Single mother trying to inspire her lil ones

Hello All
My name is Monica. I had decided to join fitness pal because I have decided to take control back of my own life. This year has certainly been a crazy and dramatic one for me. I let go of some things and someone's that were not healthy for me menatlly emotionally and financially. I'm showing my kids ( I have 3) that no matter what happens to you in life you have to keep fighting for what you want. So my goal is to lose 150 pounds in a year. I would love to have friends that motivate and inspire, but especially light that fire under my butt if they see I'm falling behind.
