OK. I’m going to make this as short and to the point as I can.

Here’s my deal…

I woke up this morning and made a promise to myself that I would not create any more excuses. So, I have made a commitment to lose 50 lbs, no matter what. This is not up for discussion any more. I have lost a lot of joy and I know for a fact that it has almost everything to do with me no longer loving myself. SO….since I lost a lot of weight using myfitnesspal before, I am very aware of the family that is on this site and their abilities to keep a person motivated, hold them accountable, and keep them from losing their minds…

I am desperately looking for some people that will not just hold me accountable, but virtually kick my butt if I try to quit. This is very important and I am begging any of you out there that know they have what I need to stay focused….please please please…talk to me. I need some friends…I need some people to stick with me and talk to me daily to help me prove to myself that I am bigger than this stupid vicious cycle I have created for myself. I know I can do it. I know I can stick with it…I just also know that I need some friends to talk to and keep it fun and to keep me from making more excuses.

If any of you out there are looking for a buddy, or if any of you out there feel that they could help me. I would be so insanely grateful. I’m at my wits end…I’m desperate to get help…and I’m not afraid to admit it!!!

    Good way to start the morning, I will help you, I will talk to you, I will even kick your butt but I don't think you will need the last, just stay focused on your decision and your goal to lose, you of all people know you can do this!!! Let's get started. I will need some encouragement as well from time to time so its always good to have friends.

    YAY!!! I'm so thankful to all of you for your help!!! I knew the MFP family would pull through for me! I hope I get to know all of you very well and together we can kick my butt!..I mean...we can lose weight! lol. :laugh:

    This is the one area in my life I seem to have absolutely no control of, so I need all the help I can get. I am looking forward to getting to know you guys. I'm excited!

    I hope I can be a great help to you all too...I think having someone to talk to can make all the difference...at least that is the way it is with me :smile:
