Maintaining in college?
So the time has (finally) come for me to leave my childhood home and live on my own and attend college. I'm just a tad worried about the notorious "freshman 15". However, it's not as if I'm going to be gorging myself of pizza, cookies and ice cream day in and day out seeing as my weight loss journey has long since…

No fanfare for achieving weight loss goal?
Does MyFitnessPal really NOT give any fanfare or congratulations for achieving your weight loss goal? Fitbit said, "Goal met. Woohoo!" Nothing from MFP? MFP got me there more than my Fitbit did! Thanks, MFP! :-)

Minimizing weight gain after eating below 1500 calories
I started cutting weight at 1500 calories at the start of the year and then slowly started eating less and less till I got the the point of around 1000 calories per day. I find with water weight fluctuations I weigh in around 135-140lbs at 6'0. I think my metabolism may be shot, how do I bring it back up to speed without…

calorie cycling for maintenance
In another discussion, it occurred to me that I am doing this. Not for any purposeful metabolic related purposes, just because it is easier to do than coming up with the magic formula for a maintenance diet. So I try to be reasonable but eat what I want a day or two and then throw in a day that is pretty much straight out…
