17 Yr Old'Story and Now In Dire Need of Motivation Again

Where do I start. I'm 17 and I have lost 70 pounds. I the past two(going on three) years, I went down from 228 to 158. My goal is to lose 100 pounds so here I am basically at the home stretch. I have until October 4th for my cousin's wedding.

*Please hear me out, I've never really had a chance to 'tell' my story so here it goes.*

Ever since I could manage to put food in my mouth by myself, I've been obese. In every picture I have of myself as a youngster, I've had no neck. Of course once I entered school, the bullying and picking on seemed endless. I endured it all until I began to lose friends and I was a big loner. I reached a very depressed stage at the ridiculous age of 13 and I attempted suicide. Luckily for me, I survived. After that whole incident, I had a cousin, Edgar, ask me if I wanted to start lifting weights with him. It was the best decision I had made in my life at that point. So I began to weighlift with him. He's the type of guy you can never EVER say no to so I had to just suck up the laziness. Some pounds started shedding off, and we started to do more workouts. In 'Year One', we went from just plain bulking to circuit training, back to bulking, then to working on cardio. In 'Year Two', I did the unthinkable, I joined my high school's Track team. I was a thrower though but still, the thought of me joining a sport would have made any of my friends and family laugh. I got ridiculously strong but had a knee injury take me out for this year's season. Anywho, so after last spring's season, I moved in with my aunt and cousin and his girlfriend for the summer. *Surround yourself with only positive influences; it's key.* I was at a plateau at 194 lbs. My cousin and I began to go to our local forest preserve to run about 3x a week. Running was the last thing I wanted to do at that point but thanks to my intimidating cousin, I pushed through it. The trail was 1.8 miles and around the first month, I would always have to take 2 walking breaks..but then the breaks went from 1, to none at all. The greatest accomplishment that summer was being able to run a whole lap without stopping. About 3 weeks before my junior year in high school began, my cousin's girlfriend, Natalie, suggested myfitnesspal. So I began to track my calories and became obsessed with it, obviously for the better. I could never go a meal without tracking them. This website has helped me lost the last almost 40 lbs since August of '12. I think with the combination of the holidays and a recurring hip pain, I lost my 'groove'. I stopped counting calories and stopped working out. Not only that, but Edgar and Natalie, the two biggest and only influences I had, moved into their own place an hour away.(They went from being a 5 minute drive away to over an hour). I had no more workout partners. So that brings me to where I am right now at 158. I occasionally jump on the treadmill with full energy but this is only like once or twice a week. I have no more hip or knee pain so there's no more excuses for me. My cousin was like a hawk on me, watching my every move and making sure I didn't eat garbage or not workout. I think I just need friends to help me out now, kinda 'yell' at me. I won't even bother to find friends like that at school, because how many kids my damn age have even attempted to do what I have done?! I've grown beyond the immature 'high school' attitude and style. So I look here, for serious people who are working on the same thing I am, creating a better life for myself. I think that if I actually had friends on here, it would make me actually work hard, knowing that other people can see whether I've tracked my calories or even worked out. So I ask you kind folk who have taken the time to read this, help me out. Actually, let's help each other out to reach our goals.
