Maintenance Seems Too Low?
Hey everyone. I was just hoping for a little bit of advice (my food diary is public). I am 5'4" and 111lbs. I am currently working on becoming stronger, so that I can do work around the farm more easily, and have no access to a gym where I live. MyFitnessPal has calculated my maintenance calories at 1560 a day, which means…

Favorite Brand of Jeans sizes 23/24
Hey, I'm 5'2" size 23 or 24. I traditionally buy 7 for All Mankind jeans but am interested in trying some other brands. Not concerned about price.

Almost there. Now what?
I'm within 10 pounds of my goal weight. I figure I'll get there by the end of the year. So 2017 will be the year I maintain. I was the same weight from about 20 through 35. By 40 the pounds started to creep up. My lifestyle didn't change all that much. As I near menopause I wanted those extra 25 pounds gone & I'm almost…

#WeightFluctuationProblems
Hi all, I just bought some new rings at the Rennaisance Festival yesterday. Literally yesterday! I tried on different sizes (I don't buy rings often) and determined one that slid on and off okay without getting stuck on my finger. Guess what? These rings are way too big now (just a day later)!

Struggling to find maintenance calories
I have been on maintenance since July 25, 2016. But in that time I have lost 5.4 pounds, so obviously I am not maintaining. That is only a .39 per week rate of loss, but I am now officially under my maintenance range. I'm kind of driving myself crazy trying to figure out the numbers. I have mfp set to maintain at sedentary…

I've heard maintaining is harder
than actually losing. Why is this? It seems once the calories amount is dialed in for maintenance that it would be equal to losing. Does one tend to loosen the calorie restriction a bit? I have about 7 months to go before I begin maintenance but I think about it often and I'm trying to focus on how to learn from this so…

I'm thinking I know the answer, but just checking. If I am eating at maintenance, can I eat back some of my exercise calories and not gain weight? I'm 5'3 and about 136.6 lbs. I am still trying to get down to 130 but decided to just take a break and/or take it slow.

How often should I weigh in at maintenance?
I am starting a recomp soon. I am somewhat at peace with the scales and my current weight of 143 (5' 7) but I need to lose some serious body fat.

Weighing and logging.....forever??
Once you reach maintenance, how many still weigh and log everything? I'm hopeful that my end result will be a much better ability to eyeball portion sizes and calories as well as having a strong desire and personal accountability to keep moving forward, not backwards. Besides.....the thought of weighing/measuring and…

Today I ate 2300 calories and still had a deficit of 300 calories before going to bed. Should I be eating all those back? Even the ones from…
