3 months, 4lbs lost. So frustrating!
Hello everyone, I’ll begin with my stats: F, 37yo, 5’2, 112lbs. I have been logging for 3 months now (with the exception of last weekend when I was away). I am weighing and measuring everything (down to cooking sprays, etc). I started mid April at 116, and I have been stuck at 112-113 for 4-5 weeks now. I’ve been eating…

Struggling
Hello everyone, I'm F, 35, 111lbs, 5'2. I have been on this journey of weight loss in the past about 4.5 years ago. I went from 130lbs (if I remember correctly) to 103 at my lowest. I feel my best at about 107-108. I maintained that for awhile, had a baby, dropped back down to about 110 which is where I've been for the…

At what point did you get your rings re-sized?
My wedding/engagement ring have been loose for awhile now, but since we are now having winter weather where I live, I find that they are really, really loose (cold hands all the time). I'm a little worried about losing them, but I would like to stay at my current weight for awhile to be sure I can maintain it before…

Should I drop my calories again?
Hello everyone! For those of you who don't know my story (which is probably most), in a nutshell here it is: Stats are 5'2, f, starting weight was 130lbs on July 28, current weight (as of Nov. 7) was 113lbs. I would like to lose a couple more lbs (110-112 I think would be good 'range' for me, I have a small frame). To lose…

My maintanence cals can't really be less than 1450, right?!

Protein bars and weight gain?
Hi everyone! Just a quick blurb on where I am with my weight loss: I am 5'2, starting weight 130lbs, and a week ago I was down to 113lbs, however today the scale reads 115lbs. For awhile I was eating 1200cal/day but found it quite difficult, so as I approached my goal weight (of 112lbs) I started upping my calories by…

Transitioning to maintenance
Hello everyone, I am just about at my goal weight and I'm just wondering what's the best way of transitioning to "maintenance calories"? I am currently eating about 1200-1300 cals a day and MFP says somewhere around 1670 is my daily allowance for maintaining my weight. I am worried if I suddenly start eating at maintenance…

Why different calorie goals, depending on which calculator?
I just tried the Ultimate Weight Loss calculator. It tells me that at my height (5'2), weight (116lbs) and activity level (lightly active), I should aim to eat 1296 cals per day to lose 1lb a week. MFP's calculator tells me that I should be eating 1200 per day to lose 1lb a week. So why the difference, and which one do I…

Frustrated with the scale!
I really hope my bathroom scale just needs a new battery! :angry: I was under my calorie goal (of 1200/day) almost every day last week with my exercise added in, and this morning my scale says I have gained 1lb since last weigh in (on Sept 12). I have really been struggling with not giving into my cravings, which there…

Can someone help me calculate cals burned?
Hi everyone, I usually get my cardio in by doing a power walk/run on my treadmill. Today, I decided to take my 2yo out and go for a power walk/run in the stroller, but I'm not sure how to add in any lost calories. I went for 25 minutes and when I do that on the treadmill I burn somewhere around 200 calories, maybe 230…

Recipe importer is giving wrong calories
Why, when I use the "recipe importer", does it give me an insane number of calories? When I further investigate it's telling me completely wrong things like 1, 540ml can of chick peas is 4883 calories? On the can I have it says that 250ml (1c) is 210. And on another recipe it somehow changed grated carrots to grated…

Changed weekly goal, calories stay the same?
Hi everyone! For awhile I had my weekly goal set to lose 1lb a week and I was given a daily calorie allowance of 1510. I lost 10lbs and updated my weekly goal to lose 1.5lbs, and was given daily calorie allowance of 1200. Then today I decided to change my goal again and lowered my weekly goal to 1lb a week, but MFP is…

Can someone help me figure out these cals?
Hello everyone! I hope you're all having a great day. :) Can someone help me figure out the calorie content (even approx.) in these muffins? My kids and I LOVE them, they are absolutely delicious. We don't use the nuts or coconut (I have a nut allergic 2yo), I also cut the sugar to 1/2C, and we don't use the frosting. I…

Q about weight loss cals and maintenance cals
Hi everyone!

Activity level?
I am a stay at home mom, and I do a fair amount of housework, playing with kids, etc. I have my activity level set to 'lightly active', since although I am on the go a lot (errands, etc.) I don't know if I consider that being seriously active (although I am toting a 25lb toddler most of the time!). Does it sound like my…

Weight loss slow down after 4 weeks
Hi everyone, I've been using the MFP app since late July, but I am new to the message boards. So, hello everyone! :wave I started out with 15-20lbs that I want to lose.
