Plan when reaching ultimate goal
Ok so I'm finally very close to my ultimate goal of 180 pounds. Started at 272.4 and I'm at 193.8 with a goal as I said if 180. I'm assuming this last 14 pounds will take a bit of time, 5 months? Anyway my plan once I reach this goal is to add a few hundred calories a week for a few weeks to get to maintenance rather than…

Strength training and 1700 calories a day!
I started properly strength training about a year ago after eating at 1200 calories a day with no exercise and realising I wanted to be strong, fit and healthy. I was progressing well up until the UK went into lockdown in March this year and the gyms closed. The day the gym reopened I was back at it. My OH is a personal…

Its tough!
So does anyone actually find maintaining more difficult than the weight loss? I feel like when I want to lose weight, its pretty simple. I eat less food. I'm an active runner/triathlete so maintaining a deficit is pretty easy for me. I'm not susceptible to temptation for the most part (most weight gain I had over the years…

What are you doing to outsmart rebound weight gain with friends
If conducting one special diet or food protocol worked, you would conduct it one time and one time only. There would be no such thing as rebound weight gain with friends. One diet would fix all of your problems for you until it doesn't. How are you avoiding rebound weight gain with friends after all of the dieting is done.

Missed a day! Maintenance forever.
Looking at my log today I realized that 87 days ago I must have missed one day logging. Almost 1900 before then. Bummer! Have no idea what happened. (Well besides the world. ) I have lost maybe 14 pounds since the pandemic started. I have logged every day (I thought) but am less motivated to do so. Logging has little…

Maintenance without calorie counting?
I'm at my ideal weight currently and I want to move away from calorie counting so that I can be as stress free as possible when it comes to food. Anyone had any success with this long term?

Having trouble levelling out weight loss
Did anyone else have trouble levelling out weight loss when starting maintenance? I'm consuming 2600 calories per day, and although I have the occasional hungry day, many days I have to force myself to eat more to reach this target. It seems kind of perverse for a person with my history of weight issues to be forcing…

I have worked very hard and am now fluctuating around 65.5 kilos. My tolerance for the work and hunger has finished. I will go to…

Warning: There's no Big Point to this post. I'm just chatting about something I find fun/interesting, in maintenance, but NBD. I'm a long-term Libra user. One of the nice things about it is that I can change the number of days it uses for smoothing and projections. Generally, in maintenance, I like using longer periods.…

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…

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…
