Switch to maintenance? Or keep losing?
So, after months of struggling to break through a plateau, I switched up a few things, and the "last" 6lb came off quite easily. I am 5'5", and sitting at 135lb. That weight is fine. But I'm still at a higher bf% than I want. About 28%. Am I better to keep cutting for another few months to get the bf down before I…

Food without Brakes
What are your food without brakes? Food that you have no self control with, whether they're healthy or unhealthy them overall, once it's there you can't help but eat until it's no longer there. And how do you successfully avoid or moderate them? One of mine is nuts - especially pistachio or macadamia nuts. I think that…

Setting calorie goals
How has everyone else come up with their calorie goals? At the moment I have mine set quite low, but with the activity level also set low so on most days I get a decent fitbit adjustment (if I don't spend all day on the couch!)

Food you don't bother logging
I think everyone has a line, where is yours? Where's your conscious margin of error? Do you log herbs and condiments? Tea? The squeeze of lemon in a glass of water? Green leafy vegetables? The taste of someone else's plate? I am trying to be more diligent at logging the details. Trying to focus on mindful eating and…

Carbs in Natural Yoghurt
I'm lucky that my body tolerates dairy, and 1/2 to 1 cup of yoghurt has always been a favourite breakfast choice. I like to think that the probiotics make a difference as well. When I have time, it's homemade yoghurt, when life gets in the way, it's nothing added, full fat. These days my body doesn't deal well with lots of…

bf% - deficit or not?
Forgive me for asking what may seem like a really basic question, but trying to search for an answer has left me confused with contradictory information. I'm pretty much at my goal weight, give or take, having lost the 14kg/30lb I needed to lose. (I'm 5'5", and now 60kg, so bmi of 22) But my bf% is still a little higher…

Looking for some diary feedback - re plateau
So just over 6 months ago I changed to a primal eating style in response to a high level of inflammation presenting as rheumatoid arthritis. One of those wonderful stories, within a few weeks, the intense pain symptoms went away - awesome! My CRP scores went from 200+ to 8. But I also needed to lose some weight, and the…

Girl from Oz
Hi all, I have been using MFP on and off for a while now, but just started being more diligent in the last few weeks.

Fitness and exercise has never come naturally to me, though a love…
