Maintaining but always feeling hungry all the time.
The last 2-3 months I've done well, I've kept my hard earned lost weight off, but everyday I felt more hungier and hungier. I naturally increased by calorie limit everyday, but can't go up much higher, I dont know how much longer I can keep up with this torture lifestyle. If I return to eating "normally" it will be…

FINALLY! Now what?
So, I just went in for a check-up at the doctor's (I hadn't weighed myself for about a month and the ONE day I go to the gym to weigh myself, the scale is broken. What luck.), and apparently I have REACHED MY GOAL! I'm sorry… It just feels SO good to say that! YAY! At 5 feet and 1 1/2 inches, I am 100.5 pounds (don't add…

Struggle with "maintenance"..... time for honesty
So I have been at this MFP thing for awhile now. I entered into maintenance a year ago. I have flucuations from 135 - 140. Lately it has been closer to 140 and sometimes a bit higher (like my weigh in today). I have been so afraid of gaining the weight back that I have left my calorie goal at 1450/day. Wait.... What?!?…

Went from 169 to 185 in 2 1/2 months :(
That's just so much weight to put on in such a little amount of time. I guess that's what eating a lot of unhealthy foods and eating over your macros does to you. I was trying to get down to 140 ended up getting up to 185. Has this happened to anyone else?

Maintenance Idea

Coasting into goal?
I am about 5 lbs away from my starting goal, picked out of thin air. I may go lower but anyway...This has been on my mind for awhile now. Instead of sticking with a deficit and slowing the deficit (15%, 10%, 5%) as you get nearer to goal, could you pick a goal weight and simply eat at that maintenance number as you near it…

Still having trouble eating breakfast
I've never been overweight but have been known to put on a few and take the weight off again. The only time I ever want to eat breakfast is when I'm dieting and genuinely wake up hungry. Now that I'm eating normally again, I don't feel like eating breakfast. I will make a breakfast and never finish it. It was the same when…

Trying to Maintain but slowly losing
I hit maintenance back in October/November. My goal weight was 155. I decided to try to maintain at about 152.5 - meaning a range of 150-155. That is essentially what I did through February. In late February and early March, I noticed my weight trending downward, which it has continued to do. I didn't focus on it too much…

Maintenance Help Please
Hey all! I took about a month break from tracking everything, it was causing some major issues, bringing up some old eating disorder habits etc. I was bingeing and then laying in bed all day depressed, or I'd give up when I was already over on carbs and just throw in the towel. I've decided to start back up and focus on…

Recomping, strength training advice

I'm 5' 4" and right now about 117 pounds. I have a VERY small frame and really not much muscle at all, so even at this weight I have a few fat rolls…
