Looking For A Weight Loss Buddy

Hi There,
I am looking for someone who would like to partner up and keep each other accountable during our weight loss journey.
A little about me... I have been overweight my entire life, and have tried dieting off and on for years to no avail. I always end up gaining any amount of weight I have lost back and then some. It's discouraging, to say the least. Recently, some things in my life have prompted me to finally make a change - and I want...need... to see it through this time. To do that, I am going to need some help.
I am hoping to find one or two people who are willing to email or text each day to keep each other accountable and encourage each other. I am not looking for judgement or harsh words. I only hope to find someone else who is struggling with the same things I am, and maybe if we help each other we can reach our goals.
If you are interested, please message me. I am excited to hear from you.

Hi,
I am also looking for a weight loss buddy for motivation and inspiration.
A little bit about me: My weight issues started during college when I was no longer playing 3 sports/year and started to indulge in the college diet. Over a 10 year period, gained 40-50 lbs. In between, I have had periods where I worked out and ate well and lost 10 -15 lbs but was never able to sustain the weight loss. This time I am serious. i want to make it a change for a lifetime.
I am also very busy as I am a medical resident and my hours are very tough. My job involves me to be on my feet the whole day but I tend to eat bad food because often times, I don't have time to plan my meals.
Thanks

I'll help! I am good about coming on each day (though not usually until the evenings) but I am known to message my friends who haven't logged on in a few days, if they need it!

Exactly what I am looking for too.
I have struggled with my weight the past 7-ish years but really done nothing about it except be unhappy. I never worried about weight until living in Alaska where the pounds seem to appear out of nowhere and won't budge.
I am trying to lose about 15-20 pounds0 -
