Logging and maintaining...
This before and after shot compares my progress during the second half of my weight loss journey from 2013-19. It was taken earlier this summer. I started getting more active and eating well about 13 years ago. In that time I’ve lost nearly 130lbs in total. I yo-yoed a bit in the middle (regained about half of what I lost…

accepting yourself at a higher weight
I am 5'4. I got down to 156 lbs and seen it once on the scales. I have had my weight off for a year and a half. I always go up to 160, so I am just accepting it. I wear small clothes , sz 8 and 10s for some reason. I tried all summer to get down but maybe this is where I should be or maybe it is because I want to eat more.…

Can't count because I love my body!!
Hey guys, this issue is bothering me! Each time I try to stick to counting, a voice in my head tells me I'm fine and I look good so I don't need it, even if I gained weight! It's good that I love my body, but I don't want it to stop me from counting! The only time I counted perfectly was when I had an eating disorder and…

Anorexia in Recovery
Hi all, I'm in recovery from AN and am now using MFP as a way to monitor my intake - I am not doing this so much for myself, but more to keep accountable. Anyhoo.... if anyone else is doing the same, fancy a chat? Please no PRO-ED. Need to keep myself safe.

Pounds creeping back when transitioning to maintainence
I have been between 108-110 for 4 months, it is where I felt healthiest, most confident etc. For the 4 months it was relatively easy to maintain, but suddenly, almost overnight I began seeing weight creep back. My diet has not changed, I eat the same foods with 1 cheat day a week, similar calorie intake, similar exercise,…

Hungry all the time
I've gotten in really great shape in the last six months. I've lost about 20 lbs by eating very clean and training 6 times a week. Not only am I proud of the shape I'm in, but also proud of the fact that I had been consistently exercising great discipline and self control specially with my nutrition and meal planning. But…

Dealing with regaining weight
I was 11 stone in 2015 when I was 15 and dropped to 8 stone 5 when I was 16. I realise now that it was a rapid change to my body and that I lost the weight in an unhealthy way- restricting my calories and foods that I ate. I’m now 18 and I’ve been putting a lot of the weight back on these past few months due to stress, and…

Almost time for next step!
Just a little over 5 years ago, I waddled through the door here, nearly 90 pounds heavier. I got close to goal weight a couple of years ago, and after a fair sized hiccup, I'm within five pounds again, and I will not miss this time. I became a runner during my journey, but failed to lift much and paid the price some. I'm…

Trying something new!
For three years, I've been slowly losing weight. I've lost 65 pounds over that time. Most of the time, I was tracking calories/macros (not always.) This past couple of months, I've managed to maintain my weight without tracking, which is awesome! But I know the holidays are coming up, and this is an area where I've had…

Blew It!
I am so mad at myself. I reached my goal weight last Friday and then have done nothing but cheat since. Now I'm 4 pounds up. It will probably take me months to loose.

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…
