Looking for motivation

I am usually a very private person but I am looking for some motivational friends who are on the same journey toward fitness. I just turned 35 and I have a 9 year old daughter. My eating habits have started to rub off on her and I am worried that she will grow up to be overweight just like me. I currently am tipping the scale at 203 lbs, to make it worse I am only 5 ft tall. My goal is to be around 135 or 140. I can sit here and make all kinds of excuses about why I am overweight but the real reason is my lack of motivation. I have been a member of MFP for a long time but I am horrible about using it. I am in my last month of college and I have decided not to walk at graduation due to my weight. I decided to go back to school only after I met my fiance. I have delayed our wedding and pulled away from any social life that I once had. I will soon be a certified teacher and I will have to present myself with confidence and professionalism, I decided that now is the best time to start working off the excess weight that is dragging me down. I spend hours looking at fitness blogs and workout routines but that's as far as I go. I would love to have MFP friends to encourage and motivate me on a daily basis. Please feel free to send me a friend request.

    The past couple of days have been great. I have gained many new MFP friends and I like being held accountable for my daily choices.
