Recommendations for weight MAINTENANCE app

Hi all! I’ve met my goal weight through dietary changes and exercise. I use MyNetDiary to track meals, nutrition, calories in/out.

it was great for weight loss, but I’m finding it lacking for weight maintenance. It’s frustrating that it doesn’t account for “normal” weight fluctuations of a pound or two and insists on calling it ”weight gain” in the weekly recap emails.

I’m looking for something with more positive/neutral terminology and a more intuitive understanding of regular fluctuations that occur due to water weight, etc.

Anyone know of a good app for this?

Weight loss & Holidays.

Do you guys cheat on holidays or continue your diet? If you did cheat…Anybody else beat their self’s up over cheating on the holidays ?

I’ve been beating myself up for cheating on Thanksgiving & not being able to workout much last week. I was so scared to check the scale….finally checked the scale today & I didn’t gain any weight ! Actually lost 2 more pounds . About 40lbs more to go & I’ll officially be out of the 200’s . Im excited but a little nervous as well . I’ve been on every diet you can think of since I was probably 8 years old & when I get closer & closer to my goal weight I become obsessive & start doing stuff the unhealthy way & causing me to fall backwards every time. Thanksgiving has helped my outlook a little & made me realize I don’t have to obsess so much lol but on the other hand…realizing I only have to loose 40lbs more to be out the 200’s is tempting me to go on a fast or something to speed up the process 😂

I’ve lost 50lbs and I’m still unhappy with the way I look

I’ve always been a little bigger my whole life. I still remember being in 3rd grade and believing that I was fat even though I wasn’t really. But the summer of 4th grade, where I just sat inside and played Minecraft all day, was when I actually got fat. I went through middle school and most of high school overweight. I tried multiple times throughout high school and middle school to lose weight but I was never successful. I truly believed that because I was overweight nobody would want me. I was severely insecure about myself and hated pictures of myself. But I always thought that if I lost weight that I would be happy. Well, at the start of 2024 I told myself that I would finally lose weight, and I did. I’m 6’ 1’’ and I went from 225 to 175 in about 3 months. I definitely didn’t lose it in a healthy way though. I was damn near anorexic. I would only eat about 700 calories a day and I also made sure that I would burn off every single calorie by walking. I would walk almost 10 miles a day during this time. I understand now that this was extremely unhealthy and I don’t recommend doing this. But now I’ve lost 50 pounds and I’m still unhappy with the way I look. When I was overweight I would imagine people complimenting me on my weight loss, but now when it actually happens I don’t feel anything. I feel like I’m still overweight, I know I’m not but I’m just not happy with myself. I just don’t know what else to do. I’m not trying to lose weight anymore because I know if I did I’d be an unhealthy weight but I just still am so unhappy with myself.

Scared of losing weight due to sagging (.)(.)

Hi! I managed to lose two stone in weight through working out/exercise and nearly got down to the third stone off, which then put me at a healthy weight (though I think I'm probably a bit more stocky and muscular than an 'average' woman of 5 ft 5).

However, when I got to my lowest weight, my boobs got very saggy, thin and stretched, which I didn't expect with just a three stone weight loss. I ended up putting eight pounds back on (went through a stressful time) and now my boobs have filled out more nicely again, albeit with a few stretch marks. The problem is, I'm now afraid of losing weight again because I'm worried they will sag again if I go too low.

I know this is such a shallow, aesthetic thing, but how my boobs went the first time keeps blocking me from wanting to lose that last half a stone or so. When I'd lost all the weight, I loved how my face, arms and stomach (which bugs me the most at the moment) looked, but I didn't like how thin my legs looked in addition to my boobs.

Should I try and lose maybe a couple of pounds and see how it goes? I fear I may just never be quite happy with how I look, but I also know that I shouldn't be yo-yoing and I should just put my health first, but I also don't want to be in a body that is ageing prematurely (I'm 29). Thank you!

Losing weight after recovering from BED

I've been seeing a nutritionist for Binge Eating Disorder for nearly a year. I will probably have my final session with her this week as we regularly find we have nothing left to discuss and I'm not finding logging my food with her particularly helpful anymore. She is firmly anti-weight loss (which I completely understand and this is not a complaint against her whatsoever). She's not into "intuitive eating" or full blown "fat positivity", she's just realistic about the fact that restricting triggers binging, which is totally fair. She wants me to accept my body as it is, but, simply put, I can't and I won't.

It's not like I've been this weight my whole life. I gained about 50lbs two years ago due to mental health meds and birth control (I'm now off both). I just don't feel like myself. I refuse to believe this is how I'm supposed to look and feel.

I haven't had a full-blown binge in probably 6 months. In that time I've had at most one slip up a month where I ate more than I should have/more than I wanted to/more than was reasonable. One of those times was triggered when I briefly attempted to track calories (I promised nutritionist I wouldn't restrict, purely track). Even the act of tracking made me want to binge.

I'm fully on board with the fact that I need to eat three meals a day and 1-2 snacks to feel my best. I'm just wondering...is there any way to lose weight (even slowly) without re-triggering an eating disorder? Have any of you done it? Am I really stuck at this size forever? I have attempted weeks of eating healthier options (without tracking) and my weight stays exactly the same. I've definitely created a new set-point for my metabolism. I already get 8k+ steps a day at work, so it's not like I can jump start weight loss by adding a small amount of activity.

Feel free to discuss however you like. I'm not triggered at all by online convo :) so you don't have to tip-toe around my feelings!

ETA: I noticed a couple down votes. For anyone wondering why I'm posting here and not in the BED support group, pretty much everyone there is in active addiction. It's a mess. I don't want to trigger anyone there by discussing weight loss, and frankly I wouldn't get advice beyond "I just eat like one big binge every three days and it works for me!" My heart is with that community, but this discussion isn't appropriate for it.

Trying this again…

Hey there, I’ve been overweight since I was practically 8, and while I’ve been at weights in which I was happy with my body I am now way over what I want to be.

I’m 5’4 and hit 195 LB today, I’m also female. (I’m also 22)

I was happiest when I was 150 LB although, that’s when I started keto and other diets in a desperate attempt to lose weight.

I was 188 in April of this year, dropped to 170 by June, and have been steadily gaining since.

Along with this weight gain I’ve also experienced hair thickness (my hair was SO thin before) and more energy which leads me to believe my previous attempts at weight loss were unhealthy so I want to try again in the right way, I just need some suggestions.

To start off I’m intermittent fasting just to start getting some discipline into my food life again, lol. Next week I’m going to try a deficit + fasting, and I’ll slowly add cardio into that as well.

For reference, I WFH, I want a walking pad but I’m in the call centre world and unfortunately can’t use a walking pad during shifts… so I barely move.

My hobbies are also all very sedentary, I like drawing, reading, writing. This is why I’ve always struggled to have time for the gym. After my 9-5, cooking, and other house work I usually want to spend my remaining hour or hour and a half just drawing.

My relationship with food has not always been the best, any advice would be helpful.

My goal weight for now is 150 LB again.

Lost a ton of weight the first week, but the second week i lost none at all

Hey folks

So i started focusing on losing weight and getting in shape 2 weeks ago, i wouldn't really say i'm fat, but i had some extra weight at 90kg and 180cm, and also struggled with mobility and joint pain, so i started working out daily and focusing on healthy eating (I don't count calories as i can't really be bothered to do so for every single meal i eat, but i only eat once a day and make sure my macro proportion is good to get fulfilled quicker, as well as slow eating and drinking water), on my first week my weight loss was drastic, way more than normal from what i've seen, i went from weighing 90kg to 85kg, so i lost about 5kg, however on the second week, despite continuing with the same routine, i lost no weight at all.

Now it's perfectly ok if i don't lose weight as fast as the first week, but i don't know why this week my weight stayed the same, i guess it's normal since the more weight you lose the harder it is to lose it, but i'll try to adapt my workout routine and my diet to make sure i keep losing, what is your opinion? Do you think it's normal or should i change something?
