Weight Loss - Take Two

I have wanted to loose the same 20 lbs for years, but have been lackluster in my approach at best. This time feels different due to all of the changes that are taking place in my life all at the same time.

I am not only trying to loose weight but become healthier also. To accomplish this I need to reduce my daily calorie intake, eat healthier meals (increase vegetables), and exercise.

Vital Stats

Height - 5' 6"
Weight - 155 lbs

Body Measurements
Bust - 35.5 inches
Waist - 31 inches
Hips - 43 inches
Thigh - 25.5 inches
Arm - 11.5

Blood Pressure - 113/77

My goal is to get down to 125lbs - 130lbs and to eat healthier. Following The Biggest Loser food pyramid I need

4 servings of Fruits & Vegetables
3 servings of Protein
2 servings of Whole Grains
200 calories of extras

My meals should be structured

Breakfast
1/2 protein serving
1 whole grain serving
1 fruit serving

Snack
1/2 protein serving
1 fruit serving

Lunch
1 protein serving
1/2 whole grain serving
1 vegetable serving

Snack
1/2 protein serving
1 fruit serving

Dinner
1/2 protein serving
1/2 whole grain serving
2 vegetable servings

I am going to start next week after I spend this weekend menu planing and grocery shopping.
