Do I have this right?
Okay I've been on this site for 3 months. I've lost 9 pounds, which is good but in three months I should have reached my goal of 25 pounds right? I have my goals set to 1,200 calories a day, but I've been reading that your calorie intake shouldn't go below your BMR (or RMR) which for me is 1386. So this is saying that I…

Reward yourself
