Where did my butt go , lol
Okay, I lost about 30 pounds since Feb first. I am pleased with the overall results and feel much more healthy and fit. Problem is. I lost my butt. I used to have a real nice fleshy butt, not a-bubble butt per se, but just a feminine rear end. It is pretty much non existent now. I still have cheeks but it has become flat.…

In March I was 215lbs and a waist 38". I am now down to 168lbs and a 32/34" waist. 47lbs later I'm now at goal and thinking, now what?

For those that struggled with the last 10 lbs
I've seen lots of talk about how hard it was (and how long it took) to lose the last 10 lbs. I have been wondering about this, is it physically harder to keep the deficit going since you are at a "normal" weight, or does the mental dedication wane? Or is it something else? I'm curious to hear your thoughts and personal…

trouble maintaining ideal weight
I am a 72-year-old woman. I am 5'2" and 111 lbs. I want to maintain 111 lbs. I walk 4-5 miles per day at 3.0 mph. I eat from 1350-1450 calories per day. I have trouble maintaining 111 lbs. It seems unlikely that I would gain weight but if I go over 1350 calories I gain a pound. What am I missing?

Calorie Cycling: We Aren't Calorie Robots
I'm finding that some days I need a lot of calories, and other days I need very few. I'm trying to pay attention to this phenomenon, because I think not paying attention is what made me gain weight in the first place. I don't think we can eat the exact amount of calories every day. Some days we're hauling heavy buckets of…
