Looking for motivation

Hi guys and gals! I'm looking for some of that motivation, has anyone seen any?
About a year and a half ago, I was fully motivated eating right and working out almost every day with my best friend. Then my husband and I packed up our family and moved 1000 miles from home. I started a new career as a Law Enforcement Officer and oddly enough, seem to work out less then I did when I was a photographer.
After going home for the holidays and seeing how much weight my type 2 diabetic father lost in a year (100lbs) from cutting his portions down and significantly reducing his sugar intake, my husband seems to finally be on the same page as me and wanting to be healthier. Mostly because he saw that my father didn't exercise to lose the weight.
This past week of cutting sugar and portion size only, I feel better even having a chest cold. My husband says he feels better too.
Im about 35lbs from my goal and what I'm looking for are like minded people wanting to help push each other to reach their goals!

Keep pushing to be healthier. Your goal weight will come. I think we all need motivation. Not just sometimes.1
