Eating calories the next day
Saw a video of someone talking about eating their overall burned calories for the day the next day to maintain . My Fitbit is pretty accurate on my workouts . I however sometimes workout at night and that ups my overall burned calories and by then I’m already ready for bed. I was wondering if anyone tried this and is…

Superbowl bump!
I got a 2 lb bump from Superbowl dinner with family. Two bowls of turkey chili with cheese and avocado, lots of corn bread, a few tortilla chips, two beers, and a few cookies. Nice! Other years I would have blamed it on alcohol and salt, but the beers were "craft AF" (Athletic Brewing Co), the chips were low sodium, and…

Lost in Maintenance
I’ve begun obsessing over scale weight and not paying attention to appearance, until my trainer tactfully showed me the video this still comes from Wednesday. I was horrified. I look like granddaddy long legs. She lovingly told me it’s too much, I’m visibly losing muscle, that she’s been there, too, etc etc. We had a long…

Progress
I have been on the path of the definition of "Progress" for the last 4 months (involved with the app, fitness, dieting, etc.). At the beginning of my journey, progress meant dropping the pounds. When I realized I still mentally viewed myself with ill will and rude intentions, that was the first time "progress" changed for…

Strategies for resisting cravings
I'll eat something high in fat but also less detrimental for my weight than what I'm craving, like a black bean burger instead of a burger and onion rings. Once I ordered junk food and didn't eat it, but don't worry, environmentalists, my girlfriend did so it did not go to waste. What is your number one strategy to putting…

Does anyone else need to see pictures to *believe* they did it
I have been maintaining for about two yrs now. I still need to see those before and afters to really *see* it. Maybe that is because there was no finish line like I had envisioned. I am still working on goals. I lift heavy. And I have strength goals. But I still don't think of myself as a *fit* person who has *done *…

Does metabolism pick back up after a while of maintaining?
I lost 25 lbs over 4 months and then found my maintenance calorie level by gradually increasing until I stopped losing. I've been maintaining for a month and a half at this level but now my weight is going down a bit again. I've been exercising at a pretty even pace the entire time, so no clear reason why it would go down.…

How long did it take your brain to catch up with your new body size?
I know when people lose weight, especially if it’s quickly or if it is a large amount of weight, the mind can take a while to catch up and perceive the body as it’s new size, either just general bodily awareness or perception in the mirror I have been maintaining for a few months now, went up a bit over Christmas and back…

Back after break
Greetings all! After logging everything for something like 7 years I took a break back in October. It was refreshing, though I habitually reached for my phone to log for weeks after quitting. I had quit logging because I knew it no longer influenced my eating - those good habits were well ingrained. And it hasn’t. No gain.…

Any feel their head has shrunk after weight loss?
This may kind of sound crazy, I do know I've certainly gone down a shoe size, but my old hats no longer fit me too well, they no fit tight and they sometimes fly off, like they are now all too big for me now.
