  • I've been in maintenance for a while now but I still keep track of calories intake and weigh myself on an InBody 570 at the gym. I give myself a couple pound up and down as normal fluctuation from my maintenance weight. I don't worry about a couple pounds since I know what I am eating. It has always gone back down. There…

  • Just finished Black Cherry Blues (Dave Robicheaux series) by James Lee Burke. Now starting Curse of the Jade Lily (Mac McKenzie series) by David Housewright.

  • Yes, I think I plan to, at least for the most part. I weigh myself twice a week (same days in the morning before eating or working out). I am in maintenance and feel a bit more relaxed about logging every scrap I put in my mouth, mostly because I can see in the diary where I am. Like a lot of people I have had success,…

Trainers tell you to lift more weight to…

  • I have been using MFP off and on for weight some weight loss over the years but never paid any attention to the community part of the program.

  • I agree with the comments. Your weight could easily be 105# and still be very healthy. Use MyFitnessPal App and factor in your walking with a slow weight gain. I think you will be amazed at how much you can eat. I would also recommend you look at what calories you take in and adding some strength to your walking even if it…
    in calorie intake for maintenance?? Comment by DickAich August 2019
  • Sorry ... I don't fit this group, but I am wondering if any of you "kids" might have seen a group here for the retired group. I'm 70, maintaining and working to lower body fat percentage. If anyone knows were to point me, thanks. Otherwise, keep up the great work I see here.
