Mom on a mission!

Hi, everybody! I am excited to start my journey with myfitnesspal. I am a young, married, mom in my last year of nursing school and have found myself now weighing what I did when my son was born nearly 2yrs ago. My husband and I have both put on 30+lbs in the last 2-3yrs and I have finally decided that it has got to go! With class 5 days a week and working a 12hr nightshift once a week (on top of working from home 5-10hrs/wk) I am having trouble finding time and energy to workout. I want to lose weight and get healthy so I can keep up with my busy little boy. We would like to have another baby shortly after I graduate (in May) but I can't fathom being a hot, fat, blimp through another pregnancy. I currently weigh 236lbs and am 5'6". My goal is to lose 50-60lbs by the time I graduate in May. I have been walking 3+miles atleast 3x/wk for the last month but I am afraid that I am going to lose my motivation for any type of activity when school starts again in a week and I have my head shoved in the books 24/7. I also tend to lean towards fast food/junk when I get busy and stressed, so I know that has got to stop. My husbands uncle has lost 100lbs in a little over 8 months using myfitnesspal with little to no exercise most weeks, so I thought this might be a good place for me to start since the time I have to devote to working out in very limited. Any tips, advice, support, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
