Advice needed on what to do next - to recomp or not?
Ok, so I am 1lb away from my goal and need some help about what to do when I get there. I have lost 83 lbs so far and now have a healthy BMI (although I am towards the higher end the scale) but I am not 100% happy (particularly with my stomach). I could probably lose another 14lbs (+ the 1 still to lose) to put me smack…

Still struggling with "Christmas" weight
Hi, MFP. I am currently: F / 25 years old / 5'6'' / 146 lbs. In October 2012, I was at my high weight of over 215 lbs. I made (significant) changes. In October 2013, I hit my initial goal weight of 140. I ended up going down a bit more 135 "to be safe", and spent about a year between 133-139. I maintained that range…

custom goal macro nutrients percentages are far from being correct
I want to set the macro nutrients to the following rate: 50% prot, 20% carbs, 30% fat and after saving this, everytime I get presented the grams of each macronutrient I'm supposed to have they won't match the percentages 143 + 42 + 238 = 423 and then just an example, fat is 42 which isn't exactly the 20% of 423...or am I…

Hit Goal! Coasting into Maintaining Mode
So as of this morning, I'm at 109.1, which is just a touch below my goal weight of 110. This is nicely on target, considering the July 4th holiday, and the fact that I ate over 2000 calories at my friend's bbq on Saturday (including three glasses of champagne)! At this point, I can think of coasting into maintenance mode -…

3 years dieting and now maintaining
Well I never thought I would get here. Trying to maintain my weight. I have spent 3 years trying to lose weight. I kept telling myself 10 more pounds. In my 3rd year of my weight loss journey I just couldn't lose another pound and when I did I would just gain it back. After doing this over and over again I realized my body…

TDEE or mfp maintenence calories?

mindset
I am not sure if this makes sense, but after focusing on losing for so long, holding at one steady weight almost feels like failing!

Time to choose maintenance or "cop out"?
After being between 120 and 122 for about a year (I managed 118 for only a couple of weeks), I've made the decision that I should focus on maintaining my weight rather than losing and striving for an illusory "goal." I'm 5'1.5", and I had hoped to get to 115 or below, but I have realized that because of my age (56) and…

Recomp Workout Plan (Maybe?)
Lately I've been going to the gym with my brother and a friend and have been following our own homemade routine.

I've been thinking on this and though I want to recomp, I would like to build some…

switching to maintenance temporarily
I have lost almost 30 pounds since March.

What's up with my metabolism?
After losing 60 pounds through diet change , calorie reduction and taking up running , I decided its time to put on some more muscle.

When you are older.................it's much more difficult...
After a healthy weight in my 30s and 40's, menopause hit at age 48, which included HRT , less exercising, walking instead of running, and more stress. By age 62, weight was 200 pounds for five foot three. I want to tell younger women that however you get to your goal weight, let it be through a lifelong possible program.…
