Dealing with "You're too skinny" comments?
I've heard this from friends, family and co-workers the past few months. At first it's flattering to know my efforts are producing noticeable results but after a while I'm getting sick of it. Not to mention I am trying to put on muscle so heading I'm super skinny is actually insulting. Anyone else experience similar…

I don't really exercise or workout as I don't have the time. I’m trying to find my activity multiplier. I was thinking of multiplying my bmr (which…

5'1 Ladies- what are your maintenance calories?
I'm 5'1, 31 years old, desk job. CW= 115. I like to be b/t 110-112, but find myself gaining a few pounds and then having to lose the same 5-6 pounds over and over to get my GW. I am obviously not hitting my maintenance calories correctly.

My Weight Maintenance At 5'7''
I lost over 63 pounds eating 1,200 calories a day. I get cardio through cycling. 32 miles can burn 1,500 calories at an average of 12 miles an hour. I bike 25 or more every other day. Cycling with dieting takes weight off in all the right places. I didn't have to target any area of my body. My bad knees got so strong that…

When to start cutting? Or continue 'recomp'
I'm driving myself a bit crazy about whether to continue to recomp or to start a deficit. I originally stopped WW to work on strength and muscle gain.

Any Ladies 5'6-5'7 about 130ish Maintaining
I just have a few questions, what's your calorie maintenance intake, how often do you exercise or lift if you do, and how many pounds do you fluctuate between? I'm thinking about going into maintenance but I can't seem to figure out what that number is. So many sites have various numbers none of them seem to be the same,…

Anxiety over reaching target weight?
Anyone else have issues when they have reached or are reaching their target weight? When I started I honestly never thought I would actually reach my goal weight. I started at 244 with a goal of 140ish. Back in May I reached my goal of 140 and then kind of lost my way. I should have been excited, I did it! But I felt…

I lost a little over a pound a week eating 1500 calories and only eating back some exercise calories. It didn't feel particularly…

I've lost a little over 100 pounds, and I'm thinking about seeing a goal that still has my BMI in the overweight range. When I got to goal at WW in 2002 I was 35 and had lost 135 pounds.

The Issue with my Scale
Hey all, I'm in a bit of a pickle. A couple years ago I successfully lost 28 Ibs. (my sophomore year of college) I weighed around 158 and being 5"6, that made me overweight. I slimmed down to the 133-135 range using myfitness and have maintained that for the past few years. For whatever reason, it has been getting more and…
