Need friends - losing my motivation!

Hi everyone. I'm here because I'm struggling a little bit and need some solid motivation.
I've successfully lost weight in the past and I managed to keep those pounds off for several years. Then... I turned 21 and got out of a (really) bad relationship and developed a taste for craft beer, which I still really like. The pounds came back slowly and I'm now back at a weight that is really not OK with me.
I joined a gym and quit smoking back in November. It was going really well for the first one and a half months but once the holidays (and finals) came around, I just got wrapped up with too many things and ate too much and found myself right back where I started.
I'm struggling with getting motivation - I'm not afraid of the gym and I really do enjoy the feeling of being active and working out, but it's getting harder for me to focus on watching my calories and making myself go to the gym. I'm desperate to lose some weight and get in control of myself again, but I feel like I'm lacking support. The only other person who gives me support is my boyfriend, and he's also quite busy and we both kind of feed off of each other's lack of motivation when it comes to going to the gym.
I guess what I'm asking for on here is more friends! I need people to help keep me in check, and I will promise to do the same for them! Please, feel free to add me. Let's all help each other out!
