I’ve lost 30+ pounds

Hello guys. I have posted maybe about a month ago, that I was starting my weight loss journey. In one month alone I have lost 30 pounds. I was very surprised when my scale came in. I honestly don’t know how I’ve lost so much weight so fast. I was assuming the first 2 weeks i lost alot because my face looked noticeably smaller, then my scale came in and I weighed and I was very surprised that I had lost 20 pounds. In 2 weeks I’ve lost another 15 pounds or so. I weigh 388 as of this morning. My starting weight was 425 pounds, I knew my weight as I got weighed at the hospital a week or 2 before I started eating better. I’m not in a extreme defecit. My maintenance is around 3800 and I consume around 2000-2500 calories per day. I’ve been working out, walking, lifting weights at home, and following along to exercise videos. As of now the weight isn’t just falling off like it was, it’s slower now, about 5 pounds a week or so. It’s a bit discouraging, idk what I expected. I was hoping to continually lose weight at a rapid pace, but I know it’s not healthy. I’m very happy, and proud that I haven’t had any sweets or full sugar soda, and that I have been sticking to my diet and making more healthy food choices. I have become obsessed this past month with counting calories and eating healthy. My head feels better, more clear. My body is less sore.

Please any thoughts and opinions? I’m just very proud of myself, and wanted to share. I just couldn’t believe the scale when I ordered it.

Hello I am male 25 years old, 6,3 and around 420lbs. I am very ashamed to admit it, I wish I didn’t let my self go so much.

I am so tired of being the fat guy, I am so tired of my self esteem issues, I am tired of being worn out from just simply being over weight. I shouldn’t be scared about dying early from my weight. I want to run around and play with my daughter, I want to be able to love myself. I am slowly starting to. I quit drinking soda a week ago, and only drink water and unsweetened tea. I have also started eating less, maybe not better but less, way less. I have been eating around 1500-2k calories a day. Instead of eating 3-4-5 times a day I am trying to eat just dinner maybe lunch and 1 snack a day. I have been feeling well this past week, if not better than before. My face is less swollen, I imagine because I’m not drinking 3 sodas a day anymore and Any little Debby snack I can get my hands on. I guess I just want some advice and encouragement. I so badly want this, and am ready to make a permanent lifestyle change. So please give me feedback, let me know how the journey has been for you. Just anything, thank you. Please no judgment
