Weight is coming off at a slow rate now. Hope it is a temporary setback. I've found in the past that you hit a wall at some point that takes awhile to break through. I need to stay the course and wait it out.

I agree that 600 calories is really, really low, especially over a longer period of time. Since you are the cook, is everyone else eating what you are?? I would find it very difficult to cook things for others when I can't eat them myself. That being said, your weight loss is impressive.

And, I'm pretty sure that 600 calories per day would not be sustainable for the long term.
That said, I wish all of you luck in losing the weight that you want to lose, and keeping it off, too.

I'm sorry to be a "Debbie Downer" or "Party Pooper," but unless a program or routine is sustainable for the long term, I don't think it is really working. Yes, of course, one can definitely lose weight on 600 calories per day, but to me the idea is to lose the weight and keep it off permanently.
And, I'm pretty sure that 600 calories per day would not be sustainable for the long term.

I hope that you saw that I edited my original post to say, "That said, I wish all of you luck in losing the weight that you want to lose, and keeping it off, too."
That is probably true that "weight loss programs" are not sustainable.
However, since about Feb 1, 2017, I have lost over 35 pounds and I have kept it off.
I was not, and I am not, doing a "weight loss program." I have made a permanent lifestyle change.
My "goal" was never to achieve a certain weight. My "goal" is to keep my AIC number in check, and to do so, my "program" must be life-long.
Losing weight just happened apparently because I was watching the timing of eating carbohydrates and how many carbohydrates I ate per meal or snack, and I guess as a result, I must have also lowered my calories per day.
