Maintaining Weight as a Lifestyle change
So, this is my third time at this stage. I am not working out regularly. I am more of a casual walker who participates in 3Ks to support causes. I lost 55 pounds and am in the 150s. My biggest weakness is sugar. I have been introduced to the Keto chocolate (Lily's chocolate) which has made a difference. One other practice…

So, I have been put on metformin by my doctor. I am following a diet plan and it is working. My question is, have any of you taken metformin? If so, did your doctor take you off it when you lost the weight?

Have you changed your original Goal Weight? Up or down?

Maintaining is Scary
I'm 5'2" and female. I started at 215. April 7th will be my one year anniversary. I have lost 87lbs. My goal was 129 and I'm 125-128 (it varies a lot day to day). So I beat my goal. I am trying now to transition into maintenance. But it's terrifying. I'm scared to weight more as I'm trying to figure out my new calories,…

Weight gain trying to find maintenance

Did you get enough to eat at your goal weight, or did your food allowance make you grumpy?
Did you have to readjust your goal weight to be happy? I hear about former models and slim people never feeling happy because they were hungry all the time, but I wonder if it's because they didn't burn off enough calories to eat more or if their muscle tone was too low (sorry, I hope that makes sense!). I see people on…

Just how important is protein now?
Hi! I've reached my goal weight (30 kg/66 lbs down, yay) and am now trying to find my maintenance calories, which is taking a while, but that's fine.
