I am using an increase in exercise to blast through an anticipated plateau at 180 - I maintained at 180 for a long time, and was trying to diet lower but wasn't making it, and then gained 12 lbs by eating too many fast food fish meals due to an out-of-freaking-control schedule. Seriously. I would eat an Arby's fish sammie in 3 bites while running back to my car. Anyhoo - I have never exercised vigorously, until now, and I am focusing on building muscles to help power myself down below the 180 mark without having to drop my calories severely. I do, however, take a nice long walk on most days. Except these days because it is freaking freezing COLDCOLDCOLDCOLD out there! I am not going out in that. If million dollar bills started raining from the sky, I don't know if I'd go outside.
