Goal calories
I never ended my workout this morning on my Apple Watch. 6 hours later it’s says I burned 1k plus calories. My fitness pal added this to my daily calorie allowance. I wasn’t working out for 6 hours but I still burned those calories. Aren’t those just calories I need anyway and are part of my goal without exercise? Isn’t it…

Continue weight loss or begin recomp?
Hey everyone! I am only 4 pounds away from my 100-pound goal (yay!). Once I'm there, I will be at the verrrryyyy tip top of a healthy BMI. I'm feeling pretty good about myself, but I'm definitely still way flabby (although part of that is saggy skin that I'm just stuck with until I can afford surgery). I do like the idea…

Having a hard time finding the calorie balance
I started out in Feb at 210 and lost 30 pounds over 7 months to end up at 180 in early Sept. I've fluctuated between 178 and 180 for two months now, which is great. My doctor said I should stop losing and it wouldn't kill me to gain a few pounds back. I'm not modifying my diet at all (not much), just eating less. Mainly…

Maintenance at a higher weight
I am 5 ft. 8.5 inches and female, and 4 years ago, I weighed 147-150 lbs. and I was happy with that. Now, I weigh a steady 158- 161 lbs. and I'm not real happy with that but I'm learning to live with it. I used to eat up to half my caloric quota in sugar in the form of bakery cookies. One thing I've done successfully…

Weight loss after 10 weeks of no alcohol when all else has failed...
Hi, I was hoping to get opinions/thoughts/advice on peoples experiences of losing weight after giving up alcohol. A bit of background info might help. I’m a 45 year old male, 5’ 10 in who has, in the past, been a regular moderate drinker (although some may say heavy rather than moderate I guess). Quite often I'd be…

How was your adjustment into maintenance?
I just had a little practice in maintenance during a two week diet break that I am coming to the end of (tomorrow is my last day). I kind of let loose a little too much and went over calories most days and didn't log at times, however I think it was worth it so that I had the break and extra nutrition to build back up my…

Breastfeeding vs calorie counting
I'm a first time mom and my son is now 4 months old. I've always been in great shape because I'm a ballerina and I teach childrens dance classes. But having a baby has really complicated my metabolism, cravings, appetite, self control among other things. I quickly returned to my pre pregnancy weight but the shape of my…

Unsuccessful transition
I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the proper forum, so I aplogize but I could really use all of your help. I was transitioning into maintenance for a few months.

Gaining while training for a HM
I'm training for my first half-marathon (1 month to go), and I've definitely fallen into the weight gain issue that many articles discuss (see below). It's just really hard not to over-eat after a long run. You need to eat more the day of, but I've been ravenous the day after, which is usually a rest day where you don't…

Maintainers with Fitbit how accurate is your data?
Just curious how accurate in maintenance you think your fitbit "calorie in and out" is? I don't really use MFP or Fitbit but the TDEE method to maintain but I do log daily. It is interesting to me to see that while I was losing my TDEE was 1850. Fitbit generally thinks I should eat 2100 or 2200 most days depending on my…

Summer weight gain
So I’m getting back on track and waking up from the summer stupor. I hit my goal in May and gained 5lbs by the end of summer. Really seems counterintuitive since I was working so hard to feel comfortable in my bathing suit by summer! LoL! Anyone else gain weight in the summer or is it just me?

Did anyone else decide the last few pounds just weren’t worth it?
I’m a 5’10 female and used to be 128#-130# in college. I’d classify myself as sedentary overall, though I do physical activities like hiking and surfing on weekends. My weight stays between 150-155 pounds when I don’t track calories. However, I always seem to be in this vicious yo yo cycle of getting back down to about…
