Is it considered healthy, a cheat or what?
If my meals consists of foods deemed unhealthy, like fried food or fast food, but I still stay within my calories, is this still considered a cheat? I may be within my calories but I’m not eating anything that’s good for me, so I feel I’m at a crossroads. For example, I really like instant ramen (Top Ramen, Cup o Noodles,…

How did you transition to maintenance
I'm 15 pounds from goal. My plan was always to stay at 1.5 pounds a week until I hit goal and then switch to maintenance. But looking at maintenance calories compared to current calories and that seems like a lot of calories. I was thinking switch the goal to 1 pound a week and get used to that. Of course, I almost never…

Plateau due to new exercise?
I don't really consider this a real plateau as it has only been a week or so, but I'm curious. I started adding some jog/run intervals to my morning walk after I did a 5k last week. Pretty much as soon as that happened, my weight stabilized. No daily fluctuations, scale is the exact same weight every day. I haven't seen…

Fitbit Adjustment with User Entered Calorie Goal
If I increase my calories goal from what MFP calculates, will that change the Fitbit adjustment? MFP gives me 1410 to maintain and my average Fitbit adjustment is about 250. That's the average, but it really varies day to day. For 2 reasons, I want to increase my base calories. One is that I believe, based on calculations,…

Did your face fill back out in maintenance?
I’ve only lost 13 lbs so far, but I’m already seeing more lines in my face, and I look older and tired. I’ve read that some people who have seen the same thing, see their face fill back out a little in maintenance. How many have experienced this? I’m hoping it’s temporary, maybe from the calorie deficit? I am 46, so maybe…

Do you accept that you'll have to log for the rest of your life(or atleast the foreseeable future)?
I've been thinking about this because I've wondered if I could stop and still be successful and honestly I don't think I can. It's always been count calories to lose weight, slack off and regain 7, 15, 30 pounds. I accept that I'll have days where I won't or cant log, maybe even longer. But if I don't want to regain what…

Unrealistic expectations??
Aside from losing what I had gained during the holidays, I have stayed pretty much the same weight since Thanksgiving. Being 5'9" at 135-136 lbs. I guess that's a good weight but my brain still wants to get lower, like more between 130-132. Should I shut my brain down and consider that my scale is maybe trying to tell me…

How do you know it’s actual weight gain vs water weight?
I am brand new to maintenance. I hear a lot of people say they are successful in maintenance by making sure they buckle down again (i.e. eat at a deficit) whenever they near the top of or exceed their maintenance weight range. The common wisdom is to catch weight creep early and don’t let it become permanent regain. I…
