Need friends with same goal for motivation

After gaining back what I had lost over the last two years I am now determined to lose it again. My goal is to lose it by the Spring/Summer season so I can feel comfortable doing all the outdoor activites that we do such as float trips and going to the lake. I want to buy a new bathing suit, two piece, and look absolutely hot in it next year.

I am 47 going to be 48 in the summer. I have always been a pretty healthy and active person and have been blessed with looking much younger than I am. My husband who is quite a bit younger than me doesn't have to watch what he eats, doesn't really exercise, though he is active by doing outdoor things, and loved the fact that I wasn't one of those girls who had to watch what she ate when we first met. Well, I was doing the gym, exercise classes, bike riding, hiking, etc. when we first met so yes, I could eat pretty much what I wanted and not gain anything. Over the course of us dating, I lost alot of "my activites" and replaced them with his activities. He competes riding motorcycles so we travel and camp alot, in fact the last two months we traveled and camped every weekend. I love being involved and traveling with him so that is not something I want to change but what I do need to change is getting back to my workouts when we are home during the week and I need to start watching my calorie intake, at least until I get back to a healthy weight.

I would like friends who are having some of the same issues so we can help each other stay motivated. I don't do any diet programs, unless you consider the Jay Robb Fat Burning Diet a diet. Which I don't, I consider it a healthy way of eating. Basically, it is a low carb, high protein, all natural, no preservatives, diet. I lost a bunch of weight on the program about 4 years ago and didn't feel deprived or like I was on a diet. It does not take any extra money to follow, except that you can spend extra money on food as you are eating healthy and natural foods and I did have to go to a health food store to get some of the foods I was eating.

I have started taking a personal training class three nights a week and we have joined a gym and I am trying to get back to the gym to do some cardio on the nights I don't do my class.

Anyone interested in buddying up?
