Willpower Collapse - HELP!
I've been doing pretty good for the last 3 weeks. Losing weight slowly but steadily. Today, I'm like a different person.

Scale won't budge...
I know I'm not the first person to be confounded by a needle that refuses to move, but I want to ask what people recommend to keep up momentum when you hit a wall. I was losing weight at a steady pace (down about 22 lbs since May) and suddenly I just can't drop another ounce. Some details on me: - Eating 1200-1400 calories…
