Lets see your maintenance results!
I entered maintenance in November of last year. Here is my 6-month weight chart since then. The black line on the chart is my goal weight - 171lbs for a 6'2" 40-something YO male. My reflections: December - new to maintenance, daily fluctuations probably reflective of a binge/restrict holiday mentality January - Average…

When did you know you were done ?
I picked the highest weight for bmi 24 figuring that would be my goal weight. I still have 18 1/2 pounds left to get there. But clothing size wise im happy here. Size 8 or 10 jeans size Med or large Tops Im 56 i dont think being size 4 or 6 is going to look anything but too thin. Anyone near my age that can relate ? Thanks

Hello all

I'm female and 62 years old. I've weighed as high as 226 lbs, and as low as 122lbs. over the many diets. Currently I'm at 132…

Why are slim people slim?
Just saw this ~40 min vid on youtube that asks and answers that question following two slim individuals with hidden cameras for a week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoRh5-gCCrc I found it super interesting! Especially because neither of them are what I would consider really into fitness or nutrition. They both have what…

justifying little mini binge
yesterday I went over by 250 calories. Today i am going through my calories quicker than normal and could easily run out.

Last 7-10lbs...
I've been lurking on here a while and am very close to my goal. I've got a plan to ease into maintenance and wondered on other opinions please. I thought in the week mon-fri to set my calories to lose 0.5 lb and eating at maintenance sat & sun. I'd still like to lose 7-10 lbs. Will this be very slow going? I don't want to…

I don't know how to do this
Howdy all - I'm just coming off some great weight loss success - 11kg down over 3 months through fastidious logging and exercise. I have a BMI of 21 and have hit 2 goals and within 3 lb of my third, which I may or may not get to, but I'm happy with the 58.5kg at 169 cm I have attained- I'm 40 and female. Maintenance scares…

I think I am really done losing now
I declared myself in maintenance when I got at/below 164 for a few days because that was my goal. I pretty quickly decided I wanted more wiggle room and kept dropping slowly to get under 160 and above 155, which I think is good maintenance range, since the top is 4 pounds below my scream weight. 2 days ago I weighed 156.8,…

I have been on a slow decline over the last three months with a small are no weight loss. I have not gained weight. I am on the slow…

Maintenance Week - Anyone else do this?
Hey guys! So one week out of every month I tend to give myself a "week off" where I adjust myfitnesspal to my maintenance calories and eat healthily, but with more little bits and pieces thrown in, with the goal to reaching the week after the same weight I started. I still exercise as usual I might add - 3 x 45 minute…

Quitting Logging Milestone
Today is the day. I will continue to weigh myself daily and track my weight. I will continue to use these forums and your wisdom for support. But I’m not going to log my food or track my calories while I’m in my maintenance range. This is an awesome tool, but the logging part is keeping me in a “diet” mentality that I very…

Long term maintainers (like me): advice on why I am where I am
OK, this will be TMI, but I am hoping that long-time maintainers can sort through it and help me to figure it out. I am 3 years into maintenance, which has been relatively easy for me. I have a 2 lb. range b/c I am only 5'0" and a larger range is too much, and that range works well. I have been in that range for the whole…

How accurate is you activity tracker?
I ask this question for those in maintenance, because I assume you have a pretty good idea of what your TDEE is if you have been in maintenance for a while. I recently upgraded my Garmin to a model with a daily activity tracker, my first, and I am finding it to be a bit out of line with my own calculations regarding…

How do you do maintenance/recomp?
I'm not far off from shifting my focus from bulk/cut cycles (or more accurately, caring/not caring cycles) to a longer term recomp. I get the math and the action part of it... but what I'm wondering about is the approach, the practice, the mindset. When someone tries to lose weight, they have to maintain a calorie deficit,…

I should be about average of 126 lbs.

Query about recomp?
Been doing a bit of reading about recomp, first rule seems to be slight surplus on training days, deficit on rest days. Now my issue is I do PPL 6 days per week. So how would I get around that? Just 1 day in a deficit seems pointless.
