Plateauing---A Heads Up
What causes a plateau? I haven't hit one yet, but I'm pretty sure that I will if I keep on losing weight at the rate I'm losing it. I try to eat my calories, but I'm doing quite well to hit 1200 (due to financial constraints as well as general lack of appetite), let alone eating my exercise calories. So I need advice. How…

Should we do something?
I was contemplating something last night that I thought I would share. I've struggled with my weight my whole life. When I got married in 07, I was the smallest I had ever been.
