Need some advice about the final phase of weight loss re: not knowing goal weight
I would be curious how others that were not sure what their goal weights would be approached this situation. How did you deal with diet/deficit breaks? What was your final criteria? Was it appearance, a number, the final pound(s) effort to lose exceeded the desire, some combination, or something else? Depending on which…
