Am I losing too fast? WHAT am I losing?
About a month ago I picked a goal of dropping from 30% body fat (electronic scale reading) to 15%, and try to build enough muscle to give the resulting body some texture, with a deadline of Christmas (when my girlfriend might be back in the country). Starting from 200lbs, a bit of calculation suggested that I needed to…

I really need lots of help. I'm an emotional eater due to stresses in my life at the moment. I need to get healthily for my children and myself. How do I motivate myself to eat well and exercise. I find I dwell on my issues too much and can't move off the sofa. Any advice would be good

Pretend your calorie limit is your team record
If you like sports, I found a good motivational tool. Nine days in, my record is 5-4. Try to update it daily in your notes section. Try to have a winning record. Make it a baseball 162 or basketball 82 game season.

Night shift workers
For those who work the night shift (10pm to 8am here) do you set your clock for a different time zone? I noticed if you don't click "finished" by 3 am in the morning it won't count your days of consecutive log ins. For those who work nights, this is obviously not possible. How far off do you set your time zone/any other…
