How do you get your head (self image, self-talk, confidence) to catch up with your weight loss?
I am 4 pounds from my goal weight and find myself second guessing my success. Lately my habits have helped weight loss seem “too easy” and I expect to wake up any day and find that I’ve regained the 35 pounds I’ve lost, or that once I hit my goal that I won’t be able to maintain it (like the yo-yo weight I’ve done my…

MyPalFitness is telling me 2200 calories still after achieving my weight gain goal of 125.
I thought once I reached my goal, it'll go down so as I can maintain and keep the goal. Another thing is when I put in my weight in another app called MyDiaryNet, it tells me 1785 Cals a day to maintain my weight of 125. Is MyPalFitness not going to update?
