When you switch to maintenance you suddenly realize you have more calories to play with than you know what to do with... Probably Christmas food will fix that :D

Falling from one extreme into the other is in no way healthy or recommended. The idea is to get to a healthy weight while maintaining good nutrition

Awesome work!

@kshama2001 Zappos doesn't ship outside of the USA. The OP is in a small Northern European country. OP, I feel for you. I would certainly be tired with the routine you describe. I second (or third) the advice to get new walking shoes shipped to you, or even some old ones you left behind at your family's house. I also like…

@RunsWithBees What a great transformation! And I get what you're saying about posture. It doesn't get talked about nearly enough, and it makes such a big difference to our looks. How did YOU go about improving your posture?

Would you be less nervous if you gained 5 or 10 pounds? If so, set MFP to gain slowly @ .5 pound/week or less and start a strength training routine that will compliment your running. To my thinking, that would be one way to feel empowered. But I'm in a very different situation so YMMV. Good luck!

Fixed it for you :D

@KickassAmazon76 You say 'liked' ... Is it no longer available for download? I've had it in my phone for a while, so possible...

I get a lot of my iron from smoked mussels and instant oatmeal.

I've wanted to get one for months. What kind do you have and how did you find the workouts?

Don't wait for tomorrow. Start today!

I've seen some incredible transformations on MFP and STILL yours is IMPRESSIVE.

You made the right choice; instead of wallowing you fixed something you CAN control. And age? What age? You look 15 years younger. I looked twice to make sure ;)

I would get a wall-mounted bar that can attach it to studs with proper hardware. Nothing sets one back as much as injuries. That door frame looks ready to splinter. Good luck!

WTG! You are already reaping countless health benefits of weightloss and it shows! Now for turning those changes into a sustainable long term lifestyle. You can do it!

I caught my dog when he decided he liked freedom in the park more than staying on my good side 🙂 I ran after him and it felt fabulous: light on my feet, no pain, just incredible. Just for perspective: I have had intermittent foot pain from injury for a decade. 47 pounds lost and a million steps walked later, I'm a new…

So cool! You are shrinking as your kittens are growing. Great work!

My advice is to really log your food. You've very little to lose and so inaccuracy is holding you back.

What are you using it for? I liked it for my herniated disc but not for my ankles. Still have it languishing the back of my storage locker, lol

The official recepies on here are a recent addition. So don't worry about cooking them if you don't want to. People have been losing weight on MFP for ages, and it's quite simple to do. Choose a reasonable rate of weightloss, log every day and stick to the calories alotted. The best additional tool to use with MFP is a…

For downhill skiing please don't neglect to have your bindings adjusted after significant weightloss. They will keep protecting you from injury that way.

It could also be that under the pressure of current events both restaurants are struggling to keep ingredients fresh and the kitchens staffed. In such a situation it's easy to imagine quality and even food safety being impacted. Feel better soon, OP!

Shutting down negative self-talk can have incredible effect on weightloss success. Believe me I know. Easier some days than others, true. However, a continuous effort toward healthier thinking as well as healthier living has a synergistic effect.

Only if you pet him when he does something right ;)

Oatmeal is not that great a source of fiber. Despite what it says on the front of the box in big print. Most of what is written on cereal boxes comes straight from the mouth of grain lobbies. Unless you want to eat it for its taste, or the fact that you need the added iron, look elsewhere for amazing fiber content. Like…

Everyone posting before me have ably addressed the question of the 'doctor' and 'diet' she recommended. So let's address your stress. Find workouts you like and can do now while the gym is closed. Try them. Repeat. I personally recommend yoga to everyone who is struggling with stress. It has helped me so much with mine.…

10 gram of blackstrap molasses in my first (and usually only) cup of coffee. I need the iron, and I want the sweetness. Then I add 80-100 ml of skim lactose-free milk.

You can bank them for the next day or the weekend. I get hungry the day after an intense workout. Maybe you so too Some people like to have an indulgent meal once a week. Basically you can view your calorie budget as weekly. Whatever works.

I need to see a video of how you do that. Preferably while wearing a funny hat and making pigeon sounds. Call me whimsical....
