Should I recomp or stay in deficit?
Stats: 5'11'', 148lbs., 30 yo I'm nearing what I thought was my goal weight of 145 and I'm wondering what to do next. I've lost almost all of my baby weight (8.5mo postpartum), but still have a ways to go in terms of body composition. So far, I haven't exercised at all, just calorie deficit. I know heavy lifting would help…

Hungry at maintenance!

Should I be here?
Ok so when I started my weight loss, my goal was 8 and a half stone (119lbs/55kg). I'm 5ft 1 btw. Before having kids I was very small, too small in my opinion at 7 and a half stone. So after my first son, I yo-yo'ed a bit and settled at about 8 and a half stone which I was happy with so that's why I chose it as my goal…

Body Recomp Delima
I have been trying body recomp for about six months and have seen fairly mediocre results. I have been using machines as opposed to freeweights which I know isn't as good. Everyone tells me I should ditch the machines and that I'll never get the results I want using them. However, the chief reason I use machines, aside…

Just a vent about stupid comments
I'm really trying to take some of the comments I've been receiving in the spirit with which they were (I hope) intended, but sometimes it's hard. I've received the usual, "geez, eat a donut or something" but the most recent one really kind of bothered me. It was "you look like a 12 year old." I'm sorry, was that at all…

I screwed up - but I learned a valuable lesson
Now that summer is here, I don't drink much coffee. So, over the past several days, I have been making iced coffee drinks in the morning to replace my normal coffee. Problem is, I drink regular coffee black, but the iced drinks have sugar and milk (I like the real stuff, not low cal or artificial). That might not sound…

Maintaining without logging
I started my weight loss on Jan 1 this year. Something clicked after years of weight creep and it took me about 3 months or so to drop 20 pounds. Logging and MFP made all the difference! After my March vacation, I wasn't as motivated and struggled to stay within my calories. I stayed about the same, with a tiny downward…

Body fat %
Does anyone know what is a healthy body fat percentage for the average female. I think I'm a little above lightly active. After taking my measurements and weight today, I came up with just under 19% body fat... Does that seem right? I feel like that's a lot of body fat, but I'm pretty thin....
