Maintenance while Weight Training
So I have been weight training since the very beginning of my weight loss. I got down to just under 140 (which I know may be slightly low for my 5'7 size and being male but I look and feel great). However, now that I am in maintenance I want to just pick up strength. I have ceased counting calories which helped me stop…

struggling
Hi, I've been on MFP for well over a year now, but I've never taken advantage of this side of it. In fact, I'm not even sure how to access the message board on my phone (is that even possible) and I almost never log on on the computer so I don't know when I'll have a chance to check responses. I've been struggling a lot…

Variable exercise making eating right harder. Do TDEE?
I just started trying to maintain my weight about 2 weeks ago. I got to my goal (105 lb, 5'1" small frame) after a couple weeks of slowly raising my calories. I've been attempting to maintain since then, but I'm finding the eating aspect of it weirdly challenging. Throughout my weight loss I've used MFP's way of adding…

Having a difficult time maintaining, so confused.
So, basic info - I've lost 250ish pounds. From 428 to 168-180 (The range is part of my problem). I went to a Hydrostatic weigh-in and found that I was at 9.9% body fat when I was at 180. Now I've been trying to figure out what I need to do to maintain my weight now that I've reached my goal, and I'm having a difficult time…

What activity level am I?
So, I'm currently stuck on what Activity Level to pick. I was going to pick sedentary, but I go to the gym 1 hour a day 4 days a week. 30 Minutes of Weight lifting and 30 Minutes of cardio. It's summer vacation so I mostly spend most of my time on the computer, or just relaxing in my room. Am I sedentary or lightly active?

Eating Out Every Day and It's Effects
Hello. So I've been maintaining really well lately (and by lately I mean over a year and a half) and I'm really enthused and overjoyed to say that I no longer fear restaurant foods! I had some unhealthy opinions on restaurant foods and my attitudes towards them were mainly overwhelming fear and anxiety. I'd opt out of…

This headline is shocking! It may be all we need to read.

Anyone go by measuring tape & not the scale for maintenance?
Seeing the scale numbers fluctuate gives me way too much anxiety so I think from now on I'm going to measure myself once a week at the same exact spots and go by that. Does anyone else do this? That way I won't be able to see actual water weight on the scale.

Did you increase your calories during the last 10-15 pounds?
Hey all, I'm within 15 pounds of my goal weight, and I know some people intentionally slow their weight loss with more calories toward the end to make switching to maintenance less drastic. If you did that yourself, when in your weight loss did you start increasing your calories? If not, did you experience any small weight…

Protein vs. Vegetables
After a short vacation and days of overindulging, with constant eating in restaurants I always feel bloated and like I have gained weight. As a remedy I have always tried to detox for 3-5 days before getting back to my healthy dietary routine. During these detoxes of mine, I have always eaten only soups and salads with…

Afraid of going back
Hello All! I recently hit my goal weight (about 3 weeks ago) and I am deathly afraid of going back (again). I still use MFP to track and maintain my calories. I am fearful to eat the max of my maintenance range because I do not want to go back. I weighed myself a week later, and I lost another pound. One night this week, I…

Taking (A) Sick Day(s)
Hello all, I am wondering what the rest of you maintainers do when you get sick? How do you reassess your diets and exercise programs to allow for some extra rest time when you are feeling under the weather? Personally, I become a big baby, give in to cravings and skip workouts. Fortunately, I am not sick often, but really…

Hello! I would love help with developing a strategy to maintain my weight while on vacation with my family.

Maintenance Calories Question
For those that are maintaining, do you go by what MFP tells you for your maintenance calories? MFP set me at 1490, which is only 90 above what I was at when loosing. (MFP had me at 1200. I changed it to 1400 as 1200 was not enough for me.) I've checked a couple other sites and get between 1800 to 2090 to maintain. To give…
