Is My Fitness Pal correct?
I'm a bit confused. Myfitnesspal says I need 1650 calories a day to maintain my weight, and then the american cancer site says i need 1780 to maintain. Not much of a difference but my question is which site is correct? today I had maybe 20 more calories then what mfp says I need. To them I'd be an ounce heavier if I ate…

Binge eating and what to do about it...
Hey MPFers! A little background, I recently lost about 60 pounds (YAY!) but I am finding the struggle to maintain the weight loss to be much much more of a battle then it was to loose it to begin with. To loose the weight I simply found a good deficit, and ran about 5 miles a day. One year later, 50 pounds gone. I didn't…

Is my body more secure in maintanance?!
Of course I could be at more of a deficit than I realise or is there another reason to lose faster now? Will I suddenly put more on? Anyone experienced this when going to maintenance? Is it just a case of my body being happy I'm eating more and so feels safer to not conserve fat anymore? I was expecting to put on the 5lbs…

Lost 40+ lbs, in maintenance, but I am ALWAYS hungry...
...and slowly sliding back into bad habits. I used to be vigilant about logging every day, but now I haven't even been doing that either. Is this normal? Am I falling into the "getting too comfortable in my own skin" thing? I took a week off from regular logging and then decided to backtrack log what I could remember, and…

How many can say they used to overindulge this time of year? I'm not saying all of it is going to be moderation and weight consciousness, but for the most part I would like to be at my ideal weight sooner rather than later. Any tips or tricks on how to crack the whip on yourself?

How is this even possible? Please help me understand.
When I first started losing weight, I did not count calories at all for the 3 months. I was winging it but I am sure I did not get even 1,000 calories. I lost 32 pounds in those 3 months. Since then, I started counting and tracking my calories. I never went over 1200 for awhile because well...I was scared to. I exercise…

Logging Weight while in maintenance
Do you actually log your weights while in maintenance? I have just started maintaining. I have been the same weight for the last four weeks. Now I've dipped under by a couple of pounds.
