Hi Tracy,

If you are losing 2 Kgs a month, consistently, you are doing a fabulous job. Keep it up and keep it going.

There is no point losing fast and gaining back equally fast. If you can sustain 2 Kgs a month, then by year end you could be down by 24 kgs. Which could be a tremendous achievement.

Don't get carried away / compare with people who claim 4-8 Kgs per month. That is not sustainable or it could be due to crash diets, which is avoidable.

Anyways if you want to monitor your weight, you can use Myfitnesspal App. It can give you a fairly active picture of your journey.

Just continue and don't give up. You are doing well.

Take a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate.
