How Did I Get Here?

So, here I am, joining the group because frankly, I am not sure how I got here. I currently am topping the scales at right around 140lbs, somewhere I haven't been in about 7-8 years. There are probably a few factors that have contributed to my current weight status....
1. My "Schedule" - or lack there of. I travel a lot for work and for fun, it is rare that I spend more than 10 days straight sleeping in my bed which means that I don't get to have much of a routine. The simple fact is that I often do not even buy groceries if I know I am going to be out of town, instead I have condiments, beer and usually some rotting fruit in the fridge.
2. Bad Habits. I've developed a few bad habits, which doesn't help me out much in the weight department. Since I work and travel and therefore eating out a lot, I am often prone to having a drink, and when you go out more than 3 nights a week, that adds up to a lot of calories, empty ones to be exact. On top of that I have always been a lover of food, usually the worse they are for you the higher they rank on my favorite food list:

- Chocolate. To be fair, I have developed a taste for dark chocolate but who I am I kidding, I'll eat anything with the word chocolate in it.
- Bread. Again, I don't discriminate, anything that has been baked will appeal to me.
- Cheese. Cheddar, Swiss, Gruyere, Edam, Blue, you name it, I will eat it......usually with my bread.
What can we conclude from this?
My ideal night is at a fondue restaurant, yes...... and that I have some bad habits to break if I want to even think about competing in this game.

So here is my goal. I would like to get down to 120lbs by the end of this competition. I have a ways to go and some new, better habits to form but look, we are all in the together, plus I really like Vegas!
