I'm about 4 or 5 pounds off my goal weight and want to start building muscle.
I'm 27 and 4 foot 11 and a 110 pounds female. My goal is to get to around 105 pounds and hopefully start building my glutes, but I'm just unsure where to go.. should I get to my goal weight and start eating more or to build my glutes or is it possible for me to build muscle and lose fat at the same time. I've been lifting…

Help with TDEE/activity level
I’m switching over to maintenance, or at least working my way up to it, but keep getting wildly different numbers for my TDEE. I think the main issue is I have no idea what to put my activity level as when calculating my TDEE. Aside from excercise 1-2 days a week which I know doesn’t get calculated into my TDEE, I work…

Not sure about maintenance calories
Hey guys, I weigh about 58 kg right now (170 cm tall), have an office job but have to travel abroad for this job. It involves a lot of eating out at unhealthy restaurants (which I have to join). I try to stay as healthy as possible and within about 2100 calories, but it almost always becomes more of a 2500 figure I believe…

I HATE MY DOUBLE CHIN!!!!!
I have read articles that say “do this exercise” or “stretch this way” and it will go away. Other articles say there’s no way to target a double chin, you just gotta get healthier and see if it goes away with other body fat. I literally feel like my neck has no definition. Like it goes from the nape of my neck and just…

Long timers: I need help after six years (yes, TMI will be involved)
I had successfully maintained for six years until January. At that point I put on 10 pounds and ran into two problems. I'm looking for help. The weight came on very suddenly but I haven't been able to lose it. That has happened to me several times after traveling over the years, but it's always gone away. It felt like…

stupid binge urge
So Monday I had an excuse to let myself have a big day; kids' (multiples) birthday and had cake. ice cream and other snacks. Kind of ridiculous amounts of some things, but I figured it's just one day and with some of my activity I can average it back out pretty quickly. I did walk 6 miles that night to help offset a…

Body weight planner - how accurate is it for your loss?
It's a tool to help you figure out calories to lose weight, but I thought it would be interesting to see how accurate it is by having those of us in maintenance plug in our starting weights, activity, increase in activity, goal and time frame. You have to set it as starting now and make the goal date as far in the future…

Happy scale - red and green mind games
Hi, anyone else find Happy Scale a little annoying for the way that it makes downward trends green and upward red even if they are counter to your goal? Might not be explaining myself very well but my goal is to maintain under 122. In the last couple of months I have bounced around a fair amount. Dropped too low to 111 and…

Tips to not gain fat after surgery?
Long story short I am going to have back surgery in a few weeks. The timing, which I know is my choice, isn't the best. I am in the middle of transforming my body.

Reaching Target then Maintaining it...
Hi everyone. So I have recently got to my target weight of 60kg after 39 weeks of "flexible" but mindful eating. I started off around 1800 calories and reduced to about 1300-1400 in the last few weeks or so. I am wondering how people cope/manage with maintaining their weight? Are you less strict with yourself or more…

What are your long term maintenance strategies for the rest of your life?
Don't diet. I threw all of my Before pix in the garbage can. I threw all of my dieting books in the garbage can. I'm not starting over gain. I don't believe in food resets. I believe in a brain reset. Constant restarts and food resets are a total disconnect for the brain. If dieting really worked, it would take one diet,…

Splurge?
I was sitting here, having my morning coffee, laughing to myself because I splurged! I had two (count them; 2!) packets of Splenda in my cup, and considered it splurging. "Hey! That's 8 calories right there." Then, I started thinking about what "splurging" meant to me now, and realized that prior to changing my lifestyle…

Hi everyone. I’m actually in the process of losing weight. Based on what I’ve found online my calculations say I should consume 1400 calories to maintain my weight.
