thank you, Spiegelchan! i just made this recipe, but used kale as the base (used more than called for)and cut the olive oil to 1/4, and used butternut squash, bc that's what i had on hand http://www.spoonforkbacon.com/2016/08/roasted-sweet-potato-quinoa-salad/

height 5'4, 37yrs old highest wt/re-starting wt 183.6 (1/26/16) cw 173 i would like to be close to or 160 for the step daughter's hs graduation may 27th reunion trip the second week in june... ballz to the wall to be down as much as possible by then... i am currently doing insanity and logging everything. we are eating…

so... what do you think?

i'm right at 5'4, starting weight almost 180, current weight 165.8 - i have started jogging, participating in 30d ab challenge and i (re)started insanity this morning. i would love to be in the 130s, but i really enjoy food. lol so i'm shooting for 145, then will re-evaluate from there.
