10 Day Challenge
Day 6 - I struggle with this challenge - simply a mirror of my constant struggle. I went way over on calories. I did not get in a workout. What I learned - meal prep is key - by individual packed meals. Workout in morning. If no time, do at least a 7 minute workout

I’m struggling with weight loss
I’m a teen (f) who weights 155 lbs at 5’2. I’ve been working out for 17 days so far and all I’ve seen is more muscle. I decided to start restricting calories to see if it changes everything. Can I please have some advice to help me? Edit- just realized I’m on the wrong board.

I miss bread
Bread is my weakness. I could probably eat a whole loaf in a day. I’ve been missing it so much, especially with my eggs in the morning. So I figured out an alternative a couple days ago. I shred a (red skin) potato into the air fryer, no oil, layer it thin and long. Air fry it until the hashbrowns are nicely toasted and…

Scale question
A couple weeks ago I started MFP and I have a 1280 cal goal to lose a 1 lb per week. I'm maintaining my weight so I haven't seen much difference. Maybe a scale with help. But im not sure how to utilize it. I see that others use a scale. How do you know how much food you need? Is there a guide that's easy to follow?
