Need weight lost buddy

I'm looking for a weight loss buddy.  I don't care how hard I have to work I plan on losing 40 to 50lbs by June 15, 2011.  If I could just kick this addiction to soda I could lose a couple of pounds a week, according to my physician.  I'm looking for someone who wants to work super hard so we can lose our unwanted pounds.  
I'm also a good listener and a good friend so let me know if you want to be weight loss partners and friends.
