Looking for some buddies!

Hi, everyone! I have been on MFP for awhile now, but I have just begun utilizing the message boards. I have found them inspiring and helpful, and I would love to have some buddies to go on this weight loss journey with.

Let me introduce myself.

My name is Marie, and I am 26. I teach middle school history (which I love!). I have been married for 6 years to a wonderful, supportive man who has never called me fat. We have two beautiful little boys, who are 4 and 2 who I want to be healthy for the rest of my life. My husband and I have been together since I was 17 and just 125 pounds. I put on about 90 pounds over the years. I have gotten serious a few times about losing it, but then something would happen that would unmotivate me. The last event was the death of my mother, which put an extra 30 pounds on me. I'm happy to say that I've lost that 30 pounds in the past 4 months, and now I have another 53 pounds to get back to 125. However, ideally, I would like to get lower, down to 115. I am just 5'0, so 125 is on the heavy side of my ideal weight range. I would love to lose it all by the end of the year, and I have done everything I can to make that a reality. I work out consistently at the gym and even hired a personal trainer who I see once a week. There will be no more excuses for me, and I would love to find some MFP friends who feel the same way.
