Looking for others to keep me accountable!

I'm new to the idea of social networking combined with dieting/lifestyle change, and I think this may be what I finally need to get over the hurdle and keep me accountable.

Right now, I'm just telling everyone I know about the myfitnesspal app (it's seriously like having a trainer in my pocket) but I would ideally like to find some friends to help keep me accountable.

My entire life I've been heavy. I was 180 pounds by the time I graduated high school, and I was 300 pounds by the time I had my son. I lost 50 pounds 2 years ago, and have only put 10 of it back on. Part of my problem is that I consistantly do not consume ENOUGH calories. I know that sounds silly, coming from a heavy girl, but the app even confirms it... yesterday alone I was at a negative 700 calories based on a 1310 calorie diet!

I'm looking to change my life... and am looking for people who are doing the same. Let's do this together!
