I'm curious, is there an excerise plan that could include volleyball? I use the word "Rapid" because in 21 days I've lost 12pds and there is absolutly no medical condition or issue of stress etc. I have played VB more and still eat the same. Can Volleyball Cause Rapid Weight Loss?

Check out that site. If they're correct, I wieght about 180 - so I probably burn about 12 calories per minute of competative play.

Two days of 4+ hrs of practice, an ALL day tournament and some pick up inbetween.

Could definitly add to drastic weight loss. Especially if you wern't doing that before.

I lost 7 lbs. one night (of water weight) playing men's beach volleyball - 2's or 3's - I don't remember? Anyway it was about 90-95 deg F outside and the humidity was really high...
