Weigh In: 320 (new low!)Calories Consumed: 2763
Calories Burned: 4923
Workout Time: 80 Today, 430 Total In March
I'm hoping to see my plan of alternating my calories from 1700ish to about 2400ish every other day (or abouts) keep my body on its toes. I'm not sure if I'm full of it or if maybe it's in my head, but it seems like whatever I'm doing is working. I know I don't want to go TOO low on my calories (I feel like 1700 should be too low) because of my concern of 'starvation' mode, but I hate seeing myself up as high as I am today at 2763.
So, by bouncing back and forth between the two, I seem to be doing something right. We'll see if I'm just blowing smoke, or if I've actually got this down.
As mentioned above, I'm down another pound today. I'm thrilled about that. I also beat the hell out of myself in my workout today to punish myself for yesterday, so I'm doing OK.
Softball season starts next month, and I'm really looking forward to it. At the end of last season, I was probably somewhere around 360 pounds. By the time THIS season starts up, I should be around 310 or below (I hope!). I've been improving the past few seasons, but I'm really wanting to see more speed on the basepaths, and a bigger bat. I've traditionally been the 'big fat guy' that everyone backs up in the outfield for - they see my size and assume I beat the crap out of the ball.
Then, I get a single because I put the ball in front of them. It looks like it's because I'm 'placing' the ball, but it's really because I didn't have the bat speed or strength.
I mention this, because I'm really looking forward to the Spring. I've had enough of this winter weather. I am getting stir crazy, and I want to be able to go outside and into my backyard and enjoy my yard. We bought the house in December, so we've yet to enjoy the lot.
Tomorrow's a busy one, and I won't be hitting the gym until late. Curious to see what the weigh-in will be like after 2700 calories today.

You're doing something right!
The calorie counter site has made a huge (no pun intended) difference. You're losing weight consistently. Rocky music...cool...eye of the tiger
Great job Rob!

I think zig-zagging your calorie intake is a great idea. I try to do the same thing, but with less variance (2000-2500), and not quite as consistently.
I wouldn't worry too much about starvation mode since you aren't giving your body a chance to adjust to the low calorie intake. Just make sure you're eating enough to fuel your muscles and stave off cravings.
Dont worry about what "they" say. If it's working for you, then it's working for you. Keep it up!
Man, get fired from the DNA and take a job out here. I could use somebody to play some sports with.
I agree with billy.
If you said you were going to do 1700 every day that would probably cause problems. but if your bouncing, as it were, I think things should go well. You sound skeptical, but I think its a great idea if you are counting calories and you make it actually happen. Dont worry about your own or other's skepticism. Let your body tell you how its going.
