    Week 13 - 810 week - my CDC says 'don't bother'.

    I do as u well know lol I can't get into my brain that if I eat more calories I'll lose less weight. But for some reason ur body doesn't even register the extra meal and puts it straight in your furnace(metabolism) and u lose more weight lol
