Looking for a friend, Looking to motivate each other to lose and keep this weight OFF

I'm going to be 60 in a month. I am 195 and want to get back to 160 - I'm not in a big rush, I want to find a friend (female) to get to know and be REAL about our eating, and just our life because lets face it, we use food even when we don't realize or we'll just give in because a stress may be too much - (we have many excuses) but if I have that one person like I use to (she passed 4 yrs ago) and slowly put on this weight. I don't think that we should be doing this alone (or at least I know I don't want that) - if you're out there, please email me on this site and we can help each other out no matter where you're at but I'm really wanting to lose this weight and keep it off again! I'm sick of trying to get motivated on my own! thanks, Yana
