Bust your butt?

I am looking for other people who are interested in busting their butts to lose weight fast. I am going to be in a wedding end of March, and would like to drop about 75 lbs by then. I would be happy with 50 or 60, and my goal really is to drop 105 within the next year.
My problem is that I get sidetracked. I get home and take care of my husband and son, clean, cook, etc. and I forget to workout. Suddently its 10pm and I should have been in bed for an hour, but I still have stuff to do - working out gets pushed to the side. Then I plan on getting up early in the morning to work out, but I see my hubby so cute cuddled in bed and I just want to cuddle up right next to him.
I know I should hold myself accountable for being too lazy to get my butt out of bed in the morning, but it just isn't working. So...my thought was to find someone equally motivated for whatever reason and we can nag each other. I'm not talking any cutsie messages like "keep going, you will get there"...but more along the lines of downright blunt messages such as "get your butt up...quit being lazy" or maybe even a competition.
And don't worry...I'm not going for unhealthy...I don't want anyone to over do it. I firmly believe in listening to your own body and knowing it's limits. I don't want someone to offer to be a buddy, then hurt themselves. I am just looking for people who honestly want to work out for 1-2 hours a day to get to where they want to be. No more excuses!

Unfortuanately I can't join you on the excercise.
Hi There - I admire your spunk though and hope you will continue your great drive to lose weight. You should definitely get to your goal if you keep that up. I also work out about 1 hr and 30 min a day. I haven't been able to this week due to car problems. But, like you I need to bust my butt for sure! I have been way off track today and hope to get it back on track immediately! I don't think I would make a good buddy for you because I think I'm too nice. I don't think I could say it like it is, ya know? I would be scared I would hurt your feelings or you would take offense. It's just not my nature. But, I wish you luck in finding someone who will do that for you. Good luck in your weightloss journey and keep it up girl!!!
Take Care,

Hello there.. I admire how you're ready to go out and kick butt like that.. And I really think your goal is attainable.. it's around 8-10 lbs a month which boils it down to 2lbs a week.. and even if you can't get that every week you can still lose the 50-60 lbs you'd like to lose.
I know what you mean about getting sidetracked.. I'm a working mom myself and between work, maintaining the house, cooking, and trying to spend some time with my ds & dh, you just find yourself slipping through the cracks. I really like your take at things.. my only problem is I can't workout for 1-2 hours a day... I am more into short intense workouts.. like cycling 20 minutes @19mph. I don't want to be holding you back though because I cannot commit to 1-2 hrs a day.. otherwise I"m all for a good competition.. your decision
