Maintaining weight after Surgery
Had surgery today that will leave me unable to workout properly for 6 weeks or even more. I've heard that I can take walks at 4 weeks if I'm feeling up to it. Anyway, I've lost about 50 lbs total and want to stay around this weight for now. What would you recommend I do to maintain without exercise while I'm recovering?…

Want to lose 5 lbs but not motivated
Hello all! I've been in maintenance since last April with a range of 122-127. Most of the time I was around 124-125 until my vacation in December and now I'm up around 127-128 and I just can't get below that eating 1700 calories a day. Previously I could very slowly lose with 1700 a day but I think I've been less active…

Old weight but kinda skinny; scared of ^ kg
So I'm back to my old usual weight range, but I'm a little scrawny ... I want my old muscles back. I *know* what works for my body to harden up exercise and diet wise but it's like I'm almost scared of gaining weight again. Any one else feel like this? How did you get over it and motivate yourself to lift the heavy things…

Cuddle problems (not those kind)
Not sure where to put this since it doesn't fit anywhere, but I'm maintaining, so here it goes. I've lost my weight and have a pear shape body. My upper torso is what I'd call thin (still have flab on my arms) and I'm sporting the xylophone chest look (ribs showing through above breasts). I still have a hanging…

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…

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…

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…
