So, question...What is everyone's daily base calorie intake now that you have hit peri-menopause/menopause? I read everywhere we should not go below 1200 calories, but my weight loss is stuck unless I am at 1000 to 1100 (without factoring in eating back some calories from exercise).

Taking a tsp of organic apple cider vinegar and orange juice before eating in the morning. Also, and this one helps me to stop "picking" at my food at a restaurant, pour water or salt or anything unappetizing over the food left on your plate so you will be forced to stop eating.
