Hey there,

I lost a bunch of weight using MFP about a year ago, then I moved cross country and gained it all back, plus some due to stress and lack of stability in living arrangements (I'm a compulsive binge eater and I relapsed, hard). I've got ~30 lbs to lose now, and would love to have new buddies who want to commit to a 6-8 month cut with me, since I'm assuming that's about how long it will take for me to get back to where I was. Anyone else have similar goals or time frame to reach their goals? I'm especially looking for people who will bug me if I try and drop out :)
