Need support if I am going to succeed!

Hi all, I am Christin. A friend told me about this site and I made an account 2 weeks ago but haven't quite stuck to it. I am 5 ft 7 in and currently weigh in at 219.2 lbs! I am 30 years old and have 3 boys under the age of 11. I have slowly gained over 70 lbs since having my last son almost 8 years ago. With a strict diet and daily walks, I was able to keep my weight between 190-200 lbs. However, when my mom moved in a few months ago, I've been extra stressed (on top of that getting my BS Degree in 2 weeks), and have not worked out since June. My son took a video of me sitting at my desk yesterday and it nearly broke my heart in two when I saw myself! I decided I have to put in the work or I will just get bigger and bigger. My entire family is very overweight so they are not understanding and supportive of what I do. My husband is very in shape (firefighter) and I feel like he is supportive but cannot relate to what I am going through. I NEED to lose this weight once and for all. Through a lot of hard work, changing habits, staying active and prayer I know that I can do this. Please, I need other people who can motivate me and encourage me and I will do the same for you! I tend to be a shy person so this is taking a huge leap for me!
