Started out with not much to lose? Advice?
I started at 144 and my goal is 125, I'm at 136.2. For the better part of the last 5 years I have been between 132-136 and it's been a real challenge getting below 130. I'm just wondering has anyone else been successful at losing 10 - 15 pounds and keeping it off? I'm working out for 45 - 60 minutes a day, doing cardio…

What did you look like when you started maintaining?
Hello all! First of all, if you're maintaining, congratulations on reaching your goal and continuing to try and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

60g of sugar???
So, I have gained back 10lbs. The first time around I lost 40 lbs by doing the south beach diet. I recently came back to MFP to start tracking again and i noticed the sugar allowance has gone up to 60 g a day based on my current weight, and me wanting to lose a pound a week. It used to be about 33 g a day. I'm conflicted…

Do I have a problem or am I just being…

The fear of maintaining is putting me off losing weight...

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.…

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.

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…

I have been trying to come off of maintenance for about two months but still don't feel comfortable with my diet being stable.

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!
