New to forum life but have been on MFP for awhile

I have been around MFP for awhile just tracking my own stuff. Never really went to the community section much. I am biting the bullet and posting my introduction. I have been overweight since I was 6 years old. At my heaviest I was 325 pounds at 18 years old. I lost 125 pounds and felt so good about myself. Got married and life changed. Started gaining weight back and had a son. Got back to 264 pounds last year and decided it was time to change. I have lost 54 pounds by diet and exercise in the last 12 months. It hasn't been easy at all. I love to eat. I really have no support system. I have tried to get my husband on board but he doesn't like working out or eating healthy. I have tried getting family/friends to go work out with me and it all is a bust. I have no one pushing me to eat right or help keep me motivated to eat right. The working out part I have down. My husband jokes that the treadmill is my boyfriend. If I am not at work, you will find me at the gym. I never in a million years would have thought the words "love" and "gym" would ever come out of my mouth in the same sentence in regards to myself :smile:

So I am looking for friends that will help keep me motivated to eat right and make good food choices.
