*going back to bi-weekly weigh ins to keep me motivated*
Height: 6'1"
Starting weight: 205 lbs
Goal weight: 180 lbs (for now)
Previous weight: 202
Current weight: 196.5
Last BMI: 26.6
Current BMI: 25.9
Goal BMI: 23.7
Pounds Lost: 5.5
Total Pounds Lost: 8.5
Pounds until goal: 16.5
1. Reiterate my goal(s) and where I stand in reference to this goal.
- I am doing pretty good on my calorie intake focus. Now I need to work on my exercise focus.
- Focus on end goal and building willpower. Put off and put away the junk food and empty calories. I want to be healthy and eat healthy so that I can teach my children good habits as well.
- We have been in the middle of an FET IVF cycle (frozen embryo transfer) this month. I'm not sure how the medications involved will or have affected my weight and I don't want to be doing anything too far above and beyond my norm in case of it being harmful to our chances.
2. Discuss what I am going to do to achieve my goals.
- I started using MyFitnessPal with the New Year (ask me for my username if you need a buddy)
- I will follow up on my thyroid medicine if needed.
- Work towards getting some exercise in each week and then increasing this.
- Signed up for Bountiful Baskets in my area again (more fruits and veggies)
- I will only eat one refined sugar type sweet/dessert each week

- I will only eat one refined sugar type sweet/dessert each week
- I will do my best to not bring sweets into my home; grocery shop smart
- I will learn more about portions and portion control
- Drink more water; drink water when I want to snack; No more soda
3. Try to motivate others to join in on trying to become more healthy.
- Jeff is doing a "biggest loser" type competition at work. I hope this helps us motivate each other. I still want to learn more on portions and weight watcher type advice from my good friend.
4. Post a (reasonably healthy) recipe that I've tried, a cooking tip, a new idea for working out, a photo update of my weight loss or anything else I feel like sharing.

Taco Soup in a Can
1 lb ground beef (85% lean for calorie calculation)
1 can Kidney Beans
2 cans Black Beans
1 can Diced Tomatoes
1 can Green Chilis
1 package Frozen Corn
1 package Ranch dressing mix
Sour Cream (optional)
Shredded Cheese (optional)
This is super yummy as soup on it's own. I calculated the calories on MyFitness Pal and was surprised that it's not horrible for you. I also love to use it as a nacho topping. Drain the water off of chosen amount once you heat it up and then drop the contents over a plate of nachos. Add sour cream or guacamole and you are set for a delicious dish from leftovers.
Servings (approximation)
10 - 1 cup servings
Calories per serving: 290 calories per cup (via MyFitness Pal recipe calculator)
