Do you log every day?
And do you plan on logging your food forever? I really don’t like logging my food. It’s tedious. For a while I’ve only been logging m-f and taking weekends off, but it’s not working for me because when I don’t log my food, I use that as an excuse to eat all the food lol. I feel like I could set rules for myself, like just…

My weight and my clothes size don't make sense to me
Can someone explain this to me? I am 42 yrs old and 5.6 and 150 lbs. I just got myself into a size 6 which I'm thrilled about (lost 133 lbs so far). Last time I was a size 6 I was 18 and 120 lbs. My figure is waaaaaay different than back then. I figure that's post kids and hormones etc... I'm fine with it. But how can I be…

Percentage of Fat to Lean Body Mass
For those who tracked BF% during their loss . What was your % of lean body mass to fat loss. I am averaging 27% Lean Body Mass and 73% Fat and suspect this is probably too much LBM being lost for each kg of weight. I have tried to google it but the hits dont exactly scream credible source of info. Background to my…

Realistic Body Fat Percentage Loss
It's likely to be a 'how long is a piece of string' kind of question, but I'm wondering what a realistic change in body fat percentage would be over a period of 1 month. I'm currently 15.5% (using bioelectric scales, so likely not accurate). I'm at a weight I'm happy with but of course there is the stubborn belly fat and…

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…

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…

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?
