Yes, I know I have been away for a long time, but still working towards 150. I can't guarantee how often I will be able to post, but I think I could use some encouragement from time to time.
I lost 42 lbs last year which is by far the most I had lost in a long time. Right before the holidays things became hectic and I put on a few more. Although for the most part I am maintaining and not just gaining with no end in sight. I left me ticker the same hoping that I could get back to it quickly, but I think that I really need to change it to reflect the gain and start over.
Water has been horrible and I have been doing alot of stress eating lately. We are opening a new store at the end of the month and it has created a lot of stress for me. Not between myself and DH, but just trying to think of all the details, trying to get things done on time, and all the extra work that a new project entails. Needless to say, I think I have been keeping Cheetos in business. Even when I start out good for the day, it doesn't seem to last since I am running so much back and forth that half the time I really never know where or when I am going to eat. To top it off, I have not been getting enough rest with trying to take care of the current business, home, and the new business. I know that this will change as soon as we open, but for now the lack of sleep is really hindering weight loss.
Not complaining, that is just the way things have been right now and where I am at.
So, I am still striving for the 150's this year. Like I said, I don't know how often I will be by, but just wanted to let you know that I am still around.
Everyone have a wonderful day!

YEAH YOU'RE WITH US!!!!! 
So glad to have you here, I know you'll meet that weight goal...that's a good time frame and I know you can do it...just come in and post when you feel like you're tempted by food...let us cheer you on to how WONDERFUL you'll feel being pounds lighter and that much closer to goal!!!! Cheetos are a loss killer for me..I can eat one small bag...but what happens is I start allowing myself other things after the Cheetos..if I could stick to 1000 calories and have that one bag I would...but really an apple goes a lot further in curbing my cravings...I think junk food just breeds more craving for junk food...I'm giving them up for 100 days...and believe me I'll have a bag waiting for me on April 21...they're just soo tasty!
