you guys have definitely made my week!!!

i have gotten a lot of positive feedback and lots of messages/questions about .... stats/exercises/nutrition... so i'm just going to post it on here so i dont have to retype it all over again

<<<*yes, i eat back my exercise calories, only on MyFitnessPal program. (as long as I know I am somewhat accurate with my calories burned/calories consumed)

Favorite exercises: elliptical, walking, running, weight lifting, yoga, pilates, swimming, hiking, random workout DVDs - i get very bored easily and love to mix things up!

and I always treat myself cause I have a sweet tooth and that keeps me from going going crazy and having a binge. (I eat like a skinny cow 100 calorie chocolate truffle ice cream everyday!!) but increasing proteins has helped me A LOT because i think that's what I was lacking a lot of before because I try not to eat red meat and was definitely not getting enough proteins to keep me full throughout the day... I also have been zig-zagging my calories. Google it/search for it on the boards. It's just a way of mixing things up with your calories (like mixing up your workouts!) by eating a NET of lower calories for two days (random example 1300), then on the third day eating a higher calorie goal (random example 1600), then repeat. It has helped with flexibility in my schedule and that is how i have been able to break plateaus *
