    in Just Give Me 10 Days ~ Round 132 Comment by laurenhugs23 November 2020
  • Thank you Jackie for running this thread! Hi Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Lauren and I am a chronic yo-yoer. As evidenced by the fact that I have had a MFP account since July 2012 and I still come back to it and this group when I put weight back on. I used to let myself gain 20 pounds before I would get back…

  • Hello maintainers! I dropped off of mfp and now I'm back. On June 10th I quit smoking and since then I've shot up to the top of my maintenance range through binge eating. I've slipped a few times with the smoking so my current figure is 12.5 days nicotine free and day two of eating at a deficit. I just can't let smoking be…

  • I'm back after exactly a month! I've missed this group quite a bit. But I decided to take a break because my life was super unpredictable last month in terms of tracking and daily weighing. I did a lot of camping and overnights away from home. But now I'm back for a little bit (at least the next 10 days!) And I really need…

  • When I was in school I would put a two heaping spoonfuls of peanut butter, 1 whole banana, two big squirts of honey, 1 cup of whole milk, and 8-10 ice cubes in my magic bullet and the result is a delicious smoothie version of a PB/banana/honey sandwich. Fast and Loaded with calories! My studying was much like your…

    in Below range action Comment by laurenhugs23 May 2019
  • I see, I'm sorry I misunderstood. Ok so (4.5*3500)/51= 308.8 So if I tracked 100% every day and added 2179 cal per week I'd gain back at the rate I lost (if hormones don't go wacky). According to Fitbit so far this week I've gone 500 cal over maintenance. I'm also going drinking in the woods this weekend (camping). I would…

    in Below range action Comment by laurenhugs23 May 2019
  • My initial GW was bmi 20.5, I am currently at bmi 20. It's a minor difference but I don't want my bottom line to keep shifting because the longer I'm at a lower weight the harder it is to see why I wanted bmi 20.5 in the first place so I prefer Swift action. So should I wait until my trend goes out of range? Also I am…

  • While I was losing weight I kept my indulgences to a minimum, but if I had a special event I would do my best to do OMAD, for me this meant over compensating with caffeinated beverages. If I did go way over I would feel less hungry the next day and eat under my calorie goal by a few hundred. My weekly calorie goal would…
    in Intense workouts to outrun the fork Comment by laurenhugs23 May 2019
  • I find my Fitbit to be pretty accurate in determining my Total Daily Energy Expenditure (T.D.E.E), i.e. how many calories I need to consume to be in maintenance. So I highly recommend one, so you can find your baseline. Then take that information and compare to how much you are consuming and use a food scale for accuracy.…

I never had a problem getting there, it was sticking there that was my Achilles heel. I would make it my goal and then once I got there decide I looked to skinny (which…
    in 5’8 ladies Goal of 125 Comment by laurenhugs23 May 2019
  • How old are you? I found that I could pull off 125 in high school but when I did it in my late 20's it super aged me because my face got really hollow. Right now I am maintaining at 133 and super content with my body. I may have more fat on my thighs and midsection (I'm pear shaped), but I actually think I look better in…
