Maintenance friends
Hello, I'm looking for friends that are in maintenance or trying to be. I'm coming back from a little workout hiatus and do well when I have some mutual encouragement to get my workout goals in. I'm at the upper end of where I'm comfortable with weighing. If I lose a few more pounds I'm ok with that but I'm trying not to…

Maintenance & Menopause: The Struggle is Real
Hi, Sometimes a girl just needs to vent, ya know? First, some background on my most recent weight loss. I took about a full year to lose 30 pounds (173 to 143 lbs.). I didn't use any "special diet", just calories in/calories out, while paying attention to getting enough protein for my age. Once I hit 30 pounds of loss, I…

Hit my first mini goal today!
I've lost my first 20lbs! 21.6 to be exact. I even broke out some of my "what if pants" and was able to wear them. I cut almost all carbs out this past week and learned my body loves sugar and carbs if I eat just a small amount I maintain or gain weight. I'm going need all the motivation I can get because I love carbs 😁…

This feels weird
I hit my weight loss goal this past Thursday. I went from 388.6 to 235. Took me a little over 11 months. It's all I thought about. I wanted this sooooo badly. I got back into running which I NEVER thought was possible. I'm now training to run my first 5km race in 16 years. I'm up to 5.5 km a day (the days I run) It just…

Hard times.

If your goal weight was 120 lbs, what would your +/- be?
I'm not trying to be obsessive, but if my goal is 120 lbs, how much latitude do you give yourself? Is 118 lbs at goal? Is 122 lbs at goal? Where would the limits be if this were you? Thanks!

Please I need answers
I am trying to find out for a friend of mine how do I get rid of her pie symbol which will show how many carbs and fat or sugar she has within that day. She doesn't remember how it got there and I have tried to get rid of it and nothing I do takes it off. Some suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. :)

Obsessed with recipes, cooking, meal planning, cooking utensils
I've been maintaining for a couple of years now, healthy BMI of ~23 down from ~35. Very pleased with this overall, although still can't really believe it after so many years before of trying and failing. However, one thing I noticed is that in that time I have become a LOT more interested in recipes, cooking, cookbooks,…

I was close to 200 pounds a few years ago. I am a 27 year old female, 5’4. I lost a lot of weight and was at 115 pounds. I wanted to gain about 10 pounds because I felt that I was “too skinny”. I did that, but for the past year or so, I have struggled with not constantly thinking about food and gaining some of the weight…

They say it'll be easy...Why am I not losing the water weight?
People say losing water weight is easy. It'll go away in a little time. It hasn't been that way for me at all. I've reduced my sodium from 3,000MG perday to 1,850Mg perday. My carbs I increase from 145g perday to 190g perday. Why am I not losing the water. I sure did cut a lot of sodium. I've been cutting for now the…
