Goal = Lose 50 lbs in a Year.

Hi, my name is Katie. I used MyFitnessPal to successfully lose twenty pounds a few years ago, which helped me to stay healthy during my first pregnancy. I've had another baby since then and, four years later, I now have FIFTY pounds to lose instead of twenty.

My goal is to lose the weight over the course of a year, with my Official Start Date being this coming Sunday. I'll be tracking everything I eat as best I can. I've spent this week just trying to get into the habit of logging everything again, without really working too hard to hit my calorie goals.

I'm hoping to get into the following habits:
Smaller portions (I eat healthy foods, but I tend to OVEReat healthy foods, which undoes all the good work of planning out healthy meals!)
Fewer outside-the-home food purchases: I have a serious caffeine addiction and I need to work harder at making coffee at home instead of purchasing lattes and whatnot at Starbucks. We also rely way too heavily on takeout on those tired nights where we just want to feed the kids and go to bed.
Regular exercise: My goal is to do cardio/strength three times a week and yoga twice a week.

Anybody else on a similar plan or using a similar goal? I'd love to befriend people who are also trying to eat around 1600 - 1700 calories per day so I can get a look at what you're eating and how your exercise plan is going!
