Am I doing too much exercise
I have read that people who succeed at maintenance do a lot of exercise. However, the amount of time exercise is taking is getting me down a bit, especially given that meal prep is taking me a while too. Currently I'm doing: 20 - 30 mins brisk walk in morning (but with warm up and warm down it can end up as 50). 10 min…

Maintained weight for well over a year now
Using FitnessPal as my primary tool, I lost about 45 lbs well over 18 months ago now. Maintaining weight has always been a challenge in the past, but feel pretty confident that I now know how to accomplish that. The main difference this time was during the weight loss phase, spending a solid 1 1/2 years tracking every…

My parents tested positive for Covid, while I tested negative, but we all got sick at the same time. The health dept considered me positive since we live in the same house. My dad was in the hospital for 5 days and I was scared I would lose him because of how sick he got. We all were doing keto prior, but now anything keto…

Hopeful study on metabolic adaption

Maintenence level calories too low?
Hi, I recently lost weight, and my goal was 63kg (I’m female, 178cm). I weighed myself this AM and am 61.6 - this is too low for me. Never thought I’d have this problem! MFP calculates my maintenance calories at 63kg as 1990, and I’ve put myself as lightly active. I’m a daily runner but I input my calorie burn from running…

Questions about Maintaining
Hello All! I have finally decided it was time for me to go into Maintenance after going from 200 lbs at 5'4" to 130 lbs over a span of 2.5 years. My timing could have been better since I started a week before I went on vacation where my weight only spiked up to 131-132. I will not lie I indulged while on vacation and…

Weight Watchers Scale is Always Inaccurate
I inherited a digital Weight Watchers scale around 2013...it used to give accurate readings until about 2-3 years ago. I put fresh batteries in, it's on a level surface but after weighing myself 6+ times in a row, it'll give me about 4 different readings usually around 4-8 pound difference each time after calibrating it.…

Maintaining weight after vlc diet
Hello there! I’m currently on a VLC diet eating a maximum of 800-900 calories a day (because I started having health issues due to my weight). I’ve basically been on that diet for 6 weeks now (in addition to using a natural weight loss supplement with garcinia, caffeine and bitter orange as some of the active constituents)…

accountability post
I ditched the scale in June but unfortunately I also ate like a jerk and the result was a weight gain of about 4 pounds. Over the last year I have put on about 7/8 pounds total, about 12 pounds in the last two years. In 2017 I got to my lowest weight of 115 lbs and maintained it for a year. It's time to reverse it and…

If I have not gained weight, why do I look bigger?
I have not weighed in over a year, I was on a diet around 2 years ago and lost over 80 pounds. I have not weighed myself for the past year, when I weighed today, I was less than what I was over a year ago. I have essentially maintained my weight, I wear the same size clothes. Some clothes fit tighter compared to when I…

Im 18 years old and transgender (ftm). I’ve been on testosterone for a little over a year and recently I’ve lost a lot of weight.

Monthly Maintainers Goals - thoughts?
So in maintenance one thing I like to do is set monthly challenges/goals for myself. Usually they are NOT weight related altho they could be. It helps me to think long term yet still focus on improving some aspect in my world. My Apple watch encourages different monthly ones, but I thought it might be fun to see if anyone…

After taking this month off and seeing the end of month coming up, came here to report I am at 152 lbs and though I didn't…

TDEE data and questions based on calculations
Hi All, Here is a screenshot of 9 weeks of MFP analysis and I'd like to get some thoughts from people on where I should consider setting my maintenance cals or TDEE. When I initially started on MFP again, I set my goals at weight loss to lose around 4kg, probably a bit too aggressively and so over time I have change my…
