    1. how tall are you? 5'2"
    2. how old are you? 38
    3. how much do you weigh? 114 (was 120 4 weeks ago so I've lost 6 lbs!)
    4. how many gross calories do you eat? I zigzag so anywhere between 1200-1700 and possibly more if its a training day
    5. how many net calories do you eat? Same as above and i try to eat almost all excercise cals give or take giving room for error
    6. are you still losing? (if so, how fast) Deffinitely! 1-1.5 lbs a week (I also do 16/8 fast and still eat all my MFP cals in my 8 hour eating window)
    7. what's your goal weight? 105-110, doesn't matter though as I just want my body fat down and it's going down! YAY! I can see my muscles.

    what does your zigzagging look like for a given week? how many up days and how many down days? Is it 1200/1700 or is it somewhere within the range on any given day?

    One example of a week (they are always different) Mon/1500, Tues/1200, Wed/1800, Th/1500, Fri/1350, sat/1650, Sun/1500. I usually earn anywhere from 300 to (like today) 790 excercise cals. On www.freedieting.com there is a calculation you can enter your stats and they tell you your maintenace cals then you click on "7 day zigzag" and it will print out a chart for 7 days of fat loss or extreme fat loss whichever you choose. It confuses your body so it is always guessing and never running slow. :)

    7. what's your goal weight? 105 would make me happy, any lower and I think it would be impossible to maintain.

    i guess i didn't explain well. I know what it is and what the benefits are but i wanted to know how YOU implement it. So you do actually go below 1300 net then? when you workout more how do you adjust your calories? or do you not?

    May I ask why you are asking all of this then? I simply answered your questions as I thought you were trying to see other ideas out there. I also said I eat all my excercise cals back and I told you how I "implement" it by answering the questions above. It works for me as I am losing fat and am very energetic all day and during my workouts, I'm eating the best and healthiest I have ever eaten in my life eating and happy.

    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.

    Oh, no no no. Never is it my goal to belittle or be rude to anyone. I just know that different people implement things differently..they change plans so that they work for them. I know I do at least. I LOVE calorie cycling but just find it too difficult to stay on top of it...I could if I really wanted to but I am basically at goal so I'm not motivated enough to do it! That's awesome that you share information and your experience. There should be more people like you! :)

    1. how tall are you? 5'2"
    2. how old are you? 26
    3. how much do you weigh? 129, 128 on a good day
    4. how many gross calories do you eat? 1500-2000 depending on exercise
    5. how many net calories do you eat? 1500-1600, give a take a splurge here or there
    6. are you still losing? no :grumble: I might start calorie cycling again. It worked well for a long time, but I got tired of the constant, obsessive planning. Guess it was a mistake to give it up! I almost always meet a 500 calorie deficit (via BodyMedia Fit), so my body just doesn't want to give up the fat. Time for some cycling I guess *sigh*
    7. what's your goal weight? 115-120 or 18%-20% BF, whichever comes first :happy: Currently somewhere between 23%-25% I think
