New to community, but not to MyNetDiary Topic

My name is Crystal. I'm the mother to 2 daugthers, Lilly is 3.5 & Kynlee is 1.5. I'm married & 30 years old. We plan on having at least one more child.
I've used MyNetDiary for over a year now (or something else very similar). But, I just found the website & community! I have lost about 20 pounds this past year. My goal is to lose 19 more by July 1st, 2011. This is the only way I have ever been able to lose steadily & keep it off. It is so easy! I can't believe I can't convince others to do it too. But, that's another story.
My reason for wanting to lose weight is just to be healthy & happy. But, I am in a "biggest loser" competition to win some cash. so, I have a deadline & some motivation!
As a child, I was always thin. It wasn't until college that I gained probably 50 pounds. I finally got it off before I met my husband. But, once we got married & our lifestyles changed, I started to put the weight back on. I tried Nutrisystem, which worked great for me. But, it was hard for me to stay on it since I found the food disgusting. I kept the weight off though (mostly), until I decided to try to get pregnant w/ our first baby. I chose to let myself go thinking I was doomed to get fat when I got pregnant. But, it took me 18 months to get pregnant. So, by the time I did, I was overweight again! At the time I delivered, I was just under 200 pounds. I got down to almost 150 at the time I got pg again. Since her birth, I have worked very hard to get the weight off, which was very hard to do. But, I am back down to 144 as of today!
My ultimate goal is to get back down to 125, which was my high school weight (10 pounds less than when I met my husband.)
I am looking for a group to share my victories with. I used to post on facebook, but since all of my competition is on there & they aren't sharing their weight, I don't want to motivate them w/ my success! I want to win! ;)

Hey Crystal. Good to hear from you. Im 33 and want been on mynetdiary also for a year but keep slipping. I struggle with motivation and really need a community to keep me on track. I am excited about new year, new me. I don't have lots left to lose, but the final pounds prove so hard! Good you could join us :-) My name is Abi

Hi Abi & Crystal...I just joined, are you both still on here? How are you doing? Any tips for a newbie.
I worked with a PT last year and lost 50lbs, but he moved away and I cant afford another one, so I need to work and lose the remaining 20 - 25 lbs myself.
I'm married, 39 years old and have no children.
