Wasn't losing, but now I think I know why!

I only started tracking mid-Feb after years of low carbing @100 carbs, then six months at @50, and another @25 carbs. Slllloooooowwwww losses. Started researching again to find out why not even 20-25 was working, and stumbled upon ketogenic, which wasn't a 'thing' when I started low carbing about 15 years ago.

I'm finally making some good headway, but tracking has become vital. I found I had been eating under 1000 cals, and most of that protein. Now I'm in good macro zone, and I'm thrilled that I'm finally losing. If I hadn't started tracking, I would have just kept plodding along and hoping someday I'd make goal, or ended up giving up in another year.

I am thinking about making up some fat bombs, because I'm still fighting the 1000 cal habits, and I need to take in more calories and fat on a regular basis. Once I figure out how to intake about 1400-1500 cals a day, I'll be a happy girl.
