After 10 lbs, MFP resets the calories lower???

Is it Dangerous to go over sugar limit for the day???

Best workout to do at home to lift the butt????

Are Headaches Normal When Starting to Eat Less Calories?

What Role does Good Sleep Play in Weight Loss??
I've always been more of a night person, and lately my usual bedtime is 1 am. I get up about 7:30-8am. I know I should go to bed earlier, but I find it so hard, especially since my Mom died in March.

Using Zumba and this site to reach my goals!!
Hello! I'm new to this site and plan to do Zumba at least 4xs a week, and discovered this site.
