23 year old looking for a weight loss buddy!

Hi all,
I am looking for a motivation buddy to keep each other on track!
A bit about myself - I am 23 years old, 5'4, and currently weight about 172 lbs. My highest weight was 196 and I would like to be around 130. I am currently living abroad for a year and will be returning back to the states after my contract ends in June. I want to wow my friends and family (and myself) when I go home!
I would love to find someone who is equally committed and wants to share weekly weigh-ins, as well as frequent motivation and discussion.
If anyone is interested, please feel free to add me!
Have a great day!
P.S. I realize my username is a bit odd - it comes from the saying "light a candle instead of cursing the darkness." i.e. don't complain about it, do something to fix it. MFP is how I am going to fix it!

Hey, I am 24, 132 lb and 5.1"! I have just started exercising. Will love to share my weight loss journey with someone. Although my culture is kind of different since I am from Asia. Well, you know it's really hard to avoid RICE and curry.0
