Hi...looking for supportive friends

I've been at this for over a year. I make progress and I'm highly motivated for a while and then I revert back to my old ways. People around me encourage me to love me just as I am and not stress losing weight. I just need friends to help motivate me. I was 169lbs in my early 20's and now 3 kids and years later my habits have me at 262. It hinders my self esteem daily. I've been back at it again and praying this time I make it to my goal (-97lbs).
