@wargame_junkie How aggressive of a calorie goal is that? What's your deficit? Headaches can be a sign of undereating. More than a 500 calorie deficit may be too aggressive for you. If you're eating at a 500 calorie deficit that may still be too steep for you out the gate. You could try...

@stigss Weight can easily fluctuate +/- 5 lbs due to water weight, food or waste in your system, and things like that. If you ate 2lbs of food at dinner and then weighed 2lbs more that makes sense. To be consistent always weight yourself at the same time under the same conditions. For...
