Interesting. Where did you come up with the idea to zig zag like this?

A looooong time ago, I used this method at the recommendation of my doctor. He called it "caloric shock" or "shocking your metabolism". I lost fifty pounds in about four months combining this method with weight/aerobics 4-5 days per week.

I love it because 1) it works and 2) it keeps me from getting bored with the same types of foods. I love having little "cheat" days too.

I'm on day 5..feeling good. I think it's interesting that you eat the same amount of calories weekly but just divide it up differently. I will post my results once I've hit a full week.

Week one zig zag done and I'm going for another week. I lost 1.5 lbs ..I usually lose about 1 lb every 10 days. So it's definitely doing something. Post again in 7 days. Have a blessed week.

This is the site that gave me my zig zag calories.

I'm upping my exercise too which I've never been one for that ...it's time after 95 lbs lost..better late than never!
