How did you decide on your maintenance weight?
I'm sure this has been covered before but I've been nowhere close to my goal so have not paid attention. Can someone tell me how you decided on your maintenance weight? I mean, besides "I look good at this weight," I know that... but it seems like somewhere I remember reading that some people like to go 2-3 pounds below…

Abs without losing weight?
I was underweight before so I dirty bulked and gained almost 30 pounds. Now I'm average according to the bmi index, but I think I have a belly. This is probably because I consumed a lot of fat, right? Now is it possible if I just switch to eating lean food from here on out, or do I have to 'cut' to lose the fat and start…

No Gym or equipment, What progams to try
Hey guys! So I am from New Jersey, but interning in California for the summer. Because I am working across the country I am unable to bring a car with me, so it will be very difficult for me to get to a gym to workout. Knowing this, my goal for the summer is to just maintain my body and possibly tone a bit. I was wondering…

Losing weight vs. maintaining weight, which do you think is harder?
I've seen on here a few times people saying that maintaining weight is a lot harder to do than losing weight. That's not real reassuring to those of us who are still losing. I've lost 40 pounds and that has been really hard for me. I only have 13 lbs to go, so I'm mentally trying to get prepared for maintaining for life. I…

Eating by hunger
I'd eventually like to be able to listen to my body for hunger ques, and I've been trying to practice that as I've lost. Now that I'm nearing goal and slowly increasing my calories, I'm trying to be more aware of my natural hunger ques. Thing is: I get full half way through my meal. I'm scared that if I eat less than what…

To those struggling with scale changes and body image (most of us?!)
I'm posting this to hopefully, help at least one other person in a similar situation. Do you over obsess over your goal weight? Did you hit it once and never see it again and a matter of 2 lbs drives you insane? I did. I let it eat up a year... more even of my life. So below are 2 pics. One is my last year's weight graph,…

Using my future calorie maintenence to lose weight?
Would this work? I was thinking that if I work out what my maintenance calorie intake would be of my goal weight, then start eating that calorie intake now, that I would loose weight until my goal then stop there.

Eating back Fitbit exercise calories
This is weird! If my maintenance calories keep me at maintenance and mfp reports my 5 week weight stays the same. But if I exercise and eat back, MFP says I will gain 1 or even 1.5 lbs in 5 weeks. How can this be?

Does your remaining fat "redistribute" after losing weight, or is that a myth?
Does your remaining fat "redistribute" after losing weight, or is that a myth? I know fat doesn't move around, but if you're at a low but healthy BMI, after hitting maintenance and continuing to exercise, does body recomposition mean you gradually have less problem areas? What's the relationship between recomp and…

TDEE - what to do with calorie amount when you have a lower exercise week?
Hi My TDEE is around 1800, give or take. I work out 5x per week. But there are some weeks when it is less ... which is rare. Example: this week, only 3x. On vacation, lots of walking but not nearly enough calories expending when doing cardio machines, etc. How do you work with less exercise and adjust your calories to meet…

What are my maintenance calories?
I heard (google told me) you should multiply your weight by 14 and then by 17 and take the middle number and that is it. So for me I weigh 220 pounds. I would like to be 185 at goal. So is the formula 14x220 and then 17x220 and then take the middle number of those two totals? How does this work?
