Hello. I am using dumbbells as well. I purchased the Power Blocks last year and I love them. They are adjustable dumbells and for beginners and they save a lot of space. They go from 3 pounds to 24 pounds per hand.

Don't buy that type of food. If it's in your house, you'll eat it. You sound like you like lots of sugar. I'm like that too!

Don't ONLY do squats. You need to work out all muscles in your glutes. Don't take it overboard either. Our society is unfortunately focused so much on vanity. Don't get caught up in the idea that you have to have a butt like Nicki Minaj or have hips like Shakira or thighs like Beyonce. Just appreciate what you got and work…

What helps me is packing in extra bananas and nuts. There are lots of nuts you can choose from like almonds (which are my favorite), walnuts, pecan nuts, peanuts and etc. Add in some bananas (which are on average 100 cals each) and you should be good to go. Just add in the nuts before or after you go to work You could…

Mainly I get fructose, but I get refined sugar from cereals and granola/cereal bars.

I've lost 2 pounds in the past 2 weeks and I usually always go over my sugar, daily. I was always told it was a calories in/calories out idea. As a matter of fact, there are lots of people here on FitnessPal who eat whatever they want, just as long as they stay within their calorie-goal limit.
