Index. Perhaps that is the same as Glycemic Index?
