Congrats !

I’ve dropped 5 pounds in 2 months.

at 159 now. I lost 3 pounds in 3 months and now I’m really, really trying to get over that last hump.

I worry that your weight loss may be the same - most people are. They lose the first bits pretty well but that last hurdle takes something more. Plan accordingly.

I’m hypoglycemic too. I learned a lunch that works for me to keep protein levels up. For breakfast I do the same thing everyday: Carnation instant breakfast and 5 tsp of egg whites (From walmart, it’s actually cheaper than eggs!) then my coffee. Workout is 20 minutes of weights, then 20 minutes of running (Sometimes I mix it up if I need to get cardio before or after. I try to approach weight lifts with 100BPM or higher. I make my max BPM 160ish)

I also learned a neato way to get a little more out of my exercise (What brought me down 5 more pounds). My physical therapist recommends 2 minutes of stretch on EACH muscle That adds about 30 minutes everyday to my already hour-long workout. Lucky that I retired.

For lunch I make tortilla wraps with lettuce, tomato and maybe some peppers. I discovered this from a mistake. I heard about “Lettuce wraps” and I totally got it wrong !

Either way my sugar levels stay good after just that. So I take in about 500 calories before dinner now, down from 1500 cals. Dinner maxes out at 1000 calories.

Guys who are losing extreme amounts of weight, such as you are, are recommending 1200 calories PER DAY. My god, I would pass out.
