Back at it, woman. Talking to myself here.
Way back - I gained a lot of weight in my forties. More than just some middle age desk job type weight. I ate all the candy at the office, every donut I could, half gallons of ice cream in a sitting. Entire packages of cookies before bed. Four trips back to the all-you-can-eat buffets, beer, wings, chips, pizza…you get the…

Why is my body fat increasing?
Not quite sure where to ask this. About 6 months ago I started training with a trainer at the gym and he recommended I track body fat percentage instead of weight. Which I can do using a machine in the gym. I think I've been doing the right things- lifting weights in my gym sessions, and exceeding the target he suggested…

Dress sizes in ladies 5'4-5'7
Ladies between 5'4 and 5'7 who successfully lost weight, I am curious how many pounds did it take you to go down a size (US)? I am trying to picture what size will I wear at my goal of 125-130lb. I am 5'5.5, currently 150lb and wear size 8 or 10, depending on a brand. I don't do any lifting or meaningful resistance…

Does my fitness pal not recognise when you’ve hit your goal weight ?
I’ve now my goal weight but my fitness pal hasn’t acknowledged that. I thought it would automatically notice and ask about adjusting my goal like other apps I’ve used. Is that not the case? How do you adjust to maintaining weight?

Reached goal today but nothing extraordinary happened with the app?
this morning my weight went below my actual goal, which I’m sure isn’t unusual, but I expected there to be some reaction from the app, but there was nothing. My daily calorie goal hasn’t changed to maintenance, etc. I’m surprised that reaching goal did not trigger something. It took 5 1/2 months to lose almost 30 pounds…

Need advice on how to flip the mental switch of 'I aim to lose' to 'I need to maintain'
Hi! I feel I need to change some habits, having issues with what I said in the title. I've lost my weight over 3 years. I wasn't always consistent, but it remained my goal throughout those 3+ years. I really really really want to gain muscles now. I'm very soft (from my perspective). But I find that all the habits I…

Suggested calorie intake with Apple Watch tracking
I am trying to work out the best way to track what my calorie intake should be. I have a very physical job, window cleaning, which involves carrying ladders, climbing up and down ladders to clean windows. If I track this as “other” on Apple Watch, It averages about 2000 calorie burn per day. I also do cardio and strength…

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?

Keeping the weight off
I am back again for round number 4. I'm about 6 months into it, and down about 45 lbs. Losing weight is not the hard part for me. Keeping it off is. I quit logging calories for one reason or another and little, by little put the weight back on. I have a healthy diet. That isn't my problem. I eat whole foods almost…

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…
