Maintaining
Hello, I have finally reached my goal after many months. I don’t want to lose more weight, but I don’t want to gain any either. I am only moderately active. How do I determine how many calories I should eat in a day?

Lost weight while maintaining..
I was eating 1600, and I asked a question here whether it's a lot or not, because I didn't feel satisfied, I'm 5'3, I was 121 lbs, now I'm 116 lbs, should I add 100 calories? I'm thinking of adding them, as I finally got over my fears of gaining weight. Age; 19 Height; 5'3 Weight; 116 Exercise; 3 times a week I'll start…

Water Weight Dilemmas or What
Is it possible to gain 5 kg of water weight in a few days? I find it weird, too, since my sodium intake did not change. I was 55 kg last July 15, then I am 60 kg now. Thanks

Binge eating is great, or is it?
Are there ever times when you decide to forget about being healthy for the day and eat as much of whatever you like? If it's your birthday, Christmas, your graduation or even your wedding day then would you see that as a good enough reason to imobalize yourself with food? I say this because yesterday I graduated from…

Decided to quit being an "active" couch potato.
I got myself an alarm clock app today and set it up so that it goes off every hour between the hours of 10 am to 10 pm. This reminds me to get off my butt and go out and walk down the hallway and down, and then up a couple of flights of stairs, and then back to my apartment. I made up my mind to do this all day, everyday…

Is the food diary a life long endeavor or does it ever stop?
Hello all! I am fairly new to the entire logging in of my caloric intake. I tried it once before by writing it down in a physical journal and got tired of it. Logging into a website each day makes it a bit more tolerable, but it is definitely not something that I would prefer to do for the rest of my life in order to lose…

How to maintain a healthy weight?
I'm so close to where I want to be so I'm wondering what next? Once I've got down to the weight I want what do I do? I haven't been counting calories for about a month and it's been working fine (until a blip where I ate rubbish but I'm back on track). So I don't want to log my food etc I just want to eat healthy, keep…

Disheartening creep
I got on the scale this morning and I am not happy. Ok, I realize it's just one day and my legs hurt and I'm close to ovulation and probably retaining water like crazy, even though I've been way under my goal the last couple days... but still. The weird thing is that I look my thinnest yet... yet the scale was 8 pounds…

Why do I have to eat so much meat/protein?
I ended my bulking phase about 3 months ago. My goal is maintain my weight while losing fat and continuing to workout, albeit with less heavier lifts. Since then I've only been eating whole foods except in rare occasions. That usually means like fruit, vegetable, and a lot of meat (chicken, beef, and salmon). On a given…

Maintenance calorie range
I read where people maintain between a range for example (1600-1800). I would think a 200 calorie variance is high. I try using TDEE to determine my maintenance. I know that maintenance is not a set amount, but I wasn't aware the variance can be that large. I'm tempted to try to increase my calories by an extra 100-200 to…

When did you switch to maintenance?
My goal weight is 135. I am planning to have a maintenance range of 135-140. I have gotten down to 141, although today I am at 142. My question is when to transition from a deficit to maintenance? I have a deficit of 250 right now, but I sometimes have a larger deficit than that if I don't eat back all of my fitbit…

Probiotics and bloating/water retention
I have some major digestive issues and dr has prescribed some pretty strong probiotics after a few doses of antibiotics to kill off weird strains of ecoli, yeast and SIBO. But I am having major water retention and bloating since taking it. Curious if anyone else has had this affect them in the same way?

Is anyone on maintenance that isn't even that skinny?
I've decided to go on maintenance because I can't do 1200 any more (I'm short) so I've just learned to accept myself with a cute belly and that's that. I've lost quite a lot of weight so I'm happy with that. Is anyone in a similar situation ? Would love to make new friends, thanks! Caroline

I started maintenance last week with no change on the scale then on Saturday I had a fun day of cookies and blueberry muffins that had me slightly over calories for the day and up 5lbs (as it does). The next two days also involved cookies and blueberry muffins but I was at/under goal and the 2lbs of food waste and salt…

Need a Handle on Maintaining
First Question-- So, I'm ready to maintain, for now. I have a range, but in MFP, as far as I can tell, there is no setting for the fluctuations. Every time I gain a bit I have to go back in and adjust my goals so that I'm not maintaining the higher weight. Do you guys do this, or do you set a custom goal to maintain and…

Anyone maintaining overweight?
Hi I'm just wondering if there are people out there maintaining while still overweight? I want to get down to about 200 pounds and maintain there, even though I will still be considered overweight (I'm 5'9"). I know from the past that is a reasonable size/ weight for me (roughly size 12). I'm also wondering if anyone out…

Do you guys really count calories?
In my life I could probably count the times I've actually kept track of my calories for a day on one hand. But I know a lot of people here do it. So how do you do it? Do you actually weigh everything out and keep a list of everything you eat throughout the day? The two times I did it on MFP I kind of just guessed at the…
