That's awesome man or gal! I have also ridden the weight loss train after letting myself go over COVID. It's hard, it takes discipline and sacrifice and you should feel great about yourself! Some friendly advice, don't panic if/when you have the inevitable upswing. I feel like not enough people talk about how once you hit your goal and start level off/maintain, your body will take awhile to find it's level after being in a deficit mode for so long. Your weight will be ALL OVER THE PLACE for awhile, and then you'll probably find that your level off will be about 2-5 pounds above the goal weight, really depends on your body type, exercise type/level! In my case my body decided 195 is where it can hover happily, but my goal of 185 was unsustainable. I've been 195 for 10ish months and I look and feel better than I did at 185 - more muscle, more energy, less skinny more in shape. So upswing/rebound can be good, and may help you fill out that newly slimmed down frame in a much more attractive way than before!

The second thing is, ten pounds in a month is a LOT. So great job, but be really careful with your dieting when you're dropping that fast. That's 1/3 of your weight loss in one month, or fifty percent more weight than you'd lost in the 9 months prior!
