What is maintenance?
I am SO CONFUSED on figuring out what my maintenance would be. I'm 5'5, 120lbs (and wanting to stay there) currently eating 1400. I dot know how much I can eat without gaining. I ate 1600 today and now I'm terrified that I'll balloon again :( HEEEEELLLLPPP MEEEEEEE.

How has MFP changed your life?
Aside from the obvious (weight loss) how has MFP changed your life? MFP has definitely changed my life.

Just upped my calories and I'm freaking out
Hello, I've been tracking diligently with MFP since December and I have managed to lose weight at the standard 1200 without eating back my exercise calories. After reading a lot of posts on this forum, I have worked out my BMR and if I'm sedentary (I'm not) then at my goal weight my body would burn 1643 calories. I'm now…
