my goal weight is 120lbs. i am usually under my calories for the day and people tell me i need to eat more to lose but i am worried i will gain

first of all congrats on your progress. i have plateaued and everyone says it is because i need to eat more but i am worried if i up my calories i will GAIN weight instead of losing. what is your take on this. will eating more help me lose and improve my metabolism or is my body used to eating less calories and if i…

why does everyone say to eat all of your calories back? i have not been for the last few months and stopped losing but i am worried that if i eat more i will gain! what is the deal?

how tall are you?

i have been asking about this. i have been stuck at 130lbs when my goal is 120lbs. many people said i am not eating enough and need to consume more of my calories but i worry that because i have been exercising and eating at the same rate for so long, if i start to eat more i will gain instead of losing

I appreciate all of the input. My goal weight is 120lbs. i only want to lose because i am not happy with my stomach. i want it to be flat and i tend to lose (and gain) all of my weight there so i figure if i lose another ten lbs i will be happier with my stomach as i have weighed less when i was younger and was satisfied…

i just tried it for the first time. i made a tofu stirfry. The thing with tofu is that it has no flavor so it is all about how you cook it and what sauces ect. you put on it. It was really filling and the stirfry turned out good but personally i dont like it due to its texture. it is soft and mushy

i dont eat a lot of junk. as i said i love mcdonalds ice cream cones and i eat alot of fiber one cereal bars but they have 9 grams of sugar. i am not losing any weight anymore and i am wondering why

i understand this and i generally eat good. i eat fruit and veggies and lean meats and protein but i also have an addiction to mcdonalds ice cream comes which are only 150 calories. So if i eat mostly healthy food but eat an ice cream cone everyday (theroertically) is this ok? as long as i do not go over my calories?

i started at 150 but i lost the 20lbs before i started MFP by just working out. i started MFP at 130lbs in january. I dropped down to 125lbs in four months but then i went back to 130lbs. now i am just stuck here. does it really matter what foods i eat as long as i am within my calorie goal?

everyone keeps telling me i need to eat more but i have two problems with this idea. ONE: if i am not hungry i do not want to just eat to consume more calories and TWO: i am scared that because i have been eating and exercising this way for so long that my body is used to it and if i start to eat more i am going to GAIN…

ooopppsss fixed it

what if i am not hungry though? i never feel deprived and i dont want to eat just to eat if i am not truly hungry

thanks for the input. no i do not eat like a whole meal but i may eat some low cal ice cream some peanut butter or some popcorn. If this is not the problem then what are your suggestions on how to lose the weight? I am 5'7 and weigh 130. my goal weight is 120. i may lose a few pounds or gain a few but i always return to…

thank you for the suggestions. i have heard so many different things. high-intensity intervals sound like a good idea. I have noticed that i consume more sugar than i should but alot of it comes from fruit and vegetables(especially corn which is my favorite) i try to eat a decent amount of calories but sometimes i am just…
