Dress sizes in ladies 5'4-5'7
Ladies between 5'4 and 5'7 who successfully lost weight, I am curious how many pounds did it take you to go down a size (US)? I am trying to picture what size will I wear at my goal of 125-130lb. I am 5'5.5, currently 150lb and wear size 8 or 10, depending on a brand. I don't do any lifting or meaningful resistance…

Why is so little attention given to maintenance?
Over the years, I have found it easy to lose weight when I set out to do so, but I eventually regain it. I don't want to do this cycle anymore. I know if I could keep the motivation going, I can do this. I think I (and the other maintainers) could use more social support for long term success. This community is great, but…

Need help with measuring cooked meals
I have been using MyFitnessPal for a while, so far I have eaten mainly simple assembled meals, premade (mostly frozen) meals or just guestimating pulling meals out of the database. I want to cook more and log more accurately. I can't figure out how to use the recipe tool effectively, especially when making large…

Wow - That had how MANY calories (healthy foods) ?!!?
Piggybacking on my favorite thread here. What healthy foods surprised you as being high calorie/unfilling? For me, it's guacamole ( which I love). It's supposed to be a healthier alternative to sour cream, but one tbsp = 30 calories (Wholly Guacamole Classic), full fat sour cream=24 calorie. Another one is hummus, I can't…
