starting maintenance
Hi, i am about 5 pounds away from my goal and my weight loss has stalled so I decided I'd go ahead and try maintenance for a while since I've been trying to lose for almost 2 years and have lost about 58 pounds in that time. I feel great now but still have a little tummy pudge. That'll come off eventually-I hope but not…

It’s too soon to plateau
I started watching what I was eating about 2 weeks ago. I try to log things when I remember and am fairly active. I’m on my feet walking around for 10 hours a day bc I have to as a manager. Lately I’ve been so stressed I’m not even hungry but I bought a box of 100 calorie or less snacks in hopes to fill out the day. When I…

Keto for health?
Hi, I'm brand new, first post. I'm dealing with a fatigue issue and seeing a Functional Medicine doctor. She's put me on a (temporary?) keto diet to see if it helps, but I'm not looking to lose weight. Is anyone else here doing keto for health and not weight? There's tons of keto information on YouTube and around the…

Can I itemize Carbs to show Fibers
I'm carb tracking and need to be able to separate the sugar/starch from the fibers to get an accurate carb count. Is there anyway to get my Recipes to show the fibers ? I see they show carbs and sugar, but no fiber gm .. Thanks

I suck at maintenance
Weird thing to complain about; I wouldn't get any sympathy over in the General forum. This morning I was 1.4 pounds below the lowest weight I saw while losing. I guess that's not true since I am still losing. I knew I was being conservative. I have a really hard time logging my exercise because I think the numbers my watch…

Is This too Much Food?
Hi. I have been in anorexia recovery for 5 1/2 years. Recently, within the past week and a half, I started eating more. I can physically feel and see myself getting bigger since I increased my caloric intake. I am a healthy weight - 5'5 and 115 lbs (now 117). Personally, I don't think what I am eating should cause me to…

It’s been a while
So as the title states, it’s been a while since I last posted anything. It been over a year actually and yet I’ve continued to use this app everyday in the meantime. However I will have to confess I haven’t used it properly every day. In my one of previous posts I mentioned about gaining my period back and everyone seemed…

Recomp vs. Maintenance
Hey Everyone, Sorry if this is a dumb question - but is there a difference between recomp and maintenance? My initial thought was that recomp was a bit more intentional in terms of nutrition/macros and exercise plan while maintenance was a more relaxed approach, focusing on keeping an eye on consistent calorie in take…

Woman who can maintain on 2000+ calories...how?!
I am SO envious when I hear some woman say they can maintain on 2000-2300 calories! I'm 5'7, weigh 128 (Goal is 120-125), and burn 2000 calories a week (3 days HIIT, 1 day indoor cycling, 2 rest days of 1hr walks). I'm not in maintenance yet, but getting close I think; I am currently losing eating 1740 a day. When I run my…

Unsure MFP recording Apple Watch steps properly and weight still dropping
Hi everyone. I successfully lost 21 kg between September and March and have been trying to maintain since then. I was previously using a different app whilst dieting but switched to MFP after recently getting an Apple Watch because the other app didn't integrate with it the way MFP does. The problem I've got is that whilst…

Calculating maintenance calories accurately
Do I have this right. Say I weigh myself today at 78kg and accurately as possible eat at 1800 calories a day for a few weeks. Then I reweigh and have lost 4lb. Am I right in thinking that: Maintenence = 4 x 3500 = 14000 calories Then 140000 / no of days since original weigh in + 1800 calories Thank you

What are your goals?
My goals are to eat more, walk more, be more active and just have fun! After 4 years of constant focus on health and fitness I took a year off. Gained most of it back but I notice how much more muscle I have this time and my body is itching to get back to it!! It's like we try so hard to get to that picture in our minds of…

When to purge older larger size clothes??
I have drawers full of clothing for 3 sizes up and am afraid to let them go! Started weight loss journey 13 months ago and in maintenance since April. I don't need the space back but wonder if keeping the clothes is like admitting I will be back there in larger sizes some day! When is it time to let go?

I finally belong here!
I'm so happy to be officially in maintenance. I hit my goal of 155lbs at 5'11 earlier this week. I'm only really half way to my true goal of being a fit ****, but it's such a nice feeling to finally be here. Quick history: I started last April when I finally decided enough is enough. I turned 38 last August and set myself…

OMAD works
I have been targeting 1500 calories a day to keep myself around 150-155 lbs. I used to count calories and have 3 meager, carefulll measured meals a day. I have tried having just one awesome (1500 calorie) meal after work - this works! Easy. Satisfying. In addition to my one meal a day - I have breakfast with the work mates…

Maintenance Scared to Eat More

When to switch to maintainance calories?
Yesterday, I tried on all of my “small” clothes that had been far too tight to wear, and everything fits fine. I weighed this morning and am two pounds away from my goal weight. I was thinking about going ahead and switching over to maintenance calories because I feel good at this weight. But part of me wants to push…

Pregnancy weight
I am 24 weeks pregnant and I have already gained 30 pounds. I was afraid this would happen. I started out being over weight and really don't want to gain more. Doctor recommended only gaining 15-20 pounds through entire pregnancy. Any suggestions on how I can maintain this weight or things I can do so it is at least easier…

Scared to eat appropriate calories
Hi all, So I've been all over however, one thing that I've maintained is my faith in CICO and I've lost and gained weight using that. Now recently I did another 12-week drop down and went from 83-84 kg to 78.6kg - I was on less than 50g carbs a day and CICO was maintained. Now I started taking my normal calories which I…

Eating 3200 calories a day is annoying. Bulking or Cutting is easier
I find the aspect of counting 3200 calories worth of food extremely annoying. When I bulk, I make a gigantic stir fry, 8 cups of rice, 4-5 chicken breasts, 4 eggs, 2 lbs of peas, dump of peanut oil, and a stick of butter. This lasts a few days, and I gorge on it. I probably eat it in the course of 4 meals. Bulking is easy…
