Single serving of snacks vs full size.
I found that instead of buying a full bag of chips for example I buy the single serving bags, yes it cost more but really helps me with not over eating. Does anyone else do this or do I need to work on will power? :(

Is it harder to lose weight once you gained it back?

How do you get over this mindset?

Is it ok to eat back your "unused" calories all in 1 day?

What can I do to get over losing 1 pound a month?
I am about 25 pounds away from my goal. But for the past months I have only been dropping 1 pound or so a month with the same calories (1,500) and exercising (walking 12 miles/week).

How do you mentally reset when you feel you're losing track?
I am losing a good amount of weight with diet+exercising. After becoming comfortable knowing I can lose weight it feels I am getting more lazy now. Does this happen to everyone and how did you reset yourself to get that motivation back as when you first started?

When is it safe to lower your calories?
I am currently at 1,500 calories a day but weight loss has slowed down as I get closer to my goal. Is it safe to lower my calories to 1,200 or day or should I let MFP determine what is best?

I bought https://www.target.com/p/high-capacity-digital-scale-white-black-taylor/-/A-50281738 which I see is not very accurate, I put 10 pound weights on it and it comes out as 9.8 pounds, you cannot calibrate the scale either. If you step off the scale and go back on the weight is different sometimes. Any suggestions on a…
