In need of some serious motivation!

Hi I'm Lauren,
I joined MFP about a year ago but a ton has happened in the last year. I left two jobs for my career in a new town, got engaged, was diagnosed with compartment syndrome and had a fasciotomy in November, lots of nights out drinking, lots of fast food trips and well I just feel like I need to start over.
Because of my surgery (and the fact that it didn't really help) I can't do too many high profile workouts. Normally I just stick to walking and yoga but I am looking for some more stuff I can do without putting too much stress on my legs. Recently I've discovered my love for the rowing machine!
Anyway, I have had a lot of issues with motivation. I'm largely in need of more motivational friends and I promise I will reciprocate! I'm getting married June 28th, 2014 and I want to be WAY closer to my goal of 150-160 by then instead of currently sitting at 220-230.
Please add me as a friend!
