Best Method for Calculating Calories Weekly
Hi all, I'm shifting into maintenance (really, been there for the last four months or so), and wanted to start calculating calories weekly. It matches more accurately my patterns, which are to eat somewhat abstemiously during the week and more indulgently during the weekends. For those of you who calculate your calories in…

Amazon prime pantry
Do any of you purchase healthy pantry items on prime pantry? If so, which are your current favorites? I'm contemplating switching to prime pantry from Costco: with just two in our household, the Costco sizes can be a little large. Thanks in advance.

Losing while maintaining
Hi, everyone: I'm currently close to my goal of 135 or 26" waist, whichever comes first. (Started at 160, 30" waist). When I reached 138 pounds, I switched to maintenance, which for me is 1600 plus eating back any exercise calories, which I almost always do. However, I'm continuing to lose. I know things will even out, but…

Images of thighs with measurements
Hi everyone, I know that there are websites that can show you what people look like at a particular weight or body fat...is there something similar for thighs? I ask because I think I have a very distorted sense (at least according to my partner) of what my thighs look like, even after losing almost 4 inches in them and 30…

Help figuring out my activity setting
Hi, everyone: I wondered if some of you could help me figure out my activity setting. I am currently set to "slightly active," with the goal of losing about .5 pounds per week.

when did you transition to maintenance?
Hi everyone, I have lost about 23 pounds since last July. I am currently 45, 5'6 and weigh 140. I didn't really have a specific weight in mind, but was aiming more towards being a solid size 6 or so, which would probably mean a weight of around 135. At any rate, I'm close to where I think I want to be based on…

Weight gain switching from WW to MFP?
I've lost about 23 pounds, 9 of which I've lost on WW. I'm close to my goal, and wanted to transition to MFP, which seems to me to be a better tool for longterm maintenance. However, I'm wondering about gaining weight. Background: I had been steadily losing about 1.4 pounds a week on WW. This week I tracked only on MFP as…

traveling without internet--tracking suggestions?
Good morning! I am new to MFP, but am currently about 7 pounds from my goal weight. I've been working hard and tracking and measuring my food has been key to my success. (I've been doing WW). This summer I'll be traveling to my partner's family in the midwest. For about 10 days, we won't have internet access (we'll be out…
