One month on MFP and today I am 259. I started at 269, and know this is a small loss of weight, but really motivating to see the scale move. I re weighed 3 times this morning because I could not believe it!! So I think 10 pounds a month is superb!! The amazing thing is at 1760 calories per day, it is not even difficult to stay below that level and I eat good!!

The more you weigh the more food you need to maintain that weight. Of course if the OP is a male and you're not that's a difference too.
Depending on the OP's final goal this might need adjusted eventually. I suspect they can drop down to around 200 lbs on this amount of calories. The loss will slow as they approach the final weight of course.0 -
The first month is always great weight loss wise if you stick to your calorie goal. The challenge comes when you think you have had a good week, but the scales don't move! If this happens then try again and keep going. In 4 months i have had this happen twice where i have felt really demotivated from no weight loss and both tomes the week after i lost 2 pounds.
Keep going, allow yourself cheat days and give in to a mouthful of chocolate once in a while if it helps to satisfy that craving. I lost 35 pounds over 3.5 months and every week without fail i had a takeaway and pudding on a saturday night and a mac donalds one day aswell, although my job requires me to walk around for 3 hours a day so it's probably easier for me!
Also, recalculate your TDEE every time you lose a couple of pounds. You start to need cutting the calories here and there! Haha, i went from semi skimmed milk to skimmed and from butter to light butter haha.1 -
