40yr old looking to lose 40 with friends

Hi there - I've been struggling to lose weight for a year now, instead have watched the scale go the other direction. At 5'3 and 164, I've got 30-40 lbs to lose to get back to my comfortable weight. I'm a stay at home mom now, taking care of my 4yr old daughter. Was on Weight Watchers for a while but couldn't make it work (mostly because I wasn't good about tracking). Now I'm determined to use MFP and track daily, get to the gym 3-5 times per week.

Looking for friends to follow and keep the motivation going. Anyone with similar goals/challenges?
