    I think you have done great, and I understand your worries. Everyone knows the last 10-15lbs are the hardest and take the longest. I would keep on doing what works for you, I absolutely would not up my calories in the least. When I hit that wall I decreased my calories even further, it got me out of the slump and I started losing again.

    Oh. And your body doesn't need a "diet break". Your body is a super sophisticated bean counter and it knows what to do with a calorie deficit - it dips into its fat stores for energy.

    Diet breaks are a scientifically proven thing. But you do you.

    I had changed my calorie goal to 1650 but that only lasted like 20 min before i felt very uncomfortable and changed it back to 1460. Its been 11 months of about the same calorie goal.. i didn't even eat any higher then this when i was heavier... Lol.. sigh.. only i could lose almost 100lbs and then screw myself up mentally instead haha.. good lord im so broken.

    You should seek therapy, no shame in it. hugs

    Agreed you need to seek help. You've done great but what happens when you keep losing beyond maintenance? I think you need help of some sort, whether that's therapy or online CBT or similar. As you say it would be incredibly sad to go to the opposite end of the healthy weight spectrum.

    From what I've read, you don't need any advice...you're doing everything right and still losing weight. Estimates are just that, estimates. It's never going to be 100% perfect. 4lbs in a month is a good loss, keep it up.
