5’2 females, how are you maintaining?
Time is here for me to maintain at 120lbs after a 51lbs loss, woohoooo! Feels so liberating. I work out 6xs a week (3xs a week I run and 3xs a week I lift), I have gained a lot of muscle which i am so happy about. I was wondering, what is your calorie maintenance? Did you see weight go up at first?

Never ending hunger during Ovulation
Any women deal with this too? I feel like no matter what, I am always hungry...moody too....but definitely VERY hungry lol. It is like nothing is really satisfying and I just want something else after I’m done eating. The struggle of being a woman *sigh*

Well I know for a lot of you, like myself, are having to endure this horrific winter weather. I have never liked the cold, but I was able to tolerate it before I lost weight. Now 52lbs lighter, I can’t handle it at all! Any of you guys can relate?

I’m obsessed
Hey guys, I think many can relate to my personal concerns. As I approach my goal weight, I will of course be on maintenance, but I’m afraid. I find myself worrying that once I get to that point I will feel guilty. I have that “all or nothing” persona that I am trying to change. I want to find that happy medium and stop…

What is the real truth about maintenance?
I have been on maintenance for a few days now and it has been great, although I haven’t eaten my entire maintenance calories, I’m usually under. I did weigh myself today and I am up .2. I know that’s not a huge deal, but I had that WTF moment. Now I know that as you add more food to your body it is bound to adjust due to…

Is maintaining suppose to feel this great?
Kind of boasting here a little, I know, but gosh I worked my butt and then some to get where I am today. 5’2, 120lbs, starting weight was 171lbs so I lost 51lbs in total. Now that I’m on maintenance it feels amazing, obviously because it is such a great accomplishment, but also great because of how freeing it feels. That…

Do calories change on your birthday?

Cheat meals
For those who do cheat meals, how do you yours? I've only had a few over the span of 4 months, but I still try to be mindful and not go over in calories. Also there is the guilt factor but I know it helps me keep sane. The bottom line for me is trying to find a healthy outlook on food and not viewing it as cheating but…

My weight has always yo-yoed, I have even suffered from an eating disorder for half of my life, which is still something I am still working on especially now as I am losing weight the healthy way.
