Looking For Friends/Support

Hey Everyone!
I'm looking for friends to help support and motivate me. I tend to fall off the wagon... a lot... It would be really awesome to have some people on my thread around the same height/weight as me. I'm hoping watching someone similar will help keep me motivated.

For a while I was using MFP every day and actually had pretty good success. I lost 21 lbs. Although not many people seemed to notice, I was still feeling better about myself. One day I just woke up and stopped, I'm not really sure of the reason. I was having trouble losing and was stuck. I don't like to exercise and have some (undiagnosed) issues that hold me back from being active. Really bad poping hips, ankles, knees, elbows. Just in general a lot of joint pain that I can't seem to bear very well. Also the stress of always trying to plan thought out meals when I'm so used to just pulling in a Wendy's drive thru was getting to me. For a while it was fun, planning, shopping, and cooking... then it just became a hassle. Anyways, I've been on and off again for a few months and gained 5 lbs back. :( I want to make a return and stick with it this time. My mother is coming to visit me for the first time in almost 4 years and although I won't be able to lose very much (in a healthy manner) by then, it would still be awesome to see another 10 lbs loss on top of the --almost-- 20 I've managed to maintain.

Height: 5'2
Starting weight: 217
Current weight: 199

I did manage to get down to 195 before I quit, that lasted probably all of a day, but really need to nip this before I hit the 200's again. :)

    Thanks for the add! I'm actually from MO too. I live in WA now but grew up in MO so that's kinda neat. :)
