Tanita Scale --- Standard vs Athletic?
I posted this in the motivation forum, but then I realized it's probably more fitting in this one.. I am super bummed right now. I've been working so hard at the gym every day for a month. I've been eating pretty clean, haven't drank any alcohol, trying to eat more so I can gain some muscle. I felt like I was starting to…
