Need some myfitnesspals!

I was using this site a few months ago, and stopped even though it was working well to hold me accountable (I lost 15 pounds, but refuse to weigh myself today as I rejoin, but might make my new starting weight tomorrow). I need to reach out to find a small community of people to stay connected on here. I really enjoyed using the website, but because I hadn't gotten enough "real life" friends to join, I didn't feel compelled to log on. I am looking for pals with similar goals to share struggles/success/stories with and to keep me logging on!
I am an almost 30 stay at home mom to two little boys trying to lose the last approximately 40-50 pounds of what I call "baby weight", but is really just weight that I put on that won't go away, being as how my youngest is 18 months old already. I am interested in starting a workout routine, but tend to get side-tracked. I actually love exercising, but it is much more difficult with the extra weight and I tend to get discouraged as I sweat and huff and puff my way through working out. i have never been super thin, and my overall goal is just to be at a healthy and maintainable realistic weight for myself. I would be comfortable in a size 10, rather than the 16/18 i tend to wear now.
So, if you think you have some encouragement to offer, I need some pals!

I would be happy to be your pal...Doing this can be tough and it is always good to have people to back you up. I have lost 35 pounds in the past few months and still want to lose another 15...So if you want, let me know and we can work on this together

I'm a mother of three, I work full-time and I do in-home parties on the weekends plus manage a team. I'm a wife of 10 years and we own a home in the country.
Life is busy and I have to lose 75+ pounds because I want to live a long healthy life with my husband and children. I often get sidetracked and fall off the wagon so I totally get the needing some help and someone to hold me accountable.
