Looking for some motivation buddies!

I weigh 141 lbs. At my heaviest, I weighed around 150 and at my lightest I weight 136. I know that I'm a relatively normal weight and that I'm 'lucky' for only having a little bit of weight to lose, but I'm just trying to look and feel my healthiest. For me, this is about developing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle so that I'm equipped to raise a healthy family (when I start one) and live as long and as happily as possible.

I'm 20 years old and I've been dieting on and off since I was about 16 (when I first started to feel unhealthy). Through my years of yo-yo dieting, I have become an expert on calories, working out, and the natural cycle of motivation. When I resolve to really lose the weight this time (again), I feel unstoppable, but as I go through the daily routines of eating and working out, I feel deprived, frustrated, angry, and I usually turn back to food and laziness.

I need support. It is SO frustrating to only have 15 pounds lose and I just CAN'T make it happen because I always give up. I'm hoping to find others who are in similar situations. Let's hold each other accountable and finally lose those last 10-15 pounds and develop PERMANENT habits to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle.

If I can find some other people who are interested in joining me on this journey, I've started a facebook group called '16 lbs. To Go' and I've been posting pics, my daily food diary, articles, etc. to try and hold myself accountable. Currently, only myself and my boyfriend are members of the group but I would love to have some more people to add and really share EVERYTHING with each other and hold each other accountable. My boyfriend is loving and supportive, but he's also 6' 1", 145 pounds, a runner, and eats whatever the hell he wants....so he can't really sympathize too well. -____-
