Keeping motivated and looking for friends to help along the

Hello all,
I'm sorta new to mfP, but not really...here's my story. I'm 31yrs old, nurse, married, mother of 2. I had my second child October 2009, gained 75lbs, my last weight 2days before giving birth was 245!! I had never been over 200lbs, so this really didn't sit too well with me. I was really determined to get the weight off, I thought breastfeeding and light excercise ( I had a c-section couldn't workout too hard) would do the trick, and it worked somewhat by Jan 2010 I was down to 223lbs. I reached a plateau and became depressed. I would lose 1-2lbs and gain it back. So I then decided to try 6week body makeover. I stuck with this for about 3 weeks, and lost 10lbs, but it was waaay to strict, no salt, no sugar, I was going crazy. Then a friend recommend MFP app for my phone, I started tracking my calories, bought a heart monitor, tracked my workouts etc, and they weight started coming off at a steady pace. Once I was within 8lbs of my pre-preganancy weight I stopped, I became comfortable but still didn't like how I felt or what I saw in the mirror. My body had changed so much with my second child and I didn't like it. So I'm back on the MFP wagon, but this time I decided to start coming to the community chat boards for inspiration, and motivation. So here I am, and I'm hooked! You guys are so supportive and informing and it's great! BTW I will post pics asap, so there's a face to go with the name!
