First huge milestone.

[SV] this is my first time posting on here.

I’m currently 17 years old. I started my journey a week before my 17th birthday, on April 29th, 2020. I was sick of looking in the mirror, hating what I saw... not being able to wear the clothes I wanted because I am “too fat to wear that”. Seeing all my friends and peers on Instagram in bikinis and loving themselves, while I barely ever post except for holidays and birthdays. so that following Monday, I started. I found out I loved walking on the treadmill and I actually enjoyed knowing what I’m eating and found a love for cooking (even if I’m not that good at it). Now, a little less than a month later. I finally hit exactly 10 pounds down. But this wasn’t without struggles. [TW?] I wasn’t losing a lot because I started undereating... limiting to 1,000-1,200 calories a day or less, along with fasted cardio/normal cardio and HIIT. I wasn’t losing as fast because my body was clinging to those calories, so about a week or so ago, I calculated my target caloric intake and went from there, which finally brought me to my 10 pounds down. I don’t notice a difference in myself, but others have.. I have about 80-90 lbs more to go, but I’m so happy to be doing it. If anyone has any tips, please give me them down below.
