Trying to handle ED and nervous about maintenance cals
Hi! :) I'm new-ish to MFP--decided to start again to try to get a better idea of how I should be taking care of myself. I struggle with an ED and am trying to get a handle on it by understanding what my body needs, but I am extremely guilty of restricting and obsessing over food and exercise. I'm a 22-year-old female, 5'3…

Images of thighs with measurements
Hi everyone, I know that there are websites that can show you what people look like at a particular weight or body fat...is there something similar for thighs? I ask because I think I have a very distorted sense (at least according to my partner) of what my thighs look like, even after losing almost 4 inches in them and 30…

Weight Supplement and Life Change Success Story
Hey! I am fairly new to My Fitness Pal. I wanted to personally share my story, which is kind of short to anyone who wanted to hear. I am a HUGE skeptic on any supplements, but almost 4 months ago, I tried ACE. It's really big in the area that I live in and I have only heard good things about it. I tried it and I absolutely…

How much to exercise when you're maintaining?
Hi all, Not trying to lose - trying to maintain and up my calories from around 1400- 1600 to 2k+ as I don't want to lose anymore weight!

Maintenance or Deficit after Holiday
Hi everyone, I am trying to plan ahead after my holiday. I currently maintain on 1500 calories and would like to be able to revert straight back to this and avoid the scales for a month to give my weight chance to go back to normal (I know the truth would be temporary but get me down all the same) I would prefer not to go…

Still losing weight on 2,000 calories?
For reference, I'm in my mid-twenties and 5"7 1/2. In November 2013 I weighed myself and for the first time on the scale, saw 150 lbs. I realized weight had been creeping on for a few years and decided to add some exercise and track calories in order to get back down to where I'm most comfortable, around 130 to 135 lbs. I…

It's NOT how active but how many hours a day you are active
Has anyone run across studies on general activity over time vs sitting? I think the notion that you spent one or two hours at the gym and then can go back to your cubicle (couch or general lounging) and be considered "FIT" is starting to take a back seat to the concept that we need to spend as much time on our feet and…

New to maintaining, what can I expect?
I will try to keep this short so I won't post a whole back story. Basically I have met my goal after some obstacles including spine surgery and another surgery where I regained some weight and had to lose a bit again. I am now down to 125 pounds at 5'3" and I feel pretty good but my stomach is flabby and I have a lot of…

Maintaining weight but gaining inches
I'm not sure if this is posted in the right category. This is my first post in the community as well. I'm 5'9" and have lost about 40 pounds, and I'm happy at 130 pounds. I've maintained that weight (give or take a couple pounds) for about 4 months now. I used to be good about daily exercise---was taking one or two 30 min…

Withings steps as exercise?
If my goal is to maintain and I set my maintenance for MFP It gives me 1550 if I'm "sedentary". What does that entail? That is over my BMR so isn't it already factoring in sedentary activity? And yet, if I link it to withings it counts my steps as exercise and deducts it so that my net is lower, as if I can eat back those…

Activity Levels?
So... I'm fairly sure I must have a higher metabolism or more muscle than it seems the activity levels account for. Because the calories it recommends to "Maintain weight" are definitely too few. My mother actually quit using this site for the same reason, she needed to eat several hundred more calories in a day than…
