So far, the app has been WONDERFUL in giving me a visual & guidance to help me reach my goal weight!!! I had 82 lbs to lose to get to 120lbs.; I’ve lost 14 so far!
But once I get there, how do I use it to maintain my desired weight???
Will I still be able to see the dashed blue line, in the weight stats, to check my daily weight by???

Hi OntarioAngel245- Welcome to MyNetDiary! Glad you found us! The app transitions with you as you lose weight. Meaning it will update your calorie budget. Continue updating your progress and tracking your intake. Once you reach your goal the app will prescribe a calorie maintenance budget for you. Have you checked out our blog? You might enjoy this article which goes into greater detail around how the app works: https://www.mynetdiary.com/planning_weight_and_calories.html
Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. Best, Joanna (MyNetDiary Dietitian)

I’ve been within 1 to 2 pounds of my goal weight for about a year. Weighing once a week. However, I’m constantly going over my calorie budget. Even though I eat moderately. I’m exercising regularly. I can see my body toning and muscles forming. Lately I have felt hungrier. How do I use to numbers (calorie budget and macros) to get a more realistic and usable calorie/macros budget to maintain weight?

Hi Zenovia,
Congratulations to reaching and maintaining your goal weight. That represents lots of hard work!
I assume you have updated your plan to reflect your current weight and maintenance goal?
Do you add exercise calories to your budget? If not, that could explain why you are maintaining weight while going over your budget.
The calorie budget for maintenance is an estimate. It works well for most people, but you can override the calculated budget in MyPlan. You might start by increasing your calorie budget by 100-150 calories to see how that works for you.
