5'1 Ladies- what are your maintenance calories?
I'm 5'1, 31 years old, desk job. CW= 115. I like to be b/t 110-112, but find myself gaining a few pounds and then having to lose the same 5-6 pounds over and over to get my GW. I am obviously not hitting my maintenance calories correctly.

well, a month off my diet and I have gained about 6-7 pounds back. I think I lost the weight too fast and it came back fast too!

Ideas: breakfast and lunch
For dinner I pretty much have some type of lean protein with veggies. I need ideas for breakfast and lunch. Something filling but not heavy. I usually have a greek yogurt for breakfast and a quest bar or similar for lunch. I need something else to go with the greek yogurt and some other options besides QUEST BARS!

First weekend after reaching goal weight.... i blew it
Well, this was the first weekend after reaching goal weight. I thought I would indulge and just not worry about for the weekend. I made terrible (but yummy) choices and over ate like crazy.

Logging, which day?
I was under my daily calorie intake and woke up starving at midnight! Usually I would drink a bit of water and go back to sleep. This time I ate a quest bar (probably bc it was the closest thing to a "sweet" in the house). Do I log it for yesterday or work it in today? Or split the calories between yesterday and today?

A plateau! Help! Suggestions please
Have I hit a plateau? Logging everyday; pretty much eat the SAME thing daily/weekly. I have been a little loosey goosey the past week or two with a few meals due to work/social events. I didn't gain weight from these events, but I have been the same weight (within a pound) for 3 weeks. Suggestions?

I am now 2 lbs away from my goal weight and for the past week have had intense cravings for "something sweet" right after eating dinner (which is always lean protein and veggies). Last night I pigged out on eggo…
