Log For Life?!
I'd like to start by saying that MFP has been a major tool in my weight loss journey. I started two years ago, and for the first year I dropped 25 pounds by simply eating less and moving more. I plateaued for a while, and when I discovered MFP I dropped an additional 20 pounds in about 4 months. It helped me greatly, BUT I…

Maintenance calories not enough
Hi Everyone, I am hoping for some help, i managed to lose the weight i desired and went on holiday to Italy with an attitude that i will relax about food and eat/drink what i want.

To Eat or Not?
I am trying to find a sustainable and healthy maintenance diet and maybe gain a little bit of muscle, but I'm definitely not going for an all out bulk, just lifting heavy, gaining strength and getting protein in. So today my family had a brunch celebration from like 12:30-4. I couldn't wait to eat the brunch at 12:30 so I…

weight gain after a binge?
this was a "planned binge" for fun, which I hadn't done in 3 months, so its not a reason to worry about a binge eating problem. anyway, the few other time that I had done this, my weight would go up about 2-4 pounds the next day. but this time there seems to be a day delay, because I gained 2.5 pounds the second day after…

Did you go up in weight when increasing cals?
Hey everyone, I'm still in my weight loss phase but getting very close to my goal weight. At some point, I would like to reduce my work outs from 6x/week to 5, and of course increase calories slowly. I'm eating 1500 calories daily and as soon as I eat more than that for one day, I gain 1-2 pounds (mostly water weight). I'm…

How to increase my calories to maintenance?
OK so I've decided that I don't eat enough. I've been maintaining on 1400 calories a day for a few months and I exercise at least 6 days a week alternating between sprints/long distance running and heavy lifting/strength training. I've just calculated my BMR and it was 1320 a day and then that x 1.7 (for exercising 6-7…

Impossible to not gain your weight back ?!
I use to weigh 145 and now I weigh 120. I am 5'6.5. I have weighed between 145-150 throughout all of high school and first year University. Over the past year I have lost about 25-30 pounds and I think I look much better. However, I think my 145 pound weight is the weight that my body is "suppose" to be at. At that weight,…

Maintenance Mindset
I've reached my goal weight, I'm satisfied with my body and theoretically, I should up my calories for maintenance. However, I'm currently eating ~1500 kcal/day and maintenance would be at >2000 (active job, during the week) or around 1750 (sedentary, weekend). This seems so MUCH, I can't even imagine eating that amount…

Putting logging on pause.
I like changing things up to keep from getting bored so here is my latest.

Drinking Tea Really Helps
Recently, I've been eating and drinking healthier to help maintain my weight. I've been drinking lots of green tea as they boost your metabolism and such, and I really can feel a difference. Or maybe it's just my obsession speaking lo. Also, I've recently been introduced to tartary buckwheat tea and love it. It has a bunch…

Since January I've lost 28 pounds (I started at 178). I'm 5'3" and my original goal weight is to be ROUGHLY around 140 (although I'm currently pleased with myself at 150 I know I could stand to lose another 5-10 pounds but I'm not super stressed about it). For the past month or so my weight loss has slowed down a bunch and…

weight a minute
How often do most people weigh themselves. My plan is to keep weighing once myself every 5 weeks (made easier because I don't own a set of scales) because I'm hoping that the less I weigh myself, then the less chance I have of looking at something that can disappoint me. I'm looking for peoples view point on this. Whether…
