Maintenance calorie help needed please
Yup, one of those threads so thank you in advance! I'm 5'8 on a good day, 132 pounds, and I think I'm ready to begin experimenting with maintenance. Someone a while ago suggested I bump from 1,300 calories to 1,520 which I've done for two weeks. Now I'm wondering if that's too much. I just checked the SailRabbit BMR…

Mental hurdles?
Anyone else? I'm nearly finished...I'm on week 7. A few weeks ago I "ran" a 5K. It was a very humbling 42 minutes. My problem now is I'm downright scared to keep running. I've been nursing a knee injury which truth be told might not be as bad as it seems. I have another 5K coming up on July 24th and a 10K in September. I…

5'7/5'8 gals, maintenance cals?
I'm nearly to goal and I'm experimenting with cals. I'd love to hear what ya'll are doing. I'm listed as sedentary (desk job) and am running abut six miles per week. Thanks in advance!

Ramen for lunch. My first authentic ramen!
I'm thinking 600 calories might be a safe guess? I'll be getting the regular bowl, not the large. Probably pork.

Kind of annoyed. Ladies, come in.
Nearly to goal and swimming in my 36DD bras (US) I excitedly asked to be measured, anticipating a 34D. While I am indeed a 32/34 I was told I'm actually a DDD. I feel so bogged down with these things! I feel like a trussed cow.

Cornmeal addition ideas
I adore cornmeal and I love making porridge from it to take into work for breakfast. The problem is it's very low in protein. So far I've tried adding peanut butter (yuck) and queso fresco (fail). Any other ideas I haven't considered? Thanks!

Need support re: negative comments.
I'm so tired of negative comments from coworkers! How little I'm eating (I'm eating a safe amount, don't worry), how thin I've become (I'm within normal limits). Unfortunately I'm not one who can magically let all things roll off of my back. It takes a minute or two to get back into positive head-space. How have you dealt…

I just woke up from an intense food dream.
I was in a cheese/restaurant/jewelry shop (wtf?). They would match jewelry to you along with cheeses and small plates. I had my eye on a black opal ring. To start we were served fish boil and a standing rib roast along with various goat cheeses and flat breads. Before tasting anything I looked down at my phone to enter it…

Bought some homemade tamales. Best guess at calories in your opinion?
They're pork. That's all I know. How would you log them?

Did you just "know" when to begin maintenance?
Once I reach my goal weight I might try to lose more (I'm one pound away). How does one realize "enough! Let's maintain!" Can you share with me your stories? Thanks in advance!

Vent - can't always meet goal due to occasional "mental days".
First post so go easy on me! :-) Due to a recent death in the family/depression/anxiety I can't always meet my calorie goal. MFP shaming me for it just makes me feel worse! It happens very rarely and I don't have an eating disorder. Sometimes I just want a hug rather than the shame. ;-) anyone else in my boat?
