below goal weight + maintenance calories = goal weight (thoughts?)
For those of you who've been maintaining / recomping a while: First of all, I feel a little silly for asking this, but I've been in a deficit for a long time, am really surprised (in a good way) at where I am now, and am looking forward to moving into maintenance / a recomp. I think I'm pretty close to my goal weight and…

Question @ Calories / Activity Level -- been at this for over a year
I have a question. Some background: When I lost most of my weight -- from the 230s now to 112 (5', F, 46) -- I did it through a calorie deficit. I only sat all day, and if I ate more than 1100 I would not lose anything. I've been badly injured and have been recuperating. (I was with doctors this whole process.) Now, I am…

Recomp? Keep losing? Bodyfat %?
I am hoping those of you with more experience (and who are not in my head) can help me with something. I'm 5'1" (almost) and fluctuate between 116-118. I'm not sure what to do. Sometimes I think I am "there" and done with dieting. Then, sometimes all I can see is fat left to lose. I'd like to get leaner, stronger, and more…

Weighing Food = Quite an Eye Opener
I'm nearing the end of my losing phase -- thankfully -- and have about 10 lbs to go, and it seems there is no room for error at this point. Last week I purchased bread; I don't even remember the last time I've had it (just don't really like it, overall, but for some reason now I want toast). The package says 2 slices are…

What's Happening? Looking much different after just one week ...
I have a question for those with more knowledge / experience than I: I'm just able to get into the gym to lift weights after 7 months of not being able to do anything due to an injury. This week, I've gone to the gym and lifted weights (only upper body until my leg heals) three times for about 20-25 minutes total. I am…

Fitness Trackers: How do you use the data? Favorite features / settings?
I recently purchased a refurbished Garmin Viviosmart HR. Works fine, but no instructions or info included in the package. Basically, I just charged it, put it on, and scroll through the screens every so often. I was just going to start digging around to understand the basic set up for it -- the underlying premise, if you…

Surgery for Loose Skin After Success / Now Maintaining?
Anyone on here ever have surgery to remove loose skin when all was said and done and now you're maintaining? If so, how was your experience? Would you mind sharing the cost (and the city in which you live so I / we can get a sense of price in our area)? Pics would be cool, too. I know it's possible that with time it…
