Quick Added Calories:
I've been under my goal weight by 5 to 8 pounds for the past 3 years thanks to healthy eating and exercise, and was thinking about giving up on recording everything I eat. However, after looking over my options I found the "Quick Add Calories" feature and decided to give it a try and see if it would be useful. So far I…

Just started trying to maintain... need advice please.
I've finally hit my goal weight and I'm ready to move on to maintaining this weight. I've recalculated my RDI and TDEE for a few different places and I've gotten vastly different numbers ranging from 1400 to over 1800 when I input the exact same data. So, I'm not sure if the smartest thing to do is just use the lowest…

Portion
Just watched the video... Really makes you think. Cheese is definitely one of my down falls. When I saw the huge plate of apples compared to the 2 little pieces of cheese I could believe it. I won't say I have been perfect but I have been trying to use measuring cups to measure portions out as I put them on my plate. When…

Weightloss from illness.
Starting 4 weeks ago I was hospitalized with severe Cellulitis for 8 days (IV antibiotics) then resting at home (oral ABs). I lost 20 pounds (from 228) and am still gradually going down. My appetite is still very meager and as it comes back I worry about reboundint. While I'm ecstatic about being thinner I would like some…

when did you begin transitioning to maintenance?
I am 4.3lbs away from my goal and eat about 10% below my TDEE for about 0.2-0.4lbs a week loss. Should I just leave it at 10% below TDEE until I reach goal or should I reduce it to 5%?

Overweight pregnancy vs fit pregnancy
Are there any mamas out there who experienced an overweight/unhealthy first pregnancy and a fit second pregnancy? If so, would you mind sharing your experiences about the second? Were you better able to maintain a healthy weight during pregnancy? Was it easier to "bounce back" after? This will be my scenario if I get…

Is maintenance hard for anyone else?
I guess I've been maintaining for 6 months now, but does it get easier? I mean, I've been on MFP for 2 years, but I still struggle and there isn't a day that goes by when I'm actually satisfied and don't wish I could eat more (except the days when I go 500 calories over maintenance or something). I mean, I'm not depriving…

Sick more often?
Ok another random thread from me. Is anyone else getting sick more often now that they are smaller? It's getting ridiculous here, every 3 weeks it seems I end up with headaches and generally just feeling exhausted for a few days. I sometimes manage to get some kind of workout in (basically some stationary bike) but most of…

Maintenance
i am a recovering alcoholic and so the only thing I want in life is more, so maintenance is tricky. I've lost 30 lbs and am very very happy about it. As well, I had to buy a whole new wardrobe as everything fell off. This has been a good thing for me cause I sure can't buy a new wardrobe again! Costs way too much. I use…

Kinda easier
i did weight watchers where you find foods that are very high in fiber and wasn't hungry. You have to remember to wait 30 min after you eat to make the hunger subside. The other way is cut the carbs to almost nothing. Sugar calls for more sugar because it causes blood sugar to dip very low. Then you need another sugar fix.

Confused: TDEE and Where to set calories
I calculated my BMR - It is 1500 calories. My TDEE (based on desk job with no activity) is 1795 calories. But despite my sedentary desk job, I also run 55-65 miles a week. So what go I set my daily calorie goals at? Obviously when I run 10 mile or more a day, I need more than 1795 calories. Im not smart about this so…
