Me to lol. Keep it up looking good.
Why you look great and are really strong
Your progress is fantastic and I used your "weight not moving much but look way better" progress the other day to explain to a client it is not all about weight loss.

thanks. not sure how i feel about being the poster lady for obesity and weight loss failure haha jks.
if the last two weeks have been anything to go by, i need to walk 5km a day (4 days a week, on non training days) to move from just changing shape to changing shape and losing weight. so, good to know the threshold. devo to know how much i have to do haha.

if your waist measurements are still falling then don't worry too much. When that stops then things need changing. Also look at increasing energy expenditure by 200-300 calories a day over dropping food if you find you feel that dropping calories will starve you.
Also you may be undereating for your weight and you may need a little break at maintenance levels for a couple of weeks to get your hormones back to normal

I think you are very brave, in fact all the girls on here are for putting their bodies out there. I think I'm the only woman who hasn't put any pics up -far too self concious, so I admire you guys.
You are doing really well and looking hot in that dress pic lady! Just keep at it, this isn't an overnight thing, it can be a really hard slog and takes time, effort and mental strength.

According to Max Brenners basic formulary you should be eating 2400 - 2700 calories a day to meet your requirements, I am no expert so may be speak to Max about it of you are having concerns about it.

this is my nightmare and why i am so flipping confused. im paying more attention to lowering carbs right now than anything else, and getting my protein in.
cycling foods and leangains fasting is helpful, and i now have much better eating habbits (time of day, quantity, quality) but the conflict between eat less cals lose weight versus eat big is tearing me apart. not really, it just bugs me.

I don't think 2400 is for you but I would have tried you at 2000. I think you may have ate at too low too long. It sounds like you are dropping fat though so that is great. I think you put on muscle easily for a woman.
