I came to MFP at about this time last year and did well until about July or so, as I had lost about 10-15 pounds. Then, I went on vacation in August and basically everything came undone. For the last six months, I had been fluctuating between the same 1-3 pounds on the scale and making no real progress. I lost track of my eating plan as well and one day got frustrated and deleted my MFP profile. It was my fault, but I had stopped caring and I felt upset that I hadn't succeeded in so long.

So I took a couple weeks away from the site and just took a week off from exercising, and now I feel ready to try again. I'm down 17 pounds from last year, but I still have about 60 pounds to lose. I'm 5'3" and will be 29 in June, and I work from home, so it can be challenging to squeeze in a workout and eat healthy when I'm grabbing what I think can be made in a short window of time.

I'd love to connect with other people who also have busy schedules, and I'm especially looking for people who do a lot of working out at home, whether they have an elliptical, a weight room at home or do DVDs. I don't have a ton of time to get to the gym and find it easier to just pop in a DVD than I do to get dressed, wait for a bus to the gym, workout and get a bus or walk home. (I don't have a car.) I'd also like to talk to people who don't "eat clean" and don't mind indulging on junk food once in a while...I will always love to eat!

None of the above things are mandatory, just "nice to haves." Also, I'm working on finding a picture so don't mind my default image box!
