In less than a year she went from 181 to 135 and from a size 12 to size 8. All by watching what her portions, no exercise whatsoever. I am still trying to get her to at least take walks in the evening and I am hoping that she will eventually start doing that.

Good for Mom! And much to her credit she didn't make the mistake of associating exercise with weight loss. Hopefully she'll do it for its documented health benefits and because it may actually be more important for maintenance than weight loss.
