First: Backstreet Boys in 2001 (I was a hardcore teenybopper back then. No shame! lol) Last: Maroon 5 and Train last August

I've always eaten pretty big breakfasts of at least 300-400 calories or so. I used to have a just bowl of cereal with milk and be done with it. Granted, my portion size was at least 2-3x what I should've been eating, and the cereal was usually full of sugar and bad stuff. Now I'm trying to get more variety with low-cal…

Artichokes, avocados, spinach, pistachios, pomegranates, yogurt, cherries (I like them now, but only uncooked), blue cheese, sushi, turkey bacon, hummus. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Oh, and ethnic food in general. When I was a kid I loved Taco Bell and hated real Mexican food and pretty much anything that…

I'm 22 and I'm always looking to add new friends. :) I totally understand all the temptation, though for me it's not just chocolate and junk food. I work in a liquor store, so I'm surrounded by lots of tempting, empty calories. Luckily most of the stuff I want is *expensive* empty calories, and there's no employee…

Thanks so much for sharing! This gives me a lot of motivation. We both had almost the same starting weight (my all-time heaviest was 240) and have the same goal weight of 170. It's great to see someone with similar stats reach their goal. :)

Awesome! I'm such a spreadsheet nerd. I'm keeping track of my weight with my own, complete with a fancy line graph. :D

MFP has my goal at 1680. I sometimes hit my goal, but most of the time I'm anywhere between 1200-1500. I exercise most days a week, but I don't eat many of my calories back, unless I have a day where I do an intense workout and have a major deficit. I do plan to start eating back some or most of those calories once I start…

HT: 5'8" HW: 240 SW: 235 CW: 229 GW: 212 (for 90 day challenge) I mentioned this in the intro topic, but I'll add it here too: My goal for the 90 days is to finish losing the weight to get me down 23 pounds by my 23rd birthday (yay for significant numbers? lol)

On the planet where very small rocks float in water, and ducks weigh the same as witches.

Whatever you do, DON'T buy Yoplait's Greek yogurt. It's not real Greek yogurt (it's "Greek style" though they fail to put that on the label), the texture is all wrong, and it tastes horrible. Dannon Oikos is my personal favorite, but Chobani and Fage are also good, like everyone else has suggested. I keep my yogurt simple:…

Hi! My current goal is to lose 23 pounds by my 23rd birthday. (6 down so far, 17 more to go!) This group should work out perfectly because my bday is August 26th--right near the end of the challenge. I've been using MFP for about two weeks, but I'm still pretty new to the forums. Feel free to add me to your friends list,…

Joining right now :)

Also 5'8". Two years ago I hit my heaviest at 240. I started working out and changing my diet about three weeks ago.. I've gone from 235 to 229, and my final goal weight is 170. My frame/build is on the larger side (I come from a genetic pool of broad shoulders and child-bearing hips) and am looking to gain more muscle.
-
Sounds good!

I've been doing Be Fit in 90 for three weeks and I'm already seeing some results. I've gained some muscle by doing the weight lifting routines, and my flexibility is coming back. The 90-day program gives you 35 minutes a day with 2 rest days each week. They have a nice variety of workouts: free weights, plyometrics, MMA,…

My long-term goal: lose ~65 pounds. My short-term goal: lose 23 by my 23rd birthday in August. :) Thanks to 4 years of college and a 9-month nightmare of unemployment followed by horrible first job, I gained about 50 pounds. I tried losing weight last year when I trained for my first-ever 5K. I managed to lose 15 pounds…
