Switched to maintaining, excited to lift again!!!
I joined this site abut 5 months ago with the intention of losing 20lbs by graduation. I am female, 23 years, starting weight of 142lbs and 5'3. I lost about 10lbs, 1 pant size, (now a 5/or 27 E) and lots of inches! I have not reached my "goal weight" of 122lbs, but I think now that may have been unrealistic for me. I want…

Reverse Dieting - Slip Up
Hey guys, I'm doing a Reverse Diet and it went well for the first two weeks. I established my current metabolic capacity and am now slowly increasing my calories with minimal weight gain. I'm also doing 2 HIIT sessions and 5 days of training. But, this Saturday I slipped up and ate well over my current caloric level. Would…

Earned calories from exercise? Has anyone tested these?
I hit my goal a few months back and have been working on maintaining and learning to eat healthy on a daily basis. So far it's going great. I set a target of 1850 calories a day (from talking to my nutritionist and doing my own research). Usually I come in just under that in terms of calorie intake. What I have never…

How Much Should I Pay Attention to Sugar Intake?
If my sugar intake is like 70% from fruits, how much should I keep track of sugar? I usually go over by nearly 30 grams on days when I have extra fruit in my diet! How many of you actually pay attention to this number? Obviously it is important for maybe diabetics or people who eat refined sugars, but what about people in…

How am I recovering?
Hey all, currently trying to maintain my weight and recover from an eating disorder. So I've been eating 2200-2800 calories every day and I don't really look any heavier. And if I try to eat any less than that, I get grouchy, sick, and tired. I walk about 5-6 miles everyday, I lift very light weights, and I stretch often.…

Am I on the right track?
I'm a 19 years old female, 159cm and 43kg (according to my country's BMI calculator I'm not underweight). So here's the problem, I eating 1640 calories daily and doing some light aerobic dance exercise everyday and I normally climb the stairs instead of taking the lift. I'm not gaining or losing weight eating that can it…

How much under goal should I go?
Hi all, I am pretty close to my goal weight now (yay!) but I know that as I increase my calories again, I will have a bit of a bounce back in weight. How much under my goal weight should I go so that I level out roughly where I want to be? Goal is 54kg (about 118lbs) and I am 159cm - not sure if that makes a difference.…

Within range
Hey Guys, I have reached my goal weight. However I recently gained a bit of it back. Every time I come close to reaching my goal again I almost self sabotage. I don't know how else to explain it. I will just get lazy and throw away my healthy eating. And then I gain more, and lose it. Once I'm coming close to my goal I…

No energy to workout
I've reached my goal of 120 pounds a while ago ( i may have dipped below by a pound or two) and now I'm on maintenance. I work out about 5 times a week for about 30 minutes, mainly from FitnessBlender videos. I regard myself as sedentary or lightly active because I am a student and aside from my 30 minutes of exercise I…

Did not plan Maintenance - oops
I did not make any big plan to transition into maintenance. Kind of was in a happy, yeah-new-me, zone. Now I know why people say it can be hard! Probably as a backlash to almost-3 years of tracking, my binge-eating disorder has returned...like after 2 decades! I managed to get out of the cycle quicker than before, now that…

Creating positive body image??
I've always had a bad body image, although I haven't been overweight since about 9th grade (20 years old now). I've been in the normal weight range but recently lost 15 lbs from 125-110 and feel much better about how I look. My biggest issue right now is my stomach...it's not huge, but I almost always feel bloaty. I'm…

Need more calories but not hungry
I hit my ideal weight last week after about a month or so losing weight. The app was brilliant in helping me out and seeing what fuel i was putting into my body. Truth be told I had little problem hitting my weight apart from a few hungry nights when I had to say no to some foods. Since monday ive switched to maintaining…

How to maintain my weight??
I am finally where I want to be,well I was until I started losing more weight. I workout every day for an hour. I have my calorie intake set at 1,340. But once I workout my net goes down. It is so hard for me to believe that I should be eating back my calories burned. If I eat the 1,340 plus the calories I burn while…

Should I Up Calories?
I have been trying to come off of maintenance for about two months but still don't feel comfortable with my diet being stable. I have been working in about 100 calories per week since January but still seem to be dropping. The issue is, I don't know if I am actually dropping weight from one week to another or if it is…

Exercise calories in maintenance?
I am inching so close to maintenance that I have started thinking about it. Do you all eat back your exercise calories when you are maintaining? It makes sense to me that you would since you aren't looking for a deficit anymore but I was just curious what people who are already there do. Thanks!

Eating A Lot but Not Much Calorically?
Hi, I just lost 60lbs and am upping calories to maintenance (19, 5'7ish, 140). I have been slowly getting toward my maintenance but since I came home on break I have been going off my meal plan to eating slightly less because I am not sure the calories in my home cooked meals yet (it'll take some time to find a happy…

maintain weight but build muscle?
I am very close to my goal weight. I don't really want to get smaller but I am still at 29% body fat. My goal weight is 140lbs and I'm currently 144. I really want to get more lean but not necessarily smaller. Is this possible? And what should I do to achieve that goal?

Carbs?
So MFP wants me to eat around 220 something carbs and 89g of protein does this seems realistic? and not sure if i know how to eat that many carbs or protein, kind of hard since i cook the food and my parents don't get chicken much or fish only roti and brown rice.

Not again....amenorrhea :(
I was worried this would happen. Now I fear it has and I'm pretty angry and upset about it... I think my periods have stopped because of low body fat/over exercising. The reason I say this is because I went through this before (in college, many many years ago). Last time, I saw a gyno, had to gain some weight and they gave…

Cheat Days?
I am nearing the end of my weight loss and trying to get ready for maintenance. During the calorie deficit, I've had a cheat day every week where I eat whatever I want (within reason) and don't worry about logging and it's really helped me mentally to not feel deprived or overly obsessive (which is hard to do when you're…

Reached my goal, now what?
So I reached my goal, I had this stubborn stomach fat I was trying to get ride of and with the help of MFP I was able to achieve that. I've always been really active running about 6-8 miles 5-6 times a week, I do it cause it makes me feel good and it is not forced, I just really enjoy running, and I also lift weights for…

switching from weight loss to maintenance
So I have 5 lbs left to go and then I am starting to try maintenance. I am really scared about switching to maintenance from loss. I feel like I only know how to lose and how to gain. How do you make sure you'll stay the same weight? (I'm coming off of a large calorie deficit ~500, I also exercise about 30 min half an hour…

Question for "Athletic Build" ladies
If you lift heavy or were born with a more athletic/"stocky" build, what is your height and goal weight? As a 5'4" woman, I am trying to figure out where I should set my goal weight...I'd like to be realistic, since I have always had very muscular legs and a trainer told me I had a more athletic body type (under all the…
