Not sure what my body is up to but I'm hoping someone can give me some insight
So I've been a member here for a while now and didn't have any problems losing weight. I've been in maintenance for a while now. I'm 5'3", between 111 and 113 pounds on average and have a TDEE of 2300 on average via my Fitbit. I usually get 15 to 20K steps per day and workout six days per week, upper or lower body…

Importing Withings Data into Under Armour Scale
At the moment, I'm using a Fitbit Alta activity tracker, My Fitness Pal food logger, and Withings Smart body weight scale. I'm considering buying the UA Healthbox which includes the UA scale and UA Activity tracker and Heart Rate Monitor. The reason I'm considering doing this is so I can have one integrated interface…

UNABLE TO GET OUT OF BED? :[
Every now and then I find myself in an uphill battle against myself to just get out of bed. I honestly don't know if it's me being lazy or if it's some form of depression but it's so annoying! Whether it's depression or not, I feel like I should ultimately have full control of my body and be able to just get myself out of…

How soon can I go into maintenance ??
I am 25, female, 5ft. 125lbs. I want to get to 110. Once I hit my goal do I go into maintenance the next day ? Won't I gain the weight back? I try to eat 1200 cal. A day . If I go up to 1400 for maintenance will I gain it all back ?

Metabolism Boosters
For the last 3 week, I noticed that my digestion has been very slow, along with sluggish workouts. I have noticed that I feel like my metabolism has slowed down and I feel like I'm putting on weight in my lower abdomin (not exactly sure, could just be due to slow digestion) and that has made me feel bad about myself. What…

Fitness Trackers: How do you use the data? Favorite features / settings?
I recently purchased a refurbished Garmin Viviosmart HR. Works fine, but no instructions or info included in the package. Basically, I just charged it, put it on, and scroll through the screens every so often. I was just going to start digging around to understand the basic set up for it -- the underlying premise, if you…

Recomp strength training late at night?
I'm not sure if this matters but 2 of my 3 strength training days I have to work out late at night after my kids go to bed, around 9-930. I know the basic rule of recomp is eat maintenance/surplus on lifting days and deficit on rest/cardio days. Does it matter that on the days I eat maintenance/surplus I don't lift until…

Psychologically handling the new me
I guess what I want to know is how normal (or abnormal) some of my feelings are--if anyone else has experienced this. After almost 30 years of being obese, I have successfully lost 117 lbs. I'm about 8 lbs away from my original goal where I plan to switch to maintenance, or at least reevaluate. It's a number that is still…

When people finally start to notice
This has been quite funny. I have had two people notice my weight, the first comment was "you have lost weight and look great, are you around 220 now"? (I was at 202). Then tonight a guy in front of a group said "hey, you have lost weight, what have you lost 30 pounds, maybe 40"? (I have lost around 20). So yes people…

Weebling
It may just be me but I find maintaining my weight and new size can be just as difficult as losing the weight in the first place. Of late I'm finding it more and more difficult to decide what to eat in order to maintain my weight as opposed to losing a lot more. My weight seems to weeble now and I get worried I may put the…

Weigh loss from temporary illness
I recently had the flu and lost 6 pounds (in four days!) is it possible to keep that off? Although I don't want to be sick and glad to be feeling better I don't want to see that scale go back up either.

How should I decide calories?
Basically what I'm asking is what's the difference between all the online calculators? I know I've calculated bmr, tde, and other things but I don't know when to use which when. Which would be the number of calories I burn on a given day with no excercise? Like just by living? I've been doing a recomp but kinda getting…

Exercise Report: Virtual Ride Around the Equator Completed
Last night (Feb. 11, 2017) I completed my Virtual Ride Around the Equator (VRATE). The Earth's circumference around the Equator is approx. 25,000 miles (it's actually 24,901 miles, which I had crossed on Feb. 5, but I rounded it up for my purposes). Last night's workout clocked in at 25,002.4 miles pedaled since Sept. 1,…

Question about setting maintenance calorie goal
I know I am overthinking this. I am trying to maintain, but I have lost 10 pounds since I hit my goal in July. My fitbit estimates that I burn 1850 calories per day. But when I eat 1850 calories I still lose slowly. I really like the idea of using the NEAT formula and eating more on days I burn more. So I have always used…

Do you eat out more, less, or the same as when you were in weight loss?
I'm curious as to how much you eat out now that you're in maintenance compared to when you were in weight loss mode? I notice it's still hard to fit in lets say, Ihop pancake breakfast then dinner out on the same day with lunch/snacks etc in between! So far, it's pretty much the same for me as when I was losing weight. I…

Maintenance mode but................................
Okay, I'm finally in a maintenance mode and I figured at 211 lbs (6'2"), I no longer need to "lose weight." However, I would like to do a better job at distributing my existing weight. I'm a lifter for the most part and I do cardio only out of a necessity, though I did once enjoy a good run before I broke my ankle 5 months…

Hi all, I have posted on a few boards the same question and seen a great post above requesting info on the non food ways to success). I am curious though, I know when they lose weight (through hard work) they only go and find the reward system in their brains lights up even more with food and they regain the weight. I am…
