Hmm I'm not an expert so hopefully someone will chime in here, but if I recall from one of my classes correctly High weight low reps is mainly for bulking/building muscle, whereas Lower weight higher reps is for endurance and toning, but again hopefully someone can chime in as I'm not sure I'm remembering that correctly.

Calorie counting is what helped me get a handle on my food intake. I'd tend to feel very guilty if I went over my goals. There are also those times when I've hit my goal but I'm still just really hungry, for those times I began eating lots of celery, it's very low cal and great for you.

Willpower. Holy cow this was a hard one for me. I started out really poorly. I started to realize I would literally eat just because I was bored. So I started only allowing myself to eat Celery when this happened. It's not the most tasty snack but it helped me kick the habit of reaching for food at all when I was bored.…

I also weigh myself every Sunday. I feel like once per week shows the most significant changes when you've made progress. I found when I was weighing myself daily I'd get discouraged due to weight fluctuations now I just get discouraged on my rest day, work out my emotion and head back to the gym the next day haha.

I'm up for it. I'm about 40 days into the app but am still only really using it for the calorie counting/progress charts. It may take me a bit to figure out all it's functions.
