For me once I reach "Normal" in the BMI scale, I started looking at just where within the parameters I felt the best. My initial goal weight was 185lbs, but I actually find that I feel my best at around the 180lb mark. I am running a little under that at present, but I have been injured and not working out with strength…

@joannekbrady9843 Congratulations on reaching your goal weight. It is a real big accomplishment in our fitness and health journey and a wonderful milestone to reach. I suggest looking at some of the maintenance groups here in the community to help with maintaining your weight moving forward. Groups such as Maintainers…

Great effort Mkk, I find that even though it doesn't always show up physically, the psychological benefits of a workout really makes a positive change in attitude and positivity. Good on ya!

Ready for the weekend! I was able to maintain a balanced diet, and kept somewhat active with the limitations of my shoulder. I am still running a little under my goal weight, but at least holding steady and I am still within a healthy range. Have a great week everyone! Goal Weight: 185 Average weight for this week, Jun 14-…

When using the default myfitnesspal recommendation I found I was going about a 1/2 pound a week, I moved my caloric intake up about 350 calories per day, and adjusted my carb/protein/fat ratios to fit my lower carb intake and I have leveled out.

@comptonjh429 I eat two boiled eggs every morning and have found them to be an excellent source of protein, and they contain all the essential amino acids in the right ratios, so your body is well-equipped to make full use of the protein in them. In fact, eggs are pretty much the perfect food. They contain a little bit of…

Very impressive Aimee!

I skipped my weekend 36hr fast again this weekend as I am still having challenges maintaining my weight and lost another pound over the past week. I was able to maintained a balanced diet, and kept somewhat active with the limitations of my shoulder. I am starting back on the bike this week and I am going to start swimming…

@walkintofit Slow weight loss is good, and sustainable over the long haul, even if it is only a pound a week, it is still heading in the right direction. It didn't take just a few months to gain the weight, and it isn't a failure to lose it slowly either, even 1/2 pound a week is 26 pounds in a year!

@SummerSkier Yes, moderation is the key. another option is substitution, I'm fortunately not so much a sweet tooth person, but I do like salty food, and loved potato chips. I started with moderation, putting a single serving (about 15 chips) into a bowl, and eating them individually, as slowly as I could, savoring each…

Welcome to the blog Jon, yes, I believe that tracking caloric intake on a consistent basis goes a long way to achieving success with ones nutrition and weight goals. I also do not count my calories burned via activity as it often leads to weight gain.

@Jthanmyfitnesspal Good to hear! My cross-country coach in college used to say that, "You can't outrun a bad diet". It is always difficult to tweak caloric intake when limited in activity. I am going through the same thing right now, dealing with a shoulder rotator cuff. I am in Physical Therapy, and limited with my…

Yep, that Fast Food always lets you down. I feel the same way after eating it.

I had an excellent Memorial Day Weekend, maintained balanced diet during the week, and did another 36hr fast over the weekend while keeping somewhat active within the limitations of my shoulder. Running a little under my goal weight, but within a healthy range. It has been a little tricky tweaking my caloric intake with my…

First day of Physical Therapy today, it went well and I am confident that I will be back to baseline within a couple of weeks. My diet has been adjusted to reflect my lower activity. Goal Weight: 185 Average weight for this week, May 16-22: 181.7 BMI: 23.3 Wishing everyone a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!

@mkksemail Although people have gotten good results with weight loss with Prolon FMD. As I am in maintenance mode, my main reason for fasting was to promote autophagy. Fasting is the most effective way to promote autophagy, and with the Prolon FMD, by its nature, limits autophagy because of the presence of sugars and carbs…

@AnnPT77 Thanks for sharing that post Ann, it is helpful. I used the trial and error method to dial in my caloric needs, I also adjusted my Protein/Carb/Fat breakdowns to reflect my more low carb/higher fat diet and increased my fiber intake, as recommended by my RD. The app is not perfect, but it is familiar and…

I found that when you switch your goal weight from losing weight to maintaining that MyFitnessPal over adjusts the recommended caloric intake and I had to go back in and adjust the values manually as I found that I was over eating and gaining weight.

Totally agree Wilelm, it seems like this is a sad reality for all apps. Garmin has now gone the subscription route as well. I do subscribe to myfitnesspal premium, because of, not only the barcode capability, but also the enhanced reporting capability, and also agree that myfitnesspal's food database is one of the best out…

I am new on this group, I have been in maintenance mode since April 1st, and tracking since August 2024. I just finished my weekend 36 hour fast, this is my 4th weekend, and I am getting used to it. The results have been encouraging, and I feel more energized, both during and post fast. I am struggling with a rotator cuff…

@nossmf Not venom at all, there are just so many delicious healthy choices for dinner that, if pursuing a healthier lifestyle, pizza isn’t necessary. We love entertaining and often have great dinner parties, but just make healthier choices. That being said, when a guest, if there is an occasion where pizza was being…

@ChristineManzione Great message! Weight training, coupled with good nutrition is an excellent way to get into good shape, physically and metabolically. My cross country running coach in college used to always say, "You can't out run a poor diet". This really holds true. 1,000 calories/day isn't sustainable, and, for me, I…

@mkksemail I think that the lowering of your cholesterol and blood glucose is maybe even a bigger victory than the weight, especially when it comes to CVD, with MI and stroke risk. Congrats again!
