I guess I should have been a bit more specific.  I totally forgot that I have no stats on my profile.  I'm 5'4.5 and 155 lbs.  My measurements are 39-32-40.  That gives you a better idea.  I'm at the toned fat stage where I have flub, but definition. 

My mom and I used to be fitness and nutrition buddies and I lost 30 of my 50 pounds and felt great.  But I've recently moved about 400 km away from her and have hit my plateau.  She is still doing amazing, is in the best shape of her life.  I'm stuck here with a boyfriend who doesn't support my eating habbits and who doesn't care about anything regarding health.  I always thought I could do it on my own, but I'm just not as independent as I thought I was.  It's funny how much you don't even realize how much you depend on other people for support and encouragement.  Whenever I didn't feel like going for a work out, my mom made me.  Now, I just don't go.  It's really a drag, isn't it?

If you're going to be lazy about losing weight then it's going to show.  There's no point in dieting and doing atkins, it's just going to put your body through hell.  You've got to start slow, from the sounds of it you've only just started your journey to hell and back.  Nobody said it would be easy, and it never will be so you might as well learn that now, accept it and do the right thing about it.  You're just going to prolong whatever goals you might have because the weight will come back if you don't take the right steps.  The whole point in losing weight is to get over being lazy, to become energetic and a healthy person, and doing what you're doing is not going to help any of those.  I've been trying to lose 50 pounds and it's taken me three years to lose half of that.  YOU MUST BE PATIENT!  It will take a long time to reach your goal but if you are truly dedicated to your deciison to get rid of that spare tire then you've got to be prepared to take the long way.  I know, it sucks, but deal with it.
