For oldtimers - an MFP question
Lots of maintainers have been here a long time. Has the site slowed substantially since it was sold to UnderArmour and they did the last update? I feel like it hangs when I want to select a food and takes a long time load with all the animated ads. I've taken to doing all my logging on my phone. Although you can now see…

I know I should be happy about the way I look but I still feel like I should be losing more weight. I feel extremely fat and gross all the time. Unfortunately I honestly just…

Not logging...binge eating.
A few years ago, I used MFP to lose about 12 pounds. Since that time, I have lost and gained that 12 pounds over and over. Here is the process...I lost the weight using MFP and successfully maintain as long as I log. After a month or so, I get really, really sick of logging and decide I can maintain without it. Logging…

Lose Fat While Maintaining weight?
5 months ago my goal was to gain muscle. I went from 195 to 225lbs. Right now I'm at 13% BF , I would like to bring that number down to 9%. According to the app my daily calories should be at 3200 (if maintaining) 40P/30F/30C (320 grams of protein!!) it was impossible to reach that amount of protein daily without going…

Logging... Music??
I play (classical) piano but I find that silly to log as exercise, even though it's an option on myfitnesspal. Should I log it? It can get pretty intense, as the pieces are not easy by all means, and I sometimes play up to 3 hours in a day. I'm practically laughing at myself but really - should I count it?

Reached my goal -NEED ADVICE!
Hi All, I've reached the goal I set 18 months ago and lost 30lbs. I'm really happy with this weight but want to tone and firm up. Increase muscle mass I suppose. So any advice? Should I keep a deficit in my calories so that I can build muscle weight and still keep the scale weight around the same? Thanks!

How many calories should my daughter take in?
So I want my kids to be healthy and I was just wondering. She is 5'4 and 112 pounds and 12 years of age. She swims (competitively) 4 days a week for an hour and a half. I guess her metabolism is relatively fast. So should she eat more calories on the days she does exercise and less on the days she doesn't? How many?

Consuming more calories because of cycle training
Last week I started my outdoor cycle training which caused a huge increase in my calorie burn and to a slightly lesser extent calorie intake. Coincidentally I started slowly leveling off at my target weight. After one week I've surprisingly gained three pounds, which I suspect is related to the calorie intake increase.…

I want to suceed this time!
Hello super maintainers! Apologies for a long post...skip down if too much. In 2013 I lost 39lb going from a BMI of 26.5 to 20. I was so pleased that I'd surpassed the BMI of 23 (where I normally was before pregnancy and post baby binging) that I thought was my limit. It was easy to get there and I did it slowly over about…

A question for those in the know.
Hi there, Sorry if this is a longish post. Around a year ago I gradually decided to cut down my alcohol intake and eating of large amounts of junk food; I'm not sure if it was a bit of a mid-life crisis, vanity; fear of an untimely death or a combination of all. At first I just gradually cut alcohol intake and junk foods.…

Wired jaw- wasting away.
I dislocated my jaw and had surgery last week. I'm a thin girl anyway, so any weight loss will definitely not be cool. Unfortunately, drinking all my meals makes it difficult to avoid. Now that the swelling is down and the meds aren't making me nauseous I'm ready to try some different stuff. I'm making smoothies, slurping…
