eating for the future you
Wondering who has done this...as in..upping cals to the what your maintenance cals will be at your goal weight. I am staying in a 3-5lbs window of getting to my goal weight of 127. I struggle really hard on the weekends....and Im thinking I end up bingeing because I stay at my 1200-1250 cal window M-F. Thoughts?

Do things slow down when you're at the last 20-25lbs?
So far..since July I have lost 49lbs as of today. At a rate of about 10lbs a month. I have 21-23lbs to go to my goal...then maybe another 9lbs from there...but Im wondering if that last 20ish lbs is the hardest and slowest to lose? I'm not in a hurry (well...March 17th is my ideal timeline for my half marathon).
