Official weight loss thread! *UPDATED 2/3

I am moving this from PTOT to the public because I am exhausted with posting all over the place what I eat and what I've done to lose weight. I'm tired of repeating myself  

For those who were in my PTOT, you may see a lot of things in this OP that have been copy/pasted here.

Now on MFP http://www.myfitnesspal.com/keepcalm87

Example of a few of my menu choices:
Breakfast:
Choice 1: A slice of whole wheat toast with organic peanut butter and a side of fresh fruit, usually an apple, and an entire bottle of water.
Choice 2: Two egg whites, whole wheat toast and a protein shake made of chocolate whey protein and 8oz. of almond milk. Bottle of water.
Choice 3: Kashi or Multigrain Cheerios cereal with blueberries, banana slices and strawberries in almond or skim milk. Water
(Water with every meal)
Lunch:
Choice 1: Grilled chicken on a bed of romaine lettuce with a sprinkle of fat free cheese, yogurt or a Kashi bar.
Choice 2: Grilled chicken wrap with romaine lettuce, fresh fruit.
Dinner:
Choice 1: Grilled salmon, steamed broccoli and fresh green beans.
Choice 2: (just made these yesterday) 1 bagel thin topped with organic pizza sauce, sauteed peppers and mushrooms, and fat free cheese baked. Yummy little pizza bagels!
Snacks: Fruit! I love fresh fruit and prefer it to veggies any time. I love watermelon, strawberries, blueberries and bananas for snacks. Also a Kashi bar or Fiber One is good too.

My favorite snack to make is a chocolate rice cake topped with organic peanut butter and banana slices!


Don't forget your 64oz of water each day!

For workouts:



I walk walk walk! I walk to the local park and have been adding a little bit of running to my routine. I am registered on Sparkpeople.com.


Strength training:




When I walk to the park, I do crunches hanging from the monkey bars while my daughter plays.



These are just a few moves that I do daily or almost daily.

Thanks, I will check it out  

I forgot to add...

My goal is 120lbs. I am currently 169

How many times do you do the workouts pictured? Like a few times throughout the day or just for a certain amount of time?

I forgot to add, my ULTIMATE GOAL is by February (my birthday as well as DH's birthday)

I want to do a boudoir photoshoot for DH as a birthday gift  

I would die to look like this

Quoting sooletsunwind:" How many times do you do the workouts pictured? Like a few times throughout the day or just for a certain amount of time?"

I do one or two different ones for a little while about 10 minutes or so, then I usually get DD lunch or whatever. Then we go to the park and when we get back, I eat and then do another work out. I try to do one or two at a time and rest or do cardio. I like to work out at different points all throughout the day. I am also a night student so when I am at school, when class goes on break I usually walk a couple of blocks around the school and back and I always use the bathroom upstairs so I have to walk or run up the stairs to keep me active.

Seems like you are making good progress with minor changes to your routine...I got back a gym membership around tax time hoping that I would be dedicated like before I was pregnant...but nope, I pay 13$ a month for nothing. Part of the fee is a kid's room, so I would actually go and have no excuses NOT to. I have failed miserably, been at the same weight since after I delivered 9 months ago.  Though in the past two weeks I did lose 5 lbs due to walking everywhere since car was broken   I really should make the effort to walk to school, it's not too far. This was inspiration, lol. Keep up the good work!

Thank you! I will try to post little updates every day to motivate those subscribed and motivate myself too!
