Ready to get off this roller coaster ! Help!

Options
I am 38 and my weight has been up and down since my twenties. In the past, I've gained and lost the same 20 pounds over and over again. Now, I'm about 70 to 80 pounds overweight. When I look in the mirror, I don't see the person I want to be. I weighed in this morning for my work's Biggest Loser Contest and the number that I saw staring back at me on the scale almost brought me to tears. (Since I was at work, I managed to keep it together.)

I am looking for someone to be my accountability partner. I think it would be easier to be in this together. I need someone that will check on me, cheer me on, and tell me to put my big girl panties on if I need it and I can do the same for them.

    Add me as a friend. I am on this roller coaster too ... I am starting over after reaching my goal a year ago and now having gained back 25 of those pounds. I don't want to end up where I started. If we push each other, we can fit back into our favorite jeans before we know it...
