Real VS false weight gain
So I got to my lower weight of 135 right before Christmas (2 weeks) however on the 25 my weight was 137 and today 141 :( I didn't track everything but still seems like a lot! So how do I go from here? Back to losing mode? Normal maintaining? About how many days the weight starts to settle to know for sure how much is real?…

Happy with my body
I am 46, 5ft 4 and weigh 149lbs. I workout 3 times a week and in between go for walks and have just taken up hoolahooping. The thing is the gym I go to do measures/weight, they like to do them every six weeks or so. I very often decline but every now and again they sort of insist . Until the measure I'm happy then I get…

I know this is normal for maintenance but I'm worried...
I just reached my goal weight. The most recent calorie allowance amount I had was 1440. Once I changed my goal on MFP to maintain it puts my calorie allowance to 1920. That's a MASSIVE difference. How will I not gain weight essentially going back to a 2000 calorie diet? Do I add the calories back into my diet slowly? There…

Struggling with maintaining!!
UGH!!!! I am so struggling with maintaining! I have always only known how to do 2 things....gain weight...lose weight!

But for some reason I am having a hard…

Short, relatively small women in long-term maintenance
I'm 5'1" and recently hit my goal weight after losing 50 pounds this past year. I'm aiming to maintain between 105-110lbs (I'm currently at 106), all the while working on fitness and strength goals to keep motivated.

Getting back into it after a bad month?
Thanksgiving, a wedding, mix in PMS and the treats family has been sending over and my willpower is all but gone. I've been on MFP for almost 3 years and maintained for 1.5 year but for some reason it's much harder this year! Working out is not a problem at all and I'm constantly improving. But the eating... ugh. My…

What the title says. How often to you weigh yourself? I am thinking of starting maintenance soon and I currently weigh every morning, but I'm starting to feel like maybe I need to do it less often due to daily fluctuation.

Binge eating pros and cons
Hopefully the title wasn't misleading, but I have been wondering for some time as to whether healthy eating 6 days a week and binge eating on the seventh would be less healthy than spreading out the junk food over each day? In other words would it be better to eat a slice of pizza every day or eat no pizza for a week and…

Explination?
I recently got my period back after a large period of amenorrhea from exercise and lack of nutrition.

I just logged in for the first time in months.....
have been maintaining for year without tracking my food but just making healthier food choices, eating when I'm hungry, watching my portions and regular exercise .I also pay attention to how my clothes fit and so far so good :) How are you maintaining? Why do some people gain it back when they stop tracking?
