Women: how much do you eat NET to maintain
If you are maintaining at your goal weight, I'm curious to know how much you eat NET to maintain. Could you also add, please if you're strength training or not. Much appreciated.

Fitbit syncing mystery
Does anyone know why my Fitbit is syncing steps to MFP, and I'm being credited calories for them, but not syncing workouts? For example, today I ran for 45 minutes, but that's not showing up in my diary. If I manually enter the workout on MFP, it duplicates it on my Fitbit dashboard, so I don't want to do that.

Fitbit calorie confusion
I'm a smart person, why can't I figure this out?!! I have a Fitbit Charge 2, have had it since last December. And for the whole time I've been ignoring its calorie estimation for me and going by MFP instead. But here's the problem: the Fitbit consistently tells me that I've burned more calories than MFP, and so by sticking…

Starving After Weight Lifting
I started the 5x5 StrongLifts program just under a month ago to add some bulk and muscle definition to my frame. I'm seeing results, which I love. My biggest struggle with this program is not how heavy the weight is, but how utterly STARVING I am the days after I lift. I've used several TDEE calculators to determine that…

Those who got really lean after losing a lot, how much did your skin tighten over time?
I know it has a lot to do with age and genetics, but I'm curious: Those who lost 80+ lbs and found they had a little bit of loose skin (bottom of stomach, inner thighs, etc), where it was aesthetically unsightly but not medically an issue, how much did the skin tighten and over what length of time? I remember reading one…

2200 calories?
I'm currently trying to maintain my weight. I'm an 18 yr old female, 5'1 and 100 lbs. I eat about 2200 calories a day which is way more than MFP says I need.

is it water retention? how do you maintain your weight?
Hi Guys, while I'm still quite far from the maintenance stage, I've noticed that if I get a bit off track on Friday nights, I gain over 2 pounds in just 24 hours! Now, I'm assuming this is water retention from the extra salt I've eaten, but the dramatic weight gain scares me and makes me think that there's no way I could…
