Medication and losing weight.
So I'm on adderall for my ADHD . It's helped so much, but I've also lost a ton of weight. I've been on it since April, and just being on it alone I've lost 40 pounds( and not working out) but the problem is its curved my appetite so much. At first I'd have to force myself to eat .. And almost forget to eat . Now I get…

Lowing body fat?
I've decided that I no longer want to lose weight, but rather body fat. I've always had a petite frame and at one point I had a very low body fat, about 13% but that was due to under eating.

Who has successfully ignored common MFP advice re: rate of loss?
The advice to slow down your weight loss as you get closer to your goal is frequently given on MFP. For example, you might start with a 2 pound per week goal, but then lower that to 1 pound then 1/2 pound per week as you get closer to goal. Please post if you ignored this advice, and have been successfully maintaining…

Recomp macros
Hi all I'm curious as to the importance of adhering to macros during recomp. I know that protein is crucial, but what about the other two? Can an incorrect balance have an impact on results - e.g. too much fat halting fat loss? [Background TL;DR: I've been recomping now since May, finished NROLFW and just started Strong…

Maintenance calories
okay, so I'm very confused, I think my metabolism is shot to pieces, in the last 6 weeks I've gained 6lbs. I've been eating on average (fully calculated) 1645 calories a day. Meaning that my maintenance calories are only 1145 calories a day despite being quite active. I weigh all of my food and go by the packets not just…

Clueless spouse about former weight obsession
When I was in 6th grade, I weighed 100 pounds. I was either 5'1 or 5'2... I'm 5'3 now at 36. I overly obsessed about my weight thinking I weighed too much then and deliberately ate less. I got sick with chronic crazy ear infections in 2013, it took my appetite away. I could barely eat, even when I forced myself. I weighed…

Is this possible?
Is it possible to loose on a high intake and gain on a lower one? I had been eating around 2500 calories a day and I was maintaining (even loosing around .2lb a day). With my busy schedule that went on for the past 2 weeks I've been only eating around 2000-2100. Since October 8th (when I started to reduce my intake), I'm…

Has anyone gone over maintenance
Today I managed to eat fine up until I binged on a soft cookie and big slice of pie. I would exercise to burn it off but I can't risk breaking out in more acne even though I keep good hygiene. For a 1200 cal goal I have 451 cal left and I didn't eat lunch or dinner. What should I do

Ladies... has anyone had a baby since they lost weight and come back down to goal?
So this is probably ridiculous, I mean CICO works, so obviously it can be done. But I've been worrying (probably needlessly) what am I gonna do when Hubby and I have another baby. We want 2-3 and I've never tried to lose weight before now and I'm doing well, but what do you do if you get pregnant. What do you do while…

Maintenance began today
Yesterday, I think exactly 6 months from when I started, I reached my goal weight of 125 from 147.4. So today, I start maintenance. Here's my plan: Keep doing what I was doing for the last 6 months. I found that my calorie budget of 1500 wasn't a starvation diet. It works just fine for me most days. So I may lose more…

Recognizing Maintenance Weight: Body Signals?

Hey there. Just wondering if it was possible to use a target weight range as opposed to a specific weight. I'd like to not have a drastic reduction in calories if I'm only 1/2 a pound under my target weight.
