150's Challenge
Last weigh in: 155.5
Current Weight: 154.5
Goal 14 anything 😊
Getting closer!!!4 -
last weigh in 158.4
current 158.6 - explanation below
goal 148 with a reevaluate
So I threw all my stats into a spreadsheet to get a more precise average maintenance calorie goal and a lovely trend emerged. SO I am not too worried about this week. I was closer to 157 on Monday. Hoping to be somewhere around 155-156 by next week.

I'm curious, since we're all in the 150s- did MFP give you a 1200-calorie upper limit? And if so, is it stuck there until maintenance? Even in the 140s, 130s, etc.? I vaguely recall that you're supposed to recalculate as you go along.0

I have a calorie goal of 1450. 5’6” female, lightly active, set to lose one pound every week. I do eat back most of my exercise calories so I normally eat between 1700-2000 daily. I recalculate my goal to get an adjusted calorie limit every week when I update my weight. If you’re already at a goal of 1200 it’s probably because your deficit is very aggressive or you’re very short.if I set my goal to losing 1.5lbs/week, I would be at a 1200 limit as well.2 -

@LadySaton thank you, that's very helpful! I am 5'7" and sedentary and have MFP set to 1.5 lbs per week. So I guess if I eat more, I wouldn't necessarily gain, I'd just be at a 1lb per week loss? I haven't reset anything yet after losing about 5 lbs.1

I'm aiming for eating 1490 calories too. 5'6 also lightly active. Looking at aiming 1lb a week. It's less than my recommended tdee so should keep losing weight then keep increasing to find my maintenence!2 -
Hmmm, I did the math and I'm losing 1.3 lbs per week with MFP set to 1.5 and a 1200 calorie limit. It does occasionally feel, well, limiting. I wonder if I should bounce between 1 and 1.5 lbs? Keep my body guessing? Or maybe that's outdated thinking, I don't know. I'm probably making this more complicated than it needs to be!2

Very close! I upped my calorie goal again this morning though. I’ve been really active with spring hitting us locally and it’s making a bigger difference in my burn than i expected.1 -

@LadySaton well, I reset to 1 lb per week and it only bumped me up to 1250 calories. Sigh. I'm not someone who can just exercise a lot to increase my food intake, given my mobility issues, so I'm stuck with surviving on less than 1300 calories. It just feels like at 5'7 and in the mid-150s, I should be able to eat more at some point! Oh, well.2
