How often do you step on the scale?
I have weighed daily for a long time and am considering laying off for a while. I’m at my goal weight and want to work on recomp, so the scale may not reflect the changes I’m hoping to see.

? for those with sleep issues
Have any of you ever used a weighted blanket? My sister hasn't been able to sleep more than 2-4 hrs. most nights, in a very long time. Lots of stress in her life.

Question about weight loss patterns.
Hi all! I'm very happy with my weight loss for January - 14 pounds gone and I'm feeling great. I've been hitting my calorie and macro goals pretty consistently (12-1600 calories a day depending on workload and 40% carbs, 40% protein, and 20% fat) so that's all been good. I have plenty of energy and have had no major…
