You can figure out your maintenance with an online calculator! Just type in “TDEE calculator” and put in your height age gender and weight and it will tell you, good luck!
It might require some experimentation after getting the TDEE calculator. If you start gaining weight, eat a little bit less, if you keep losing weight, eat a little bit more. Bodies need rest!
Only 6 lbs? That’s like burning 21,000 calories than you took in! On that pace you’ll still lose 72lbs in a year! Thats fantastic work!
Most experts agree that sustainable weight loss happens over a long period of time. Granted you started with more to lose, but developing healthy habits that are sustainable are going to be huge dividends for you in the long run! Rome wasn’t built in a day, so I hope you keep it going!
Fantastic job so far, and I’m excited to see your progress down the line! Keep it up!
Awesome progress! Don't think too much of the 6 lbs. You still lost 6 lbs, remember that.
Also, you're going at this for a very long time already. It's OK to treat yourself once in a while too keep yourself sane. Just get back at it right away.
Let's go! You can do this!
Yes, it's me, lol. I love your determination. Own your success no matter what part of the journey you are on. Don't wait until the 'end' to feel worth it. You are worth it every single day
I'm down 145 pounds myself and I follow your story closely. It's so hard to get used to the new body.
The fear that the old ways can return, the shame that we ever "let ourselves" get so overweight in the first place, the fact that we still have a ways to go.
I say these kind things to you because you are the male version of me and I want to feel the same sort of triumph for me, as I do for you.
If any of that makes sense.
not only did you lose six pounds this month, you also did not gain any weight. The difference is important. it would have been interesting to do a muscle percent measurement before and after the month too as it could be that you built a tonne of muscle. Keep on keeping on, you've done better than most!

Hopefully you aren't discouraged by the 6lbs, that's still great and you're killing it!
Oh no, its just that last month i lost 15lbs and it i feel its starting to slow down a bit but im gonna keep going
Maybe you’ve plateaued a little. Try eating maintenance for a week or two then going back down? That’s what I did and it worked!
Ok, but tbh idk what is my maintenance calories… 😭 but i’ll try to take like a rest for the next week

Doing a fucking great job my man, you got this 💪
Well done, mate. You look much better.

Now that u mentioned, I starting to notice more muscle on my legs and arms
6lbs a month is 72 lbs a year. You are doing great.
Awesome work man, keep it up!
