Projected calories
Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Has anyone noticed Myfitness pal projecting too much calories for maintenance, lose .5 per week, lose 1 pound per week etc. It is giving me 200 calories more than it used to be. Thanks

A quick note of encouragement for maintainers
I haven't posted in years, but wanted to drop in and give some encouragement to those in maintenance, especially those who've newly arrived. A lot of the focus on the boards goes - understandably - to losing weight, and the lifelong task of maintenance can get some short-shrift. Some of this, though, may be because people…

Recomposition: Maintaining weight while losing fat
There's a lot of talk about recomposition through the boards, so I wanted to have a place where we can compile research on it and experiences with it. When is recomp appropriate? When you are at a decent weight for your height, but your body fat is still at a level that is undesirable to you recomposition is probably a…

Hi everyone, coming to MFP from Slimming World
Hi all. So I have made the decision to start watching my calories for a few weeks and see how I go and weigh weekly so that I am keeping on track. I followed Slimming World in 2017 for about 2 years and lost 4 stone. I gave it up and returned to my old habits and ended up gaining 1 stone back. I have literally lost another…

Has anybody continued to track every single thing they eat even after reaching their goal weight?
I’ve seen amazing progress by tracking, 8.2 pounds down in a month, but I wonder how sustainable it’d be to do this forever. Has anyone had success tracking for years?

Why did my allowed calories number suddenly increase from 1810 to 2170? I have not intentionally changed my settings. Is this a program change, or something I accidentally did?

Why my bingeing happens: this might help others
I’m really writing this for myself. I notice that I gain significantly when I go shopping because I buy things and take little “bites” of everything. If there’s one thing I’ve learned while on this weight loss journey, it’s that the bites are what cause the gain. Either choose to have a serving size of something and track…

Length of maintenance period
For how long should we do the maintenance period? In my previous diets i did maintenance periods with the same length of weight loss period and keep up with exercises. But i always end up gaining the lost weight again. So what's the thing with dieting? Are we supposed to diet/maintain forever? I feel really discouraged.

Travel “Win”
Five years in maintenance this month, excluding the period I dropped too, too low. Five years in a size 4, small or XS. Five years without having to gnaw on “its mail order, so will it fit”, because it generally does. We just got back from a couple of weeks in Romania, including a week long tour with a friend where we…

Not counting, watching (sort of Intuitive Eating, but old-style, with gentle nutrition)
I've cycled around the same 10 lbs or so for over 40 years after dropping 25ish pounds. The last 10 years or so I've kept my weight lower and tighter, healthier eating, especially as I've started playing tennis again and my calorie burn skyrocketed depending on the weather. On trips (traveling/camping, 2-3 weeks 2-3x a…
