People who've gone from cut/loss to maintaining; are you still seeing changes in your size?
I've been hitting maintenance for a bit now, and I'm thinking that I've been trying to cut for a good amount of time. I'm considering taking another week intentionally around maintenance, but I've still noticed my measurements shifting (besides this week, they've been going down in general). Aside from that, visually I…

Pregnant and eating but not gaining.
So I am 19 weeks pregnant. 5'8" and started out at 226lbs. I set MFP to "lose 1/2 a pound per week" at a sedentary fitness level. It gives me about 2000 cal a day. My Fitbit adds in my exercise so I've been eating 2300-2500 cal a day. Now, at 19 weeks pregnant, I am 228lbs. I feel like I'm eating so much but still not…

Not logged for a month, not gained :)
I've not been logging daily for over a month now, just got out of the habit but I weighed myself this morning and am the exact weight I was when logging relentlessly last month :) it's so comforting to find out I've finally taught myself how much/ what foods I should be eating without mfp having to tell me!

Large whoosh and now maintenance!
Going into maintenance. It seems as though that the past week, my body has slowly been purging everything it was holding. I'm definitely smaller and have gone down about 8-10 lbs the past 2-3 weeks. I gained about 20 lbs over the winter. 10 of those were much needed. Lost too much weight due to stress from breaking up with…

Not There Yet...But Will Be. How do you keep it off?
Hi Guys, I'm just starting off on yet another weight loss journey. I've lost and gained the same 65 pounds about 4 times in my life. Here is my pattern. I get on a healthy eating track, lose the weight, feel great, get bored. I can't seem to keep it off. I know I deal with a bit of seasonal depression and will be much more…

Fitbit confusing me.
My weight is healthy and has been for a long time but my doctor has advised not to lose anymore, MFP gives me 1360 calories to maintain and I was still losing 0.5 pounds per week on that amount. If we had a family celebration I could maintain, even gain a bit but as soon as I went back to 1360 for a week my weight dropped…

Setting MFP calories for eating TDEE
I eat TDEE. I have a Fitbit Blaze and have a pretty good idea of my weekly/monthly calorie burn. For the life of me I can't figure out how to set MFP to represent TDEE. Also if you have a few calories left at say the end of the week, so you tend to eat them back? Thanks so much!

How to set up a way to maintain your current weight
I don't know where to look, but I've read that you can set up a goal for maintaining weight. Where do I go to do this. I'm so happy to say that I've accomplished my goal and I'd like to stay here but without my fitness pal helping me, I won't be able to do it. So please someone, please tell me where to go to set this up.…

Switching to maintenance and feeling guilty.
A few days ago, I hit my goal weight of 175 lbs. I thought I might move the goal post again and try for 165 lbs., but to be completely honest, I'm tired of losing weight. Like, REALLY tired of it. It's starting to wear on me, and I feel like if I try pushing myself down another 10 lbs. I will be miserable. What I'd like to…

Mindful Eating ALONE
Hi all, Does anyone have tips on how to eat mindfully alone? For me, the meals are always over far too quickly, I get bored/sad/lonely, which often leads me to a binge.... I do great eating with people- I truly enjoy eating slowly and can really appreciate the food in company. It's just when I'm alone that I lose control.…

Do you drink wine/alcohol and still maintain?
I've been on maintenance about 6 months and have gained a few pounds. My nutritionist says it's because I have two glasses of wine nightly. She has suggested I cut alcohol completely except once per week. I really don't care about other macros/junk food and otherwise eat a very clean diet but want to incorporate my wine…

Do you ever see a L/M gain from an XL day?
Okay, this is totally subjective, but I want to ask about others' experience: While I'm dialing in maintenance (and weighing a bit on the light side), I've had some way over goal days (goal is 1800 net now; we're talking 4000+ day(s)). While losing, I've been quite accurate at predicting the gain or delay from mildly…

Ideal amount of calories dilemma
I have been on maintenance for a couple of months. According to MFP I need approx 1800 calories per day. I can't get through that many, largely because I have cut down on my alcohol calories. I'm currently at 1200 per day and finding approx with some treats thrown in for good measure and seem to be doing ok. Am wondering…
