Hey Embera,

Im much in the same boat as you, in alot of respects, and would love to be each others accountability partner if your game... I'm 31 years old, 5'9" and weight 300 pounds... Ive always been overweight, but this is about the highest I've ever been. I've been on MFP before, and it worked, I've lost 30+ pounds pretty easily here, so Im begging, pleading, hoping, and needing for it to work again, for my own happiness, sanity, and health...

I lost my job back in September, in which I fell off the bandwagon and get all of that weight back, and I too now live with (and take care of) my parents, so food choices are pretty much out of my control around dinner time... I've REALLY been looking for a "Biggest Loser" style competition to join in on, particularly a team based one... And If I dont find one I might just make one [which might also give me a commitment to stick with it...

I really need someone to watch me, make sure Im reporting, and while slips will happen, I need someone to help me get back "on the horse" so to speak when they do...

If your interested let me know... and if you find a competition, also, please, let me know...

i would need to clear it with my feionce he gets pretty jealous but i agree i need some one to help push me and challenge me ive fallen off a few times before mostly in frustration in my lac of control so perhaps we could talk more about challenges to use

And we all have our moments of weakness/lack-of-control, its what makes us human... For me, eating is my vice; its how i cope with life, stress, and how I enjoy life when its otherwise ****ty... I dont do drugs, I dont drink too much... Food is my drug... But, what matters is that we get back on; and understand that we are human and not beat ourselves up too much over our mistakes...

If you ALWAYS get back on... then its no longer a matter of "if" youll get there, just a matter of "when"...

As for the competition I decided to make my own... so far we have 8 people, Im hoping to get another 4-8 so we can have 3 teams instead of 2 But we'll see...
