Need Support

Hi all,
This is my second MFP account - I was very active here from around March - July 2012 and I "fell off the wagon" because of a new job, moving and a few other life changes. I closed that account and opened this one as a fresh start a few months ago, but it didn't get anywhere. I need support.
I have had to buy new clothing for work and recreation, I have felt slowed down, depressed and not motivated to do anything at all.
I have lost a few pounds over the past few months, going from 215 (my max weight - a lot for a guy of a little under 5'7") to 209 and I just need to get this weight off. For some reason I don't seem to get the motivation that I should from those around me, even when they are trying! I take personal offense to suggestions, comments and discussions when I have no real reason to.
I have always fluctuated and I am not sure how to kill the skinny/fat cycle. I have had success here tracking daily last year, but I am going to try tracking daily and monthly this time to see if that helps. Either way, I need help staying active here, logging when I may not feel like it, getting to bed early so that I can get up early and work out before I go to work (if I don't do it then, it won't happen) and eating healthy.
What I am asking for are some friendships. Two-way motivation. Encouraging each other to get to our goals and not slack. Encouraging each other to stick it out when we have an "off-weekend" (or week, or two weeks) and get each other back on here.
Add me if you are interested. I know that this can't be done with hundreds of friends, I am in need of a few, solid, accountable partners to get fit with!
