I'm feeling stuck (M/36/5'10”/238lbs)

I started my journey this time around last July. So far I've gone from 308 to 238. I've been using the poundaweek app and it's fantastic. While I don't lose every week, but having a week's worth of calories to spend so not a big deal if I go over, then each week the algorithm adjusts my calories after a weekly weigh-in. I feel better and fit into new clothes. People are starting to notice too.

Until February, my weight loss graph was a straight line down. Since then, every pound has been a fight. Pretty sure I lost more weight in my first week than I have in the past six.

I'm so hungry all the time. I ate dinner's leftovers last night instead packing them up because they kept calling to me. This morning I ate a piece of pizza from the fridge because I was so hungry I couldn't help myself.

I'm at 1700ish calories a day this week and I've had plenty of weeks so far where that was more than enough.

On top of it, this is a weight I've been at a couple times before. I lost a bunch of weight a decade ago and this was where I stalled out. I'm also three pounds from the weight I started college at. I've never been an adult lighter than I am right now, and damnit, I want to be.

So what do I do? How do I push past? It feels a little silly making this post seeing all the posts about wanting to start. Feels like I should be more grateful for my progress and proud of myself. I am, but I don't want to stop here. I'm still obese and want to be healthy.

Tl;dr I was fat, now I'm less fat, but struggling to keep going.
