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?

When the day ends
Usually, I don't count my end of day cal untill I go to bed around 2am cuz sometimes I'll eat closer to then. I would count this as technically the day before. The app starts over at 12, so should I continue how I am or end my day at 12 and just count any drinks or anything to the current day. Same for workouts. I usually…
