Calorie deficit?
Hi I'm really confused about something and hope someone can explain it to me 😊 if you're supposed to burn off more calories than you consume does that mean if I'm eating around 1,700 calories daily do I have to burn more than 1,700 calories a day? If so that means your body is surviving on zero calories daily. Or does it…

I have been trying to lose my weight currently at 77 kg, target at 73 kg any better idea?

Heavy sigh. No huge weight gain!
We went RV camping this weekend in a little town in outstate MN. We went on a brewery tour, and I had 4 or 5 beers (beer tasting plus what we ordered). They were sours and so tasty! We had food truck food at the brewery. Then the next day we ate at a local diner with yummy sandwich and fries. And then another sour beer! We…

Increasing calories is stressful!
I've been eating 1200 calories since August. I made goal a few weeks ago and then dipped below that by a couple pounds. I added just 50 calories. I've been walking a bunch lately and feel hungry. So I increased my calories to 1400. This is nerve racking! I know what to do: stick with 1400 for a week or two and see what…

Calorie Intake
The app suggests I intake 2500 calories a day to maintain my weight (I can only manage 1900). I literally would be stuffing myself to get those calories in me even though I have a healthy appetite. Once I have deducted 600 calories from my daily workout does this mean I will be a skeleton in 6 months?.

Losing too much weight, want to get back to my old body
Okay, so I've (19F) been losing a lot of weight recently. I got down to a healthy weight for my size. Only problem is, I kept going.

Tasting food when cooking, for seasoning etc.
Hi I've been maintaining for about a year and a half, using MFP. I'm not looking to lose any more weight, but I calorie count pretty precisely to keep myself honest and avoid regain. (i.e. I usually weight out all the food, and then split it into 1 portion per gram, and then weigh my portions, so pretty precise). I'm…

I think I've settled on 128 lbs.
I am a 52 year old female, 5' 2.5". It's been difficult knowing when to stop losing and maintain. I was 170 lbs at the end of August, and I am 130.8 lbs this morning. Stopping is hard! My doctor said not to go below 22 BMI. 2 more pounds and then stop? I know maintaining will be the hardest part of this, really. Thanks for…
