    I am 5'7 and currently weigh 220. My goal weight is 160. I am losing my weight because I want to be there for the long haul with my kids and I am tired of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin.

    1. Write your current stats: height, current weight and goal weight. Why are you losing weight?

    Height: 5'3

    CW: 155lbs

    GW: 125lbs-130lbs

    I am losing weight 75% for my body confidence, it's harder to love myself and accept me as overweight and too big...
    The other 25% is for better health, though I have no health issues that I am aware of (besides being overweight) diabetes runs in the family and I would also like to be in my best shape... hopefully avoiding major health issues in the future.

    I use to be a lot heavier and wan't happy or healthy. Just made the decision to lose. I get one life and it would be wasted being sick or miserable.

    9. What is your favorite type of cardio?

    Dancing! I do Zumba and the Hot Pants Workout, completely uncoordinated and sweat loads but I have so much fun doing them. Also looking forward to when running becomes a favourite - am quite enjoying it at the moment but I think I'll only truly love it when I can run 30 minutes without feeling like I'm going to pass out or crumple painfully in a heap.

    23. How much water do you usually drink in a day?

    I have two water bottles; my gym one which holds about 20 oz and my work one which holds 32 oz. I usually drink two gym plus one work and maybe just a glass or two in-between those. So.... 60-80 oz of water a day. Though I just log 8 glasses a day.

    26. Do your friends know about you wanting to lose weight? Do they support you?

    I have told some of my friends that I'm trying to lose weight however I guess it's quite easy for them to forget. They will have noticed things like when I choose the healthy option if we eat out or that I don't tend to drink much at all anymore. I have enough support on MFP to keep me going anyways :)

    Missed a whole, crazy, hectic week. Sorry, guys! Making up for it finally, and will attempt to stay more on track (no promises though, unfortunately.)

    18. Try to use as little salt as possible today or maybe even none! Don’t buy microwave meals and don’t eat foods high in sodium.
    Did this. I generally avoid too much salt, though I will eat some well seasoned black beans :)

    19. Are you losing weight the healthy (<2lbs/week) or the unhealthy (>2lbs/week) way?
    Healthy. I don't think it is physically possible for me to lose more than 2 pounds a week right now. I'm pretty close to my goal :) Also, I'm not exercising as much. :(

    20. Who is your biggest weight loss inspiration and why?
    You. All of you guys here on MFP, who have come so far. My journey isn't as grueling or daunting as many of the people here, and they still fight harder than anyone I know in real life. Also, one of my favorite teachers recently lost a TON of weight, like, 50 pounds or something, and she looks fantastic and I'm glad and I lovee her :)

    21. Do you focus more on getting lean and mean or tiny and fragile?
    Neither. I'm not really weight training at the mo', so I can't honestly say I'm getting leaner, but I'm also not looking to be super fragile. I'll admit, I am enticed by the idea of femininity, and I'd like to be small and curvy, but I also want to be able to pack a punch.

    22. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week?
    112. I lost half a pound. But I am about to start my TOM, so I'm a bit bloated. May have been more.
    Plan for this week: be healthy. eat well, don't stress myself out too much.

    23. How much water do you usually drink in a day?
    I try for 8 cups.

    24. Have you ever had an eating disorder?
    Yes. EDNOS

    10. Do you count calories? If so, what is your daily limit?

    Yes and no. I'm doing the Horizon 5:2 so I have to count calories on my fast days. In theory I can eat 'normally' on the other 5 days but I'm sticking to my MFP set goal for 2-3 days and then allowing myself more freedom for the remaining 2-3 'feast' days.

    Fasting days are 500 cals and MFP goal days are 1200 cals. Feast days vary and have been known to go well over 2000!

    27. Does your family support you in your weight loss?
    I live miles away from my family so I guess that's a no :P I can't wait to go back at christmas and surprise them.

    28. What is your favorite type of snack?
    Anything with houmous. Broccoli and houmous, baby carrots and houmous, houmous on rice cakes, leftover pizza dipped in houmous... Houmous!!!
