  • Wow... this conversation is hilarious. First of all, I don't think anyone is going to "understand science" by reading any of this. 2nd, people are going to believe the fitness and diet world hype forever because as long as you promise the world, you can sell anything to anyone.

  • Thanks everyone! Those are great tips. I am going to get a new scale (the one at home is years old and hasn't been calibrated) and just stick to it from now on and not worry about weighing in at the gym. I like the idea of weighing in every 4 weeks and taking measurements.

  • Hey! I'm new too! I found the app on my phone because I have been working out like crazy and not losing the weight so I decided to start being accountable for the food I eat.
