    zigzag is where you work out your weekly amount then have high and low days. what does mfp reccomend for maintenance? i reckon you should lose 1lb a week. say your allowence is 1500. 1500 X 7 = 10,500. you then zig zag. so 1800, then 1200 and so on until you have eaten your calories

    I need to do something similar-rewards are a great idea!
    I am 183 as of today (non official weigh in) and want to lose about 33 more lbs. I'm a bit older (58 tomorrow) and have to get some exercise in to lose regularly, but actually making progress this go around. I love MFP, great tool!

    Hi everyone :) at Christmas I weighed 177lbs, after talking with my doctor she recommended I decrease my sugar and only eat thing that are 50and below on the glycemic index. I try to follow that closely but it's hard, I do what I can. I worked out about 4-5 times a week in the elliptical for about 25-30 minutes. I just started running outside recently. I'm currently 152 lbs and would like to get down to 135. I feel I have been steadily losing weight at a healthy amount of 2lbs a week. This is the crunch time now though I hear the last 15lbs are the hardest! I was I size 12 at 177lbs but am now fitting into size 8.

    I'm 5'6", and at the moment I'm about 148, but I'm aiming for about 135, because anything less just isn't attainable for me. For instance, I might weigh nearly 150, but I wear a size 6 usually, depending on the pants. I've always weighed more, because I've just got a lot more muscle. But feel free to add me! It's fun being with people around the same height. :)
