Looking back and Just wanting to say Thanks
Early in the year of 2016 I joined MFP. I was obese and depressed and my health was at risk. Many of the folks in this community reached out with suggestions and support and especially patience. Over a lifetime of dieting I had accumulated a bunch of ideas, some were correct and some weren't. Most of the people here…

Looking for Insight on loose skin
Was wondering about people’s experiences with loose skin and how much ( if at all ) it tightened up over time after hitting maintenance. I lost 40lbs in 5-6 months and have lost about 7lbs more over the past 6 months and have had my stomach tighten up quite a bit but still a ways to go. I know it will never be perfect as I…

How consistently do you eat calories each day?
I'm just wondering how other people maintain and how much everyone's experiences vary and what a normal attitude to this is? Do you eat roughly your maintainance calories each day, do you try to even it out over the week, or do you have a different way of working out what you need?

Binging on maintenance
Hello! I recently lost 100 pounds (from 265 to 165), and I did it possibly “too fast” in about eight months. I didn’t necessarily mean to go so fast, but by cutting out carbs and desserts during weight loss phase and going to gym and weight training 6x a week, it came off quickly. I have been trying to be in maintenance…

Would this be a “recomp”?
Please forgive the slightly rambling post. I have been using MFP for several years now and have lost 11kg, dropping my BMI from 27 to 23. For the last year or maybe two my scale-weight has been essentially the same, so I guess I’ve found maintainance. My exercise varies but is a mix of cardio, body weight training,…

Loosing weight while training for a marathon
How can I loose weight while I am training for a marathon? When I reduce my carbs I feel tired when I do my runs. Last year I was training for a marathon and I’ve put on weight(4kg). Everyone was saying that I look like I’ve lost weight and I assume this was because my muscle weight increased which is ok. This year I’ve…

5’1 girls—Maintaining weight
Back story: I lost a lot of weight after my binge eating stabilized and I maintained around 105-107 for many years. I maintained my weight on roughly 1600 cals regardless of activity level.

Switching to maintenance all at once? What should I expect?
Hi there, I decided to switch to maintenance as I am at a normal BMI. I didn’t follow advice I have heard of slowly increasing the calories, I just simply started eating at maintenance one day after months of eating at a caloric deficit. I’ve started lifting so I am eating a high protein diet at my maintenance calories to…

How do you conquer the fear of gaining?
I'm new to maintenance. After all the work and dedication it has taken to lose 76 pounds I'm afraid of gaining. This is really a mindset issue I know. The intellectual side of my brain knows to simply add in more calories and monitor my weight trend in the same way I did while losing. I know the scale will fluctuate and I…

50+ male after the holidays
Hello fellow calorie counters! I did my historic best this year, meaning that I was less than 6lbs above my goal weight on 1/1. I typically cut in January, and it should be a pretty easy job this time. So, yay me! One thing I do in Jan/Feb is drop the booze completely. Just giving up that craft beer alone helps me lose…
