    Way to go! I think you are doing great and the calories look good. Definitely NOT out of control for activity level. Keep your sites realistic.

    You did great, but I agree with the last post....try not to go under 1200 too much, if at all. ESPECIALLY with your activity level. I'm sure you will find the calorie level that works the best for you, but you also don't want your body to go into starvation mode where it will hold onto the fat, and you end up going crazy with the calories because you are so hungry.

But, you will KNOW what works for you, and I guess if that means under 1200, that means under 1200. Your body will let you know what's what!

Great consistency!

    Okay, I definitely don't want to come off of one of *those* people that act like they are a little miss know it all and is ready to tell everyone else how they aren't doing it "right"...but UNDER 1200 calories??? I'm curious why you need to be under 1200 with all the activity that you do...is that giving you enough fuel to actually keep your body going at optimal performance??

I ask because I've always heard that you should NEVER be under 1200 calories. That 1200 is the minimum we need to live on healthily and that as "athletes" (which you are - look at all your activity!) we need closer to no less than 1500 calories.

What you do is up to you...but I would definitely caution you to double check with a health professional and I say that because I care about you and not because I think I know it all. :-) Hence, talking to a professional...

    I think you're doing great. It supposed to be good to cycle your calories.

    You have a great plan. Seeing it in writing definitely helps. You will get the calories in check soon. Just keep doing what you are doing and it will all fall into place.

Have a great weekend. emoticon
