    That sounds so great, I started zigzagging today, I'm confused though, you eat back all your exercise calories?! I haven't been doing that :/ do you have any more info on this?

    I am going to try this too. Are you set at a 1 pound week weight loss to get your starting numbers? If I use a one pound week weight loss and use this method, it gives me my max def number of 900 calories.

    so how long do you keep zig-zagging before you go back to your regular recommended daily number?

    IMO, you should definitely be doing that. If you eat back all your exercise calories and still lose (or lose even better!) why wouldn't you? Try it and see how you do...

    Yes, I am set to 1 pound per week. I was set at sedentary until Newfiedan suggested I change it to lightly active. I wasn't sure I agreed because it upped my regular daily MFP calorie goal to 1440...but, he was right! I am losing so much better now! I'm not sure what the Max deficit number has to do with it? The zig zag is based on you MFP calorie goal & your Calories Burned From Normal Daily Activity (found under Goals on MFP, top right corner). If you don't have much to lose, you may need to add some calories to your weekly goal. I am confident you will still lose :)

    I guess when you stop losing :laugh:

    I don't know, I'll let you know when I have to shake things up again. If anyone else has experience with this, feel free to jump in and help us out...
