Your graph there shows that you ventured slightly into the underweight category last time you lost weight. Your language here is quite self deprecating despite your weight not being out of control high. Just some alarms going off telling me to tell you to be safe, love yourself. If you have had a tense relationship with food in the past, I recommend losing this time with a doctor’s supervision. 9 pounds in two months at your weight is implies around 2 pounds a week which would be higher than the recommended 1% of your body weight per week. You are clearly dedicated, and are making very fast and consistent progress, so be proud! Just be safe! Wishing you all the best.
Aside from that! 9 pounds over 2 months
Yeah, I overshot my goal weight back then without even meaning to. Though I liked what I saw in the mirror (visible abs!), being underweight sucked, I was cold all the time, and had so little fat on my ass it was uncomfortable to sit on an unpadded chair. Not gonna let that happen again.
I don't think it's too crazy of a rate of weight loss, I started after getting back from vacation in the beginning of June. My sedentary TDEE is about 1600, and I aim for a deficit of about 400 day, either through eating less or moving more, which turns into about 3/4ths a pound a week.
