Maintenance Mode!!
I just reached Maintenance Mode. I am so proud of myself, but I am terrified that when the calories adjusted by 500 calories per day, I'm going to gain all my weight back. I went from 1300 calories losing 1 lb/week to now eating 1800 to maintain. Any success with this or are people having to adjust the numbers so that they…

Question for people who weigh every day
How much fluctuation do you get? I read a lot on here about how your weight can fluctuate by as much as 3 pounds during the course of a single day.

calories--a few under vs. a few over?
I dislike getting the starvation mode warning when I am only a little under. Today I was 60 calories under--would you try to find something around 60 calories to eat? Would it be better to be say 20-50 calories over your goal instead of 60 calories under? It's so few that I'm not really that concerned but was wondering…

My diet profile.
So I know this has been asked before, but I don't want to hijack someone else's thread. Also, I'm not exactly sure what to do without using my exact numbers. So under my diet profile, it says my Net Calories Consumed/Day should be about 2,200 calories. Does this amount already factor in a deficit for me to lose two lbs a…
