Accountability partner anyone?

Hi! I've been trying to loose weight for most of my life, but have been met by failure.
Last year, I was a size 6-8. And that may seem small, and normally it is, but I am short, and that puts me on a BMI of overweight. I was just borderline obese then. I bought a pair of size 2 "diva" pants and told myself that I would fit into those pants as an affirmation that I would be under normal BMI rather than over weight.
Flash forward a year and I am now a size 8-10, with a BMI categorized as obese. The pants are still in my cabinet, hidden deep under baggy shirts and garter skirts.
I don't like it, not at all.
So I'm here on this site (again), ad maybe if I get an accountability partner it will be more effective. Keep each other motivated :) I fished out those pants again, and set them atop my things, and a pair of shorts I was comfortable enough to wear last year. It's not just about loosing weight, it's about feeling good that I did.
Let's loose weigh together!

Note: Size 2 is small, and size 6-8 is normal. But I'm short. I look like a big round pudgy ball. So please don't assume that I just want to be a size 2 for the sake of being a size 2.
