Looking for motivation...

Options
Hi, I've been on and off MFP for years (since 2008) and I finally have every reason in the world to make it work this time. I would, however, love to find some friends on here to motivate and push me.

I've got over 50 pounds to lose and I've just started the gym for the first time last week. My goals are to:

* lose enough so that I feel comfortable in my skin and can shop anywhere
* go to the gym at least 3x a week
* be fit enough to run a half marathon with my dad
* fit into a fantastic wedding dress this August.

If there is someone (or many) out there who are looking to add some friends and are good at motivating (and giving me a push when I need it) please add me and I'll be sure to motivate and push right back!! :)
