Newbie To Maintenance
Hi Everyone. This is my first time posting here on the maintenance board. I started my journey in mid August of this last year at 204lbs. I am 5'3" and 47 years old. I originally just wanted to get to 150 and be done but then I kept going to 140...then 130 and made it down to 120. I had this intense "need" to be at what…

Low carb but if it fits, I eat it.
Hi Everyone. I have gotten such wonderful help from people here and reading through all the threads has been an enormous help but I want to make sure I am not screwing up. I happen to be one of those people who don't like a lot of veggies. I can count on 1 hand how many I like and nothing leafy or stalky is on my short…

I can easily stay between 50 and 75 carbs...sometimes lower. Do a lot…

Losing Weight But Not Getting My Calories
Hi. I am only 2 weeks in to my journey. I have lost 10lbs in that 2 weeks but ever since I switched from eating all the frozen meals and fast food and started eating better, I am not hungry. I don't drink coffee so I have a little bit of Soda Stream Cola in the morning to stave off the caffeine headache since I cut WAY…

Macros
Hi Everyone! I am new...only been doing this for 10 days. I had been at 197-199lbs for what seemed like an eternity. I was eating what I wanted and didn't gain or lose. Then what seemed like overnight I shot up to 204.5. It flipped a switch that made me actually realize that I had to do something. I am a 47 year old…
