    Yeah, I always thought it was better to have a little more protein, since it helps you rebuild your muscles. I'm proud of myself- yesterday I actually went over on my protein, and I've had trouble getting enough protein in the past!

    Don't worry about going over on protein. In my opinion, MFP tends to go a little low on their protein allowance. I try to exercise more to "up my numbers", since I'm almost always over on my protein. I still steadily lost the weight that I wanted to in my first 8 months here, so as I already said, don't stess too much if you go over. :smile:

    YUP, 42 pounds! I'm STILL amazed that I did it! Believe me, I've tried just about every diet known to man, (and woman!) :laugh: , and NOTHING worked until I came here. I watched my numbers, got some exercise, and TOTALLY changed my life! :wink:
    I can't say enough good about MFP and all it's wonderfully supportive members! :heart:
    Keep staying determined to lose the weight that you want to, and, YOU WILL! :smile:
