How hard was it for you to get to your goal when you started to get close?
I am about 20 pounds away from my goal but things are really slowing down. This month I only lost 1 pound, not to worried about that as long as I am not gaining weight. Is this normal for everyone?

banking macros?
Probably a stupid question, but can you maybe bank protein or fat from one day to the next, considering how long it takes for digestion to take place?
