Diet (vegetarian and no milk):
Wholefoods, almost exclusively whole grains, lots of veggies, always broccoli every week and greens, usually 3-4 servings of fruit, lots of beans, tofu a few times a week, nuts everyday, good oils like olive oil (most dinners) and avocado (at least one a week, usually), yogurt (Greek 2%, yum), some cheese, occasional eggs, not much sugar (retrained the taste buds!), avoid processed foods, water, tea, one cup of coffee, small amount of alcohol (a splash of wine in my splash of juice in my seltzer , and cooking). Cooking for myself every day (mostly) is key. I usually have leftovers for lunch. I have small snacks - yogurt w fruit & granola in the morning, raw veggies w hummus in the afternoon.

Was counting calories, but not anymore. I'd guess ~1600 cal but it varies a lot I'm sure.

Exercise: First thing in the morning.
M-W-F: running 2.5 miles, working up to 3 by Thanksgiving!
Su-Tu-Th-Sa: 1.5h yoga - the pushups have made my arms amaze me

Misc:
Sleep is key!

I kept meaning to add mine:

Diet:
Just calorie counting, with a minimum 30% protein goal. There is an emphasis on less processed foods, revamping favourite meals to make them fit in line with my new style of eating. Calories range from ~2000 cals on rest days to ~2300 on lifting days. I reevaluate levels each month but these levels still give me ~2lbs/week. I've discovered that I probably never had a slow metabolism.

Fitness:
Weight training (~70mins) three times a week
Cardio (~2 hrs a week) - mainly just walking
