New and Looking for People to Help Me Stay Motivated

I just signed on to My Fitness Pal this Monday. I am resolved to finally take control of my eating and exercise habits. My weight has always gone up and down and although I am not starting this time at my highest I am still not happy where I am. My highest was during my pregnancy at 203. After I had my daughter I quickly dropped to 158, but when I went back to work I gained 12 pounds in 5 months! I was also diagnosed with impaired gestational diabetes while pregnant so this is something I really need to take control of. It is more than just looking great and fitting into sexy clothes. I want to be healthy for my daughter and lead by example. I never want weight to be something she struggles with.

So, if anybody would like to help motivate me on my journey to becoming healthy, please add me as a friend and hopefully we can motivate and inspire each other!
