That focus is the biggest thing. I binge eat. That's why I weigh 258 lbs. I spent the better part of my adult life being 5'8" and 155 and feeling fat. Well, when you weigh over 100 lbs more than that, you realize what an idiot you were for thinking that. As of today I'm 19 days binge free. This, my friends, is a big deal for me.

That's me at 263. I've never in my life weighed more than that. Ever. And I never plan to again.
I've been doing Weight Watchers. I'm not overly happy with it, only because it seems like I am getting a LOT of food to eat. I get 39 points a day. I mean, it's great when I want something like a Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bowl with sour cream and guacamole for dinner (19 points), but I'm not always so hungry. I've even upped my daily grande nonfat chai from Starbucks to a Venti (only one more point, but still). I know I'm not eating enough fruit and veggies, but even many of them are 0 points.
Maybe I've set my expectations too high, but in the past when I've been in Weight Watchers, those with more weight to lose seem to lose more weight quickly than those with less weight to lose. I've been exercising an average amount, though not as much as I would like to simply because I was sick for a week, got well for a week, and now I'm sick again. I'm still training for the Tinkerbell Half Marathon. And I know as the weight continues to come off I'll be walking faster and further.
I should do fine for the next week, but after that it will be a challenge. I have a birthday party on the 30th, the 1st is my actual birthday, and April 5th is Opening Day for the Rockies. All days that I may overindulge by choice a little bit. The challenge will be to get back on the wagon before falling off completely.
