Very Close to Goal, looking to Maintain
After a long road to success, I'm about 10 Lbs from my goal. I have gotten pretty good at the losing part fo this. And I got good at it by learning along the way (the forums were a big help). Is there a thread on getting started with maintaining? Something like the "roadmap" thread that many people often linked/ bumped…

Maintaining Weight - Standard Plan
Just thought I'd share this, as this is what is working for me now: Step 1 Once you reach target, add 250 calories a day to your existing daily calorie intake. This means if you’ve been having 1,250 calories each day, you should now have 1,500 calories a day. Step 2 After a week, weigh yourself on your usual scales. You’ll…

How to start with maintenance - sudden jump?
Hi all, I'm sure this has been asked over and over but my search didn't yield a satisfactory answer. I am about 8 lbs from my goal and I'm considering going into maintenance for a couple of weeks.

Maintaining is hard work.
You can't exactly under-eat because you'd lose weight but of course you can't over-eat because then you'd gain. And there's no additional caloric intake so you're not getting bigger at the gym either. It's like a weight-control limbo... a balancing act. Am I the only one?

Perception vs. Reality
Since January of this year I have lost around 30 lbs and have went down several sizes. I know I am smaller because of my clothes now saying small instead of large, I actually have hip bones that I can feel and people's comments.

Skinny fat, lean bulk the way to go?
Okay I don't like term skinny fat but I think that's the only way to describe my body right now. I'm 5'1 and 106lbs. Not sure what my bodyfat percentage is but based on comparison with pictures on the net, I would say I'm about 21-24%? Been lifting inconsistently for a year, just started being more focused this month. I…

Maintaining, but still losing
Okay, so here's the deal. I'm 5. ft. 10 in. and reached my goal weight of 68 kg. pretty easily, but I just keep losing. Should I panic?

Where to put in extra calories.
I reached my target weight a few weeks ago and decided to focus on strength as opposed to cardio exercises, thinking it would slow my weight loss automatically. However, I've lost an extra 3lb since then which is quite fast (I think!) given I now weigh 8st 4lb. I've really grown to love my exercise regime. I feel stronger,…

HI All, I read up on a dieting suggestion to have a major COOKING/meal prep day so that all meals would be basically setup ahead of time - I'm giving this a try now. My plan was to line up 21 Tupperware containers that would each be filled with a meal based on a Meat, Vege, & Carb source (each meal is 400-500 cal) Here's…

Hating the idea of maintaining.
I don't know why but I hate the idea that I'm done losing weight. When I was losing weight, I felt good knowing I was eating less than others...that I was getting skinnier while they were not. But now I don't need to get any skinnier and need to start eating more... the problem is when I see people eating way less than me…

Suddenly can't remember what I eat!
I've logged basically everything I've eaten for a year a half. Easy to do and helpful for me. Hit my weight loss goal (which I never expected to). This is the first time I've ever tried to lose weight (I'm 54). All of a sudden I can't remember what I've eaten. Not that I don't still love food (I do). Or that I'm not eating…
