New to the community looking for motivation!

I've been using MFP for awhile and have been conscious of my fitness and nutritional goals for even longer. This is my first time connecting with the community though. I've gotten so busy (aka stressed out of my mind haha) with finishing college and finding a job, I'm lacking the motivation to get in the gym or to even eat healthy lately. Always finding those easy excuses. Just thought I'd reach out and see if anyone else has some motivational words or similar stories of stressful times. I'm really just looking for a kick in the butt from an outside source haha. The independent drive isn't there right now.
And I can return the favor! I'm also here for anyone needing advice on nutrition or fitness as it has been part of my life for the past 10 years or so, I know a little something..

    Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it. I keep myself motivated by setting new goals when I’ve reached one. I use to weigh 350lbs now I am at 180lbs still pushing hard so I can totally relate. So keep on pushing yourself. If you need an extra buddy feel free to add me :)
