It's been a very long time since I last posted on this forum. Truth is I didn't need to use this site after I had learnt a few things about the things I had to unlearn ...if that makes sense.

How long should we wait?
I've thought about this for a while now, and I've noticed people on here are having problems with weight loss stalling.
