Not new... but looking for a bit of support

Ok so a little about me, I had to have surgery on July 29th and after not looking at a scale for a while had to because they ask your weight for anesthesia.... I was SHOCKED! I knew I was overweight and needed to lose but still, over 200? I was 207.8 and at 5'1" that's defiantly not good. I was depressed because of the surgery and now seriously depressed because of my weight, and needed to do something now. After surgery I started slowly making changes and lost 8 pounds on my own, a friend at work told me about MFP and how easy it was to use so I started it! It was easy and the weight came off better then when I was on Weight Watchers 10 years ago. I had to have another surgery in October and my doctor was impressed that I was down 26 pounds already.
I have started to really LOVE exercising and am looking to change my constant cardio up with some strength and yoga. From someone who seriously hated to exercise to someone who does it without thinking now every morning (take Sundays off).
I have 35 1/2 more to lose, and I'm losing consistently, but I'm doing it all alone. My sister is going through some rough things right now and has stopped wanting to hear about the weight loss.... I hate asking for support, makes me feel weak, but I would love some and defiantly would give my fair share!
Edit for my grammatically/spelling incorrect self. =S
