looking for positive motvated people!!

I am relatively new here, and I am looking for positive people that are motivated to make a change in their lifestyles. Here is my story....

My name is Brigit. I am 5'1" and currently weigh 192. I am looking to drop about 40 pounds. I have been as low as 143 pounds 2 years ago, when I was going through a divorce, and I don't think I look good at anything less than 150. I am Pear shaped with a good size butt, and I am happiest when I still have some curves. There is a difference between rolls and curves though, lol. I am looking to get more fit, as I am the mom to a beautiful 9 year old daughter. I want to be a positive example of healthy living for her. I work full time as a nurse, and I am currently back in school to further my education. I am engaged to a wonderful man, who loves me for me, and is nothing but supportive of my lifestyle changes, but he is naturally tall and thin. I think it's hard for someone who has never had a weight problem to truly understand the challenges I face on a daily basis. I really enjoy meeting new people, as I think we all have things we can share with each other. I have an open diary for my friends, and I hide nothing, I'm a real sugar feind. I am a reformed Diet Coke addicted, I have been clean from that for 2 months now. I am looking for positive, motivated people to be friends with!!
