Advice Needed - Do I need to change?
Hey, So I am afraid this is another plateau thread. Rest assured, I do know that weight loss is not linear and I am happy to keep going taking other wins during this plateau. However, I am little concerned that it is because I am doing something wrong and so I need to change it to get out of the plateau, rather than just…
