  • It gets better, I was 30 + pounds overweight and it was a B now I lost 40 and it’s more like a b, I’m sure that losing 5-10 more will leave me with a small pooch, good enough for me ;)
  • Every time I try the very low carb approach I end up Binge eating...On carbs obviously 🙄 Not necessary IMHO
  • 44 y/o 5’4 I went from 180-138 I’ve Maintained since 2008 ;)
  • It all started on my 44 Birthday back in January, suddenly I gained 6 pounds, that I just can’t seem to be able to lose, last year I was dealing with cold flashes and just recently with hot ones, daily headaches, moodiness, hair loss, skin dryness etc my periods are still regular but I’m sure I’m in Perimenopause! And I…
  • YES I’m a Lifetime Member, I lost 45 pounds 10+ years ago and I’ve been maintaining just fine, I haven’t paid one cent ever since and what I’ve learned with WW is priceless ;)
  • I have UCTD and my hands are very swollen with this bad weather, I gained 5 pounds and the scale won’t budge, I hope it is only temporary, I was diagnosed last year and before that, I lost 50 pounds and could maintain just fine for years... Not anymore :/
  • Not necessarily :neutral: I don’t restrict, or forbid, I can eat at Maintenance and still...It’s just the urge that goes away more quickly by giving in, again BAD HABIT, I think...

  • For me a Binge is when I’m not hungry and I start eating (whatever) thinking but not caring, not stopping for a few hours until my stomach hurts and obviously losing track of cals consumed... This happens to me 1-3 times a week, disorder? Nah Bad habit IMHO :D

  • Because we want it NOW, too bad most of the time we don’t even give a thought about how are we going to Maintain in the long run, if we did we would take our time to learn and make it a LIFESTYLE ...I did on my last attempt (took my time & ate in a balanced way) I lost 45 lbs in almost 2 years, but I’m maintaining for…
  • I’m in!!! I really need to STAY committed... Thank you :) CW 140 GW 132 5’4 (44 y/o) WI day: Saturday
  • I’m 5’4” currently at 140 (size 4-6) I was 135 before the holidays and I wish I could get to 128 which I never did, my lowest a year ago was 130-132 but I don’t feel/see a big difference ;)
  • I’m known for eating and eating while “cleaning” the kitchen, I have to stay as far away as possible :D
  • I’m close to the middle of the Healthy BMI chart and it wasn’t until recently when I went from 5-6 mini meals a day to 3 bigger ones that’s getting flatter, something about being a bit hungry seems to be helping, I’m eating the same amount of cals and my weight it’s the same 😏 Recomp? My workouts are pretty much the same…
  • I lost weight years ago (45 lbs) and got to Lifetime so I’m “lucky” that WW is free for me however I want to lose 5 lbs and Freestyle is not very helpful so I’m tracking cals for a while (I’ve done it on and off) I have a pretty good idea of a healthy plan, I just need to be extra careful with my portions since I’m trying…
  • Because they hate them??? Lol I really love mine!
  • Trying to be perfect one day or forever it’s too much, having a little fun here and there makes the process to maintain for a lifetime doable and enjoyable, I got to my goal eating Ice Cream, Cookies, Cake etc...Close to 10 years ago, I lost 45 lbs and I’m not struggling because I’m not on or off anything :) I tried…
  • I can’t handle high amount of fats (upset stomach) and I do great with carbs so Keto it’s not good a good diet style...For me ;) And I still lost 45+ lbs

  • It all comes down to how bad you want it?? ;)
  • And now I know what I should NEVER eat 1,200 cals or less....Thank you OP!
  • I chose the middle of the Healthy BMI but I still have fat in my abdomen (like 5lbs) I blame it on my small frame and genetics, many ladies heavier than me have a tiny waist :/ right now I’m not willing to cut so I’m focusing on Cardio and weights, little by little my body keeps changing, I feel it when I touch my fat…
  • It’s not uncommon for me to Binge once or twice a week, but then I make sure I keep a small deficit for the rest of my week and at the end it all levels, we just have to be responsible and not eat everything ALL the time...Live & learn ;)
  • I’m a little confused, do you base your daily cals on your Fitbit or what MFP says? TIA

  • I’m 5’4/ 43 y/o 133 lbs and size 4 My maintenance range is 2,000-2,200 cals and to lose 1,500-1,600..I wish I could get to 128-130, but I just can’t (self sabotage) I workout 6 days a week for one hour I’m active all day 12-14K steps and I really love to eat Carbs, my Macros are 50C/25P/25F :)
  • A point value now depends on the quality of food, don’t they say that not all cals are equal??? Well that’s how it changed (short version) Banana= 0 Smart Points (100 cals) VS cookie=3 Smart Points (100 cals)
  • It is quite simple. A WW point is about 38 calories. WW really is a calorie counting system, but they gimmick it up with things like “free” foods. If it works for you, go with it. My wife used it and lost weight. I used mfp at the same time and also lost weight with us eating mostly the same foods. I did most of the…
  • It’s maybe because doing this for so many years you know, or at least I do, I’m always 2-3 lbs heavier on Monday I know it’s because I eat extra Sat-Sun I track my cals back to losing 1,500-1,600 and in 2 days I’m down 2 lbs in 2 more days back to where I started, and every week is the same unless is TOM but because I know…
  • Are you doing this workout every day? I did 2 rounds back to back last year and since I had more fat on me...I didn’t really get any results and my lower back started to hurt, I wonder if I should’ve rest one or two days each week or not :/
  • Yes you look better now! Get a tan and problem solved ;)
