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…

How long to maintain before buying new clothes?
I’m nowhere near my goal currently, but my clothes are loosening up and I’m starting to dread living in clothes that don’t fit for the next few months while I lose weight. I’m planning to save some money to buy new clothes when I’m in my maintenance range. But should I maintain for a while before I buy new things, since so…

hormone therapy and metabolism (transgender)
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. My metabolism has increased, but I’m not sure by how much or what gender to use to calculate my caloric needs. There aren’t enough studies to give an answer. Despite my metabolism increasing, my…

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…

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…

Exercise calories in maintenance
I'm looking for advice on how to deal with exercise calories in maintenance. I haven't been eating back my exercise calories while losing, but I'm now ready to maintain. However, I'm worried about the inexactness of exercise calorie estimates. Most of my exercise calories come from walking, measured by MapMyWalk, with some…

Heretic Asks - How to stop logging and keep your goal weight
I’m looking for success stories of people who stopped logging and maintained their goal weight. That could be a heretical question bc so many people do keep logging forever. I mean, obv this community is built around a really great logging app. Now I’m very glad that forever logging works for you if you do that. Seriously,…

Falling off the wagon(again)
Hey MFP’s! I’m not sure if it’s this whole Corona pandemic. But working in a hospital, it’s making it really difficult to eat better. It’s basically grab what you can and go. Any advice would be fantastic! Thank you 😊

Always always ravenous!!
Someone help! I am ALWAYS hungry!!! It’s been detrimental to trying to lose weight and I am getting so discouraged! Just last night, a lightbulb went off, and I wondered if it could be connected to an overactive thyroid?? My last TSH reading (in March) was 0.52. I am on 150 mcg Synthyroid daily. Could this be the culprit??…

To add calories or not to add....
So I few weeks ago, I reached my goal weight. I weigh every day and was below goal for four or five days, but since then I’ve been 0.2 above, 0.5 above, or maybe just a few ounces below. After being at goal a few days, I had begun to add calories back (100), but I’m wondering if I shouldn’t add back until I’ve been at or…

How can I eat 3000 calories and not feel extremely full
I eat pretty clean but find it hard to consume my caloric maintenance of 3000 calories. I’m 5 foot 10 149 pounds. And about a month ago I picked up cycling on my road bike. I have been riding like a mad man, I love it. But I’m starting to notice a down trend in weight and I’m not really trying to loose weight, I just want…

Is it really as simple as keep counting and weighing?
I'm experiencing a strange feeling. I feel like what I'm doing to lose weight (counting everything, weighing daily, a fair amount of exercise) is something that I can happily keep on doing forever if I have to. The inconvenience is very small, compared to the pay off. Currently I don't really feel hungry, for example…

Losing too much weight?
My original weight loss goal was to get to 108lbs (from a starting weight of 150lbs), and I met that goal about 1.5-2 months ago. It took me about a year and a half to get there. I still wasn’t happy with the way I looked, though, so I wanted to keep going. (The healthy weight range for my 5’0” height is 95-128 lbs, just…
