Keeping it off-and Losing More
In the last six months I have lost 75 pounds... my goal now is to lose 25-30 more pounds by December 31, 2018. What I have come to realize is that this is a DAILY task which I must do. My Fitness Pal will continue to help me a great deal by recording EVERYTHING which goes into my body. Ray

how to maintain weight after reverse diet?! and build muscle without fat
Hi! I am a 21 year old, 5'10'' female. I had an eating disorder and was doing 2 hours of cardio/day on 1000-1500 calories per day for over a year, and September 7th decided I had enough and finally committed to recovery. Now, I am training 5-6 days a week: 1 mile warmup run, weights, and then 15-30 minutes on the stair…

Adapting twice
So I hit my goal of 140lbs at 5'6 back in September having dropped from 199 at the start of 2017. I know this was fast, unfortunately my weight loss was triggered by a diagnosis of gallstones back at the beginning of the year. Controlling the pain was only achieved by eating very low fat, and due to a long waiting list at…

I hate eating out!
But i won't stop. Lol. More specifically, I hate logging restaurant calories because of the gross inaccuracy. I want Chipotle for dinner, but apparently there's an option for logging what i want to eat at approx 600, to a max of 890! I know some people are into putting in the higher rate, but should i just enter the 890…

Muscle maintenance without exercise?
A question in the main forums got me thinking. Just out of curiosity...can you maintain muscle in maintenance without exercise/resistance training? I would imagine, over enough time...you lose muscle and gain fat, the opposite of a recomp? For example.. if someone finds they are unable to workout for a few months but wants…

Maintaining without exercise, is walking alone effective?
I’m an 18 year old, 5’6, 120 pound female. I used to run 6 miles, 5 days a week, but the last 3 weeks of college I’ve barely run at all. I’ve been aiming at 1300-1400 calories a day. My weight has stayed consistent, but I’m worried it may be bacause I’m loosing muscle mass and it’s evening out the scale. Can I maintain if…

Please help me calories per day question
If i've been eating 800-1000 calories per day for about almost a year now.. if I up my caloric intake to 1300-1400 per day will I gain weight? I just really want to now but I'm a bit scared what will happen even if my bmr and TDE is a bit higher than 1400 since my body and metabolism is probably used to the low intake. I…

Maintenance calories increased
So, I've been in maintenance/recomp for 4 months. When I started I was eating 1600-1700 calories to maintain, any more and I started gaining. For the last month I've been eating 1800-2000 plus a cheat meal almost every week and I've been maintaining. Is this common with recomp?

Tall Women: How did you choose your maintenance weight.
I'm 5'11 and I've been losing weight since last February. My doctor wants me no lower than 160 pounds which is 14 pounds less than what I am right now. I've never been happy at that weight. I feel the best at 150. For you tall women like me, how did you decide on what weight to maintain? Did you go by your doctor's advice…

"bathroom" scales help
I'm trying to figure out why my 2 scales give different weights. Can someone help? I have a digital scale and an "old school"/non-digital scale. I put 10lbs of free weights on each, and they both read 10lbs (so they're calibrated correctly). I stand on them both within a minute of each other, with no changes in clothes,…

Any maintenance advice for a newbie?
Just got to goal weight (125lbs) after 666 days eating 1300. Still losing rapidly - 122.4lbs when I stepped on the scale this morning but am not worried about that since my maintenance range is going to be 120-125 and I know I’ll gain when I first go to maintenance calories. Was planning to add in 100 calories per day for…

1000+ Consecutive Days logged on MFP
A few years ago, I met some MFP friends, still on my FL, when responding to a similar inquiry. I figured I would pay it forward and see if there is any interest in contributing to this thread and connecting with long committed MFP die-hards. If you send a FR, just let me know if you found me on this community thread.

anyone getting leaner?
I was told that if you keep your calories clean you can actually lean out while maintaining your weight. I understand this would be a very slow process. I was just wondering if anyone had experienced that.

Maintain-Iversary Year One
Today marks one year of maintenance. ironically, I'm at EXACTLY the same weight as October 15th a year ago. Some days were easy breezy and some were white-knuckle hanging by my fingertips. My current range is 140-145. If I never hit my ideal weight (130) I'm okay with that. But I'm going to give it a legit shot for the…

Fitbit calorie adjustment
I am probably not the first one to ask, but is it really ok to eat ALL your fitbit adjustment calories? Reason I ask is my calorie adjustment is over 1000 calories a day on top of my maintenance. Which brings me close to 3000 calories a day. And that seems really high. I am in maintenance so really don’t want to be putting…
