Hey, all. First time poster here.
I've (F30) been using the Myfitnesspal app to track my calories and progress for about two weeks. I was trying to lose weight before, but the app was just kind of something to make me take things a bit more seriously. Since I've started using it, my progress has been a LOT faster. I lost over 3kg in about a week and a half. I know we tend to lose more weight at the start of a diet, but I've been dieting since September, and only lost about 10kg before I started calorie counting. So 3kg all at once feels like kind of a lot so quickly?
For reference, I was 115.5kg when I started using the app. 112.2kg as of now. The app says to consume 1240 calories a day, but I'm usually done for the day before the 1000 calorie mark, sometimes before the 800. I'm eating a lot of porriage, fruit, vegetables, with either a chicken or fish for dinner. Avoiding bread and any kind of cheese. I don't feel any different, but I've had some skin breakouts, I'm not sure if it's related.
Are there any drawbacks to losing weight this fast going forward? Or to keeping my calorie intake so low? I'm a student artist, and don't have a very high-activity lifestyle, so I'm not sure I need a particularly high amount of calories to live comfortably. But if this is going to leave me with a lot of lose skin, skin/hair/teeth problems or anything like that, I'd like to know so I can adjust and go a little slower. That said, if this pace is fine, I'm happy to stick to it. Any advice or links would be appreciated - I've found a lot of conflicting information in my own search and I'm not sure what's most accurate at this point.
