Maintenance yo-yo
This seems to be the way I've been maintaining: Go on a cheating streak (usually a weekend) --> gain 3-6lb (includes water) --> freak out --> get back to counting and eating 1,500 net --> lose the weight by the end of the week --> Start weekend again. Is this normal?

Recommend a good HRM?
I'm 8 lbs from my goal weight and the idea of maintaining seems daunting, especially with the holidays right around the corner.

How did you decide on your maintenance weight?
I've lost 24 pounds and reached my first goal of "normal" BMI a few pounds ago. Although I'm thrilled with this loss, I'd still like to lose more weight mainly because my stomach is still so flabby. That's where all my weight goes, plus I had a baby...6 years ago :tongue: I'm not sure what my ideal weight would be, but I…

Off diet for months and I'm the exact same weight
So for the past few months I've barely exercised, predominately due to physical problems and depression knocking the willpower out of me, and I've eaten pretty much whatever, straying away from my usual 'diet' food and allowing myself just about anything.

Body fat percentage/Maintaining weight
I want to go from 28% body fat to 15%. According to my calculation I have 35 pounds of body fat as of today and would need to only have 19 pounds of body fat to reach my goal of 15%. So I'm assuming I have to loose an additional 16 pounds of fat but gain 16 pounds of muscle so that I can reach my goal with the same weight?…
