    Congrats.

    Don't get used to that much food though, I have a feeling you are going to drop a lot of weight and won't get to eat that high level for too long.
    Enjoy those treats now.

    Ummm, carrots and broccoli!

    No starving and no binging....HUGE!!!! Congrats! Keep working it and don't worry about how long you'll be eating at this level. When progress slows or stalls, you'll make the necessary adjustments which need not be drastic. Nice work lady!!

    ^^^ This ^^^ Obviously, when there is less of *you*, your caloric requirements will decrease, but we all need to adjust as we (and our lives) change. You are doing awesome!

    Bump. Wondering how long this lasted for the OP, or if she is still able to lose at this calorie amount now, a couple months later.

    That's awesome! Your post makes me hopeful that once I figure this out, I'll have good results too.

    Her diary says new goal is 2000.

    Since about 10 lb drop in weight gives TDEE about 75 cal lower, she either dropped way more than 10 lbs (unlikely in 2 months), or has adjusted for change in amount of exercise more likely.
