Need motivation and support; a partner in crime :-)

Hello everyone!
My name is Jessica and I really need to lose some weight. Clearly, that is the reason we are all here. I am mother to two very sweet little girls. My oldest will be 3 in July and my youngest, I just had on April 7. I didn't gain a lot of weight with my pregnancy, but I was overweight to begin with. I want to be healthy for them and for me. I have a husband who says he wants to lose weight and then gets upset when I want to make something healthy instead of hamburgers...or something else less healthy.

I have a membership to a gym and I go periodically, but I feel alone in my quest to lose weight and thus lack the motivation I need to actually do the work. I need support and a buddy to help me reach my weight loss goals. Ideally, I would like to lose 35-40 pounds this year. I am hoping that this board will help me reach my goals! Good luck to everyone!
