Need Accountability Partners PLEASE!

I am a 39 year-old woman who is in desperate need of accountability partners. I have many friends who say they want to get healthier, lose weight, exercise more, etc and when I ask them if we can be accountable to each other they say "sure" but it ends up I am the only one contacting them to hold them accountable but not the other way around. I understand they are just not ready to make changes but I am so I am taking my request to the web!
A little about me. I am single, have had struggles with my weight, motivation, healthy eating, etc for most of my life. I want to change but I quickly run out of steam when trying to make changes on my own. Twice I have lost a rather significant amount of weight but have gained it back. Right now I need to lose about 65 pounds.
What I am looking for in partners:
- Someone to tell my daily plan to and follow up to see how I did.
- Someone I can contact when I am having a weak moment (eating something not so good for me, not wanting to workout or feeling an emotion that often leads to me giving up (excessive stress, loneliness, anger, etc).
- Someone to bounce ideas off of and/or ask for advice on issues.
Of course, I would do the same.
Thanks,
Char

Hi, i need you! I am 33 years old with a toddler in tow. 180 ib 5 3. I have been battling weight loss since i was 16. My wieght was the highest 150. During pregnancy i gained a lot. I need to lose more than 30 lb to start. My greatest weakness is not being consistent with any goal. always give up too soon. I am also an emotional eater.i hate exercise.So you really need to push me to complete my goal everyday. how do we contact with each other? whats your goal?0
