    5. how many net calories do you eat? I don't pay attention to any of that.

    6. are you still losing? Yes losing bodyfat and inches, which is my concern.

    jeanine..sorry. this is going badly. I wasn't criticizing your plan at all. I just wanted to understand your method of using it because some people go several days up and then several days down...like 1200/1200/1200/2000/2000/1200/1200 and others just do down/up/down/up in an alternating fashion. So i wanted to know your method. I do want other perspectives and to know what works for people.

    I just didn't want you to think that I wanted to do it .Sorry if it came across as snappy or anything. It wasn't my intent.

    I REALLY appreciate this reply as I didn't get a good vibe. The week schedule I gave as the example is the chart I go by. Personally I LOVE it and it worksso well fo rme and a few other friends i know that are trying it.


    Jeanine - THANK YOU for offering this information! I just checked it out and am going to try it as I have hit a little bit of a plateau and actually think may not eating enough calories.
    Thanks to both of you for pursuing the conversation to such an encouraging end! Happy eating! :-)

    1. how tall are you? 5'0
    2. how old are you? 28
    3. how much do you weigh? 120-122 started at 180 or so
    4. how many gross calories do you eat? 1400-1900
    5. how many net calories do you eat? 1100-1600 depends on exercise and zig zag
    6. are you still losing? not for a month or so weight training for 4 months now. use measuring tape versus the scale.
    7. what's your goal weight? Would like to be 110-115 but since I weight train at least 3 times a week 120-125 is great as long as I can get my BF% down and fit into a size 2-3. Currently 4

    1. 5'1
    2. 25
    3. 100
    4. 1200-1500 depending on how much I run ( I run an average of 40 miles per week)
    5. I always try to hit 1000, but it usually ends up around 700
    6. I don't think so. Gaining if anything, I only weigh in once per month
    7. No clue, I was 92 lbs around January 1st, gained eight pounds in six weeks. I was 100 on February 4th.

    P.S. I feel like I could answer this thread so much better on March 4th (next weigh in day) to see my real progress.

    1. how tall are you? 5'2"
    2. how old are you? 35
    3. how much do you weigh? 158
    4. how many gross calories do you eat? MFP Goal is 1200 + eating back my exercise calories so can be 1500-1600
    5. how many net calories do you eat? I try for 1200 tops
    6. are you still losing? (if so, how fast) yes, not nearly as fast as I'd like but at a healthy pace
    7. what's your goal weight? 125-135

    I was 120lbs pre-children but I'm having such a hard time losing the "baby weight" that honestly I'd settle for 135lbs at this point. I just want to feel pretty again :( I admit, I am the one to blame since I don't seem to stay consistent with my eating/exercising so I am working on that. I enjoy food so much now and hate to feel like I can't have something... but you all are an inspiration!! All short like me and in great shape (some even after children, which REALLY inspires me).
