Thanks so much! MFP community is truely a supportive group:). I have (or rather, had) type 2 diabetes, and that's why I decided to lose weight (when I was 175lbs). Personally, I find fats and protein more satiating than carbs, but perhaps I should try experimenting more with changing up my macros (I'm eating 100+g of…

Hmm interesting, it's also reassuring that the effect of AT is not as bad as I thought it would be during maintenance (after I read the study about the suppressed metabolism contestants of the Biggest Losers have even after weight gain, I freaked out a bit). If I can only eat 1800 calories to sustain my maintenance weight…

I appreciate the advice to be patient when it comes to losing the last 10-20lbs. And an update to you all, after two (uh, TMI warning) sudden bowel movement yesterday, I weighed myself today in the morning, and I lost 0.4lb! It's not a huge drop on the scale, but hey, I'll take it :smiley:

Thanks for the congrats, and yep, I have been doing strength training (and is now actually starting to lift weight![although quite light because I don't want to injure my rookie back]). I have tried monitoring my weight on a daily basis by using a trending weight app, but I realized that it probably is not my best choice…

Thanks! It's reassuring to hear experiences from other people (especially ones who have the same height lol). It's interesting how when people within a healthy BMI want to lose weight, they lose it in "whooshes". I hope you stay warm with gloves and blankets :smile:

Thanks for all the responses! It shed some light into what my caloric intake may be when I reach maintenance:) According to this website (https://www.supertracker.usda.gov/bwp/) from USDA, it predicts what the maintenance calorie when you reach the weight will be. I did an experiment: I plugged in my past weight (175lb) as…

Got it, thanks! Oddly enough, i rarely experienced a 2-week-long plateau during my 50lb weight loss, but now I guess it's time to accept the fact that weight loss will be slower.

Thanks so much! I'll keep the deficit and give it some time.

Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah perhaps I'm just getting too paranoid at the scale number. Ideally I would love to see a linear weight loss, but sadly that's not how life works. I'll keep tracking and see where it goes.
