scanning for vitamin nutrition info
As a newbie I wonder if anyone has thought of adding their daily Vitamin intake as a recipe to be included in one of their meals? I attempted to do so but have had no luck scanning for values on line. I saw that someone posted the question as a suggestion on Jan 7th of ??? IDK year with no answer. I tend to be stubborn as…

changing goal weight
WW says for me to weigh 145. I weigh 157 and my weight loss has stopped last couple of months. Maybe this is what I am suppose to weigh. Or maybe summertime I can lose a few more pounds. Do you think your weight stalls when you get to what you should weigh? I am fine with my weight in 150's, geez I use to be 208. I also…

Should I maintain or can I lose a few more kilos?
I started a diet about 3 months ago and have lost 5 kgs. My ideal body weight is still a bit less but looking healthy is the most important thing to me. Can you tell me if you think I should maintain now?

I'm finally starting to realize that's me in the mirror again!
Just celebrated passing 2 years of successful maintenance after a 110lb loss 2016-2017! It isn't maintenance to me anymore....it's just life...a life with no need for 2 blood pressure meds, with sugar levels back to normal readings and no desire for cigarettes .....a healthier version of what came before. Thanks to the MFP…

LOL: Weight Trending App!
So, I'm a happy Libra user, for weight trend tracking. In maintenance, because I tend to eat very unevenly, I get a lot of meaningless fluctuations, so I changed the advanced settings to use longer time horizons for smoothing & forecasts (30d smoothing, 60d forecast, as compared with 7d default values for both, for the…

Has anyone eaten at maintenance calorie level of goal weight, to lose weight?
So in the interests of being able to maintain my weight-loss and find a way to make myself comfortable during the process I am currently trying out a new idea. I used a calculator online to figure out how many calories a lightly active person at my goal weight needs to eat to maintain their weight. And I'm using that as my…

Terrified of maintenance!
I have successfully and fairly steadily lost 3 1/2 stone in about 1 year. Ideally I would love to loose another 1/2 - 1stone, but I seem to have hit a plateau. I’ve been the same weight (up and down 2-3 pounds) for the past 3 months. I am not necessarily looking for advice in breaking the plateau. I am fairly happy with my…

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…

Unintenionally Maintaining.
I've be religiously using MFP for about 8 months and have maintained my weight since then. The problem is that I would like to lose about 20lbs. Most of my extra fat sits on my waist. I'm 5'4, 45, 143lbs. I walk about 5 to 8 miles four or five days a week. I get muscly pretty easily for a woman. I lift weights about once a…

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. However, I’ve realized that my goal weight was far too low for my build and muscle mass. I’m now currently 127-129, and I have tons…

Why my weight shoots up every 2-3 days? I know I ate some extra but sometimes it doesn't shoots.
Can it be bloating? I can see my face and belly bloated someday for no reason.
