How often do you eat treats?
I'm not yet at maintaining, but I'm down 108lbs, with the help of WLS. I eat healthy most of the time and I exercise 5-6 days a week (running, step class and aquafit). How often do you treat yourself? Sweets, treats, pastries, fast food etc. Once a month? Week? Day? Just curious what is "normal" for most people who are at…

For those maintaining weight, how much does your weight fluctuate on a daily basis? Today I weighed 0.4 pounds heavier than yesterday. What's normal?

Growing boys at puberty?
A family friend has a 13-year old son of normal weight. He is growing taller by the minute and complains of eating and eating and never feeling full. He is sick of eating all the time and always feeling hungry. I guess she bought him protein powder to supplement his diet, which seems a little odd to me because I never felt…

I wish I could move my fat around!
*rant alert* I'm not happy with maintenance anymore, I'm 5'10 and 140lbs so a healthy weight but it's all in the wrong place! I like the idea of recomp and have been strength training a few months now but I feel like I will never put on enough muscle to make up for the fat I need to lose so I need to diet again. Parts of…

TDEE for maintenance?
I am .5 kg away from my goal weight (55kg), I just increased my calories from 1200 to 1300, then increased it to 1400 just today. 1300 is my BMR, so I will still probably lose a bit. Should I follow TDEE calories for maintenance? This is a bit confusing though since different calculators gave different results. One more…

I don't want to count calories forever
But I'm terrified of gaining it all back like so many people do. I had an impromptu dinner with family tonight and had bread with olive oil,pork tenderloin wrapped in zucchini, and a stew made from garden vegetables. It was probably the healthiest meal I have had in a long time and if I was counting calories i would never…

Newbie maintainer
Within the next week or two I should hit my goal weight and finally start maintaining (woohoo). I have every intention of continuing logging once I hit my goal weight, but there is a voice in my head that keep telling me that when I hit my goal I won't want to log anymore. I'm going to ignore that voice because it's wrong,…

How do you define success? Daily goals?
Question for the maintainers: what are your daily goals as someone working to maintain your weight? Once I hit goal, I inadvertently started trying to eat the tastiest food I could eat within my calorie budget, which resulted in a pretty unhealthy diet. I put myself on a pretty low carb meal plan for the last week to kick…

Can I eat more than I thought? :)
Hi there! I'm new here and this is my first post! But I'm not new to calorie counting, I've just used other websites before. I switched to My Fitness Pal because I got a Polar Heart Rate Monitor A300 and it syncs the activity data perfectly! In the last few years I've been maintaining my weight it's been bugging me... how…

I failed to maintain my weight!!
Hello.. These days last year I went on a diet and lost about 7 kg "that means 14lbs I guess" And I kept on sticking to the same diet until college days came and I had to stay in dorms and eat from the food they give us there.. I decided to stop the diet and just maintain my weight bc I felt comfortable with it and also…

Reverse Diet
I was just wondering if anyone here has done a reverse diet and how successful that was? After 4 years I've finally hit my goal weight and even went further. I tried to jump right back up into maintenance calories and started to notice a very rapid weight gain! I'm talking 4-6 pounds in a week or 2. That sent me into a…

Weight gain makes no sense
I'm confused. For the past three weeks, my weight has fluctuated 3-5 lbs. over my goal weight. I set myself a range of 3 lbs. and, for the past two years, I have moved comfortably in that range. If it goes over, I get right back on track with fewer calories until it is where it needs to be. These past three weeks of…

Activity level - opinions
I'm sorry if this has been explained before but I wanted to ask people's opinions on what I should set my activity level as, I've changed it a couple of times between active and lightly active but can't work out which I should have it on, I have quite an active job as a home help/cleaner & am on my feet all day doing…

Weight Setpoint
I saw a nutritionist and she recommended me at 1800 calories with my activity, height, weight, etc. I've been eating 1300-1500 calories, though, and been maintaining. What does this mean? I heard that if I'm "undereating" and maintaining then I'm not at my body's natural set point. I'm afraid that I'll gain weight because…

Cheat weekend whilst maintaining weight
Hi all at Christmas I was 95kg but wanted to lose weight so started dieting and exercising and now I'm looking to maintain my current weight which is 61kg but I count my weekly calories and I believe I can have two really high calorie days a week as long as I make up for it on the other days by banking calories, please see…

Post-Baby Reality or Recomposition Addressable?
So I've cut to 133 from 213 (5'9") and go back and forth about keeping to goal of 130 or throwing in the towel now. Honestly if my stomach didn't look so horrible I probably wouldn't have reservations about stopping now. I'm not sure if its recomp addressable to fix what I've got going on (especially as a runner who has…

Advise please
Right, I've basically lost 14lb in the last 4 months with my SO. I've reached my goal whilst she's still losing. I'm looking to maintain my weight and still supporting my other half... How do I successfully increase my calories without just eating crap? I've tried increasing meal times foods, but I struggle to eat that…

Vascularity and body fat %
I have heard that vascularity is a way to get an idea of BF% (as purely an estimate). I'm not confident in the calipers because I know I wouldn't use it correctly. What other ways can you check. The veins in my arms are very visible and I can easily see my muscles under my skin. Not because I am muscular. I think it's more…

Body fat %
Hey everyone so my goal is to get my body fat % at 10 and to how puddly maintain that. I use those handheld devices to measure, while I know those aren't always the most accurate I have been consistently using the same tool for some time now. Can anyone explain how my weight is maintaining but my bf has increased by 1-2%…

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!
Hello to all I have finally pretty much reached my desired goals. I weigh now 178lbs with about 8% bf (or close), at 5'9" am happy with the way I look for a 50 year old. Yes I am not a 200 pounder but more lean mass for my height would make me look too stocky, so I would like to maintain my leanness and overall weight. I…

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…
