I weighed in at 213.6! I'm surprised I lost weight since I had a hard time sticking to my calories. I'm only going to measure myself once a month I think. This week my goal is to stick to tracking more and exercise more. I fell off track with my exercise as my boyfriend was in town for a week before he had to head back to…

I chose my weight based on the last weight I was happy at. 140-145 lbs. I have a long way to go!

I tried the kale veggie salad that comes in a kit at Costco. It was delicious! Mind you I think the actual kale parts were the parts I wasn't so crazy about...but I love cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, etc so I thought the salad was really good. I will give kale another shot with the kale chips. I have heard lots about…

I attempted but couldn't complete it. I have really bad wrists and couldn't do the pushups or planks as I'm still too heavy to support my own weight but I did the sit ups. I also do tons of sit ups everytime I do my kickboxing circuit. I'm going to attempt this challenge again once I have lost more weight.

Quinoa is my favourite. I use it in place of rice or couscous. I put it in salads. I love it in stuffed peppers. Some of these other recipes sound fantastic!

Love making homemade meatballs!

Mmmmmmmmm cna't wait to try some of those!

Love zucchini! One of my fav veggies. Definitely have to try this!

5'9" and eating 900 calories is insane. I am also that height and there is no way I could eat that amount and not be in starvation mode. You are seriously harming your body. I can't even begin to comprehend how you can do the Insanity workout without passing out or feeling sick. Eat more of the foods you actually like. Or…

I found I was tired, weak, etc when I was not eating enough calories. I have since upped them and am feeling 100 times better. Sometimes I feel tired but once I force myself to get to the gym I am so much more energized. I would love to be able to work out before work, but it just doesn't fit into my schedule.

I LOVE cheese and will never give it up! I definitely have cut back on how often I eat it though and will try and get my fix with the Laughing Cow cheese as I do like it (but it's just not the same!)

I'm 216.8 and 5'9" Waist 39.0 Hips 46.0 Arms 13.5 Thighs 27.5 Bust 43.0

I'm going to attempt this tonight once my boyfriend and his brother go out. Good for you on accomplishing the push ups! I'm looking forward to becoming stronger!

I'm 27 yrs old and have around the same amount of weight to lose. My goal weight is 140-145 as I too remember weighing that much about 8 years ago. I want to get back to being me! Feel free to add. :)

Sushi is by far my favourite food and I'm so sad that it in fact has so many calories. I recently switched to just eating sashimi so I can still somewhat enjoy it.

I'm having teriyaki marinated chicken with baked yam and green beans.

Ya when I eat the same thing over and over my cravings for junk increase. I get bored of food easily.

When I'm craving something sweet at night sometimes I bake a pear with a tiny bit of brown sugar and cinnamon.

I like almond milk a lot, but don't buy it a lot since I don't consume tons of dairy. I'm finding I'm getting a pretty bad dairy intolerance to things like milk (unless it's skim), sour cream and yogurt, so I am trying to cut out all dairy with the exception of cheese.

Yumm sounds delicious!

I definitely am my own worst enemy when it comes to food. I am finding it hard to not indulge my sweet tooth. Tracking everything is really opening my eyes to where I am going wrong and hopefully I can find alternatives I like just as much to stay on track. My boyfriend also has a bad habit of bringing junk food into the…

I LOVE white rice. I'm learning to kind of like brown but I am still a sucker for Japanese style white rice. I also like white jasmine/basmati which is the kind we mostly eat. I have also been subbing quinoa for rice a lot lately.

I'd like to try to but not sure if I can do a push up.

It's the snacks that I have been finding the hardest...mainly when I get home from work I am usually pretty hungry and end up grabbing something bad! My first weigh in I'm at 216lbs

I just joined and am here :)

I want to lose about 2 lbs a week. I'm buying a scale tonight so I can confirm 100% what my starting weight is. I plan on achieving my goal by tracking all my food (hard for me) and continuing my gym routine but adding more walks on the days I am not at the gym. I have started spending the last half of my break going for a…

I love quinoa! I also use it in place of rice. I think I would like to try kale. I eat almost all other veggies/fruits and that's the only one I can think of off the top of my head that I have never eaten. In terms of exercise I am going to stick with my women's kickboxing circuit and going for walks on the days I don't do…

My name is Ashley and I'm 27 and live in Vancouver, BC, with my boyfriend and 2 cats. Since I finished high school I have really struggled with my weight. I went from being 140lbs to being about 215lbs. I joined MFP a year or so ago and never really managed to stick with the tracking. This week I have decided to really…

5'9", 27 and weigh 215 lbs. Would love to drop at least 50 lbs by July! My goal weight is 140-145.
