Sounds as if you've shown amazing self-discipline that you should be congratulated on but somehow doubt it's best for your health - which is really the whole point of the exercise.

I weighed 231 lb 3 months ago, I'm 6'2", and initially cut back so I was losing 5 lb week during the first couple of weeks. When I looked around for good advice I saw the BHF organisation heavily emphasised the importance of maintaining a good level of nutrition while cutting calories. Also important to find a pattern that's sustainable long-term.

I've now eased right back to aiming to lose around 1 to 2 lb a week and find that's so easy. Haven't a clue how many calories I'm getting, never even tried to count them, I was obviously eating to many before. We've always eaten good food anyway, now I'm just eating less. Mostly, I'm just avoiding the things that are packed with calories rather than nutrients and don't miss them at all.

Can eat out and drink with friends occasionally, still eat the same as them rather then rabbit food, and can't see any reason not to keep to a similar pattern long-term. Tend to think that's more important than a quick fix. So it may make sense to lose weight but not in a way that might risk your health to do it.
