Search for Encouragement and Motivation

I am not what you would consider new to MyFitnessPal, more so of a returner. I joined back in September 2010 and did everything through an app on my smartphone so I am new to the actual website. While I was using the daily log I would see the progress, since then I've gained the weight I lost plus some. Its like everytime I start to loss weight I'm always invited to go to events that have great food.

My main reason for posting in the forum is to search for friends that will help and encourage me to stay on my weight loss journey. Most of my friends are in shape and they don't diet. They just have the metabolism that allows them to eat whatever and still remain a size 6 and under.

So if there is anyone out there in the same boat as me, feel free to become a helpful friend.
