Is maintaining suppose to feel this great?
Kind of boasting here a little, I know, but gosh I worked my butt and then some to get where I am today. 5’2, 120lbs, starting weight was 171lbs so I lost 51lbs in total. Now that I’m on maintenance it feels amazing, obviously because it is such a great accomplishment, but also great because of how freeing it feels. That…

Hi everyone, my insurance offered a free biometric mashine screening. Anyone have done it, is it legit or a waste of time? I still haven't done dexa, but would like to find out my body fat percentage. So is it worth the early am drive? Thank you

I've binge eaten and I am now gaining back my lost weight.
I weighed 177.8 this Sunday. I've been doing a good job in not gaining back the weight I lost until this week. This week, I did binge eat fast food on Monday (which was mostly from Panera Bread), which was a breakfast sandwich from Chick Fil A, some soup from Panera bread and a small loaf of bread, and a Subway Sandwich…

Approaching maintenance...
Hi, I'm now heading towards my maintenance goal of 112lbs (currently 115 - I'm 5'3.5", body fat currently 24%) and to be honest I'd say I'm happy for maintenance to be between 112-115 to allow for fluctuations from day to day anyway. MFP sets me at 1200 calories per day to lose weight, typically I eat around 1300 plus a…

Started at size 4, skipped over 6 and now I'm an 8, but not on purpose.How do I maintain?
Here is my story and I'm sure I already know the answers, but I'd still like to hear your ideas. I've been maintaining at a size 4 for most of my life, easily, definitely does not mean I was in shape, but it was easy for me to stay there without too much effort. In the last year or so I have gained a lot of weight, blame…

Maintaining while breastfeeding
Are any of you breastfeeding? I'm very close to my goal weight and I'm at a loss as to how many calories to set maintenance to as I've lost 3.4kg in FOUR DAYS without even trying very hard. My bub is now 8.5 months old so we're really only at the start of our breastfeeding journey and I really don't want my weight to jo-jo.

Breaking the Regain Cycle
Apparently I'm a slow learner because I have had to re-learn the same lesson many times over my life. I have been living this pattern over and over since I was perhaps 20: 1) Get frustrated because my weight increases and hits a point where I don't feel good about how I look or in my body ... that's generally when I'm…

At Goal Weight ...
I've reached my goal weight but feel that I should lose a couple more kgs to allow myself a buffer in case of normal fluctuations in weight. Did you do this or do you just maintain at your goal weight quite easily? I feel with holidays coming up that this may be difficult to do, so should work towards losing more now (if I…

Afraid to add maintenance calories
I lost all the weight I intended on losing, but now that I've hit goal, I still feel chubby! I set a new goal for 3 lbs less than my original, and I don't see myself being satisfied there, either. I know it's irrational, but I'm afraid that my body's gotten used to such a small amount of food and I'll gain at what should…

Hi Am only 6 lbs until my goal weight. My question is, where do we go on the site to get our info on maintenance calories allowed? I am not too familiar with the site, I mostly use my phone app to log my food and excercise

Setting a Weight Range
Hi all! It feels a bit silly to ask this, but I'm feeling uncertain about it and I want my transition to maintenance to go as smoothly as possible. I've been getting close to my goal weight lately, and it occurred to me that I have no idea whether I want that goal to be at the top or bottom of my maintenance weight range.…

This has been the trend of my weight. Starting Late August: 129.6 131.2 131 131 132 132 132.4 And I weighed in this morning At 133.4 All these weights are 2 weeks apart. I go to the gym and lift weights/do cardio 5 days a week. I don't notice I'm gaining any kind of fat. Should I be worried in any way?

How do I decide on a goal weight?
I have lost 120 lbs and I am still losing I'm 8 lbs away from a BMI of 24 which is normal range. My weight range supposedly is anywhere from 118-154. My problem is- my body has changed so much over time. I look in the mirror and I don't have any idea how I look to others or what is supposed to be "normal". Everyone tells…

14 days no logging
and I'm sure I'm generously over-eating. its always so hard for me to maintain once I've hit the goal weight or accomplished some other goal (like running a marathon). My unhealthy relationship with food means I get to tell myself "I deserve it after so long being good" and "I earned it" fundamentally - food is still a…

Hitting maintenance at higher than goal weight
Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone here has gone into maintenance at a weight higher than their original goal weight? My original goal was 133, and my ideal goal range is about 130-135. I'm currently hanging out around 137 and am seriously considering being done with weight loss for a variety of reasons. I'm already an…

I'm starting to lose control. Gaining all of the weight back!
Hello everyone, I'm writing this post because this day officially marks the time I gained 10 pounds from what I was before. I started at ~190 with the target weight of 130. I reached 151 a couple of months ago after 8 months of calorie counting and realized that I didn't have the willpower to reach 130. Thus, I started…

Anyone out there gained due to nicotine withdrawl? Is it water?
This may be confusing to some but I was never a smoker. I started vaping about a year ago. It helped me as I continued to lose weight because it gave me more energy (I have chronic fatigue) and reduced my craving for sweet things. Now I have had to quit at least temporarily because I'm having surgery and the surgeon says…
