Dad Bod
So, after 3 years, 2 kids, and a new desk job, I've gained an additional 10lbs and 4 inches on the waist line. (You'd think I was the one who got pregnant!) I'm 5'6, 160lbs and quite happy now that I've plateaued. My lifestyle hasn't caused me to gain or lose weight in the last 6-12 months. The problem? I put on fat, not…

Fit3D Scan Poor "Body Shape Rating" - is this something I can fix?
I recently joined a gym which as a 3D body scan and decided to give it a try. The scan confirmed what I already knew... that I have an "apple" shape and that my trunk is wide compared to the rest of my body. I've always been shaped this way even when I weighed less. Then scan gave me a 34 out of 100 for my body shape, with…

Passed a year a couple of days ago
My goal was to lose until my BMI was under 25 and keep it below. I got there March 1 of 2018, so two days ago was my 1 year anniversary. That's a big deal as in years past I couldn't stay below goal even with goals that were higher. I am 5'8", so goal was 164 after starting at 223 in 2017. I have actually kept drifting…

When to switch to maintenance
I am three pounds away from my “ultimate” goal weight and at the high end of what I’m going to consider as my goal range. I’m assuming that if I add back calories slowly, I’ll probably lose a few more pounds. Is it best to be at that “ultimate” goal before beginning to add back calories, or should I start now? Any advice…

Do I really have to eat 1400 calorie forever?
I'm 4'11, 110 pounds. I walk at least 10,000 steps a day, but I also have a desk job; I go to the gym about 3 times a week but I tend to do weights not cardio. I've been told that's sedentary, so I'm going with that to be safe. I think my bmr is about 1150, which at sedentary (x1.2) would put my total calorie needs at…

Need advice from successful maintainers :) please
Hi. I am a 5'6, 48 yo old female who went from 193 pounds to about 137 pounds, July 2016 to maybe April 2017. After that, I went up and down from 135 (spring 2018) low to 151 (January 2018). I stopped weighing my food and logging in Fall 2018 (busy teaching new grade level, tired of obsessing over food, etc...) and finally…

Honestly I have been logging what I eat more to see what nutrients and types of food I'm eating too much of/could be eating more of. MFP gives me 2050 calories to eat a day and I usually do…
