Unless you have a medical condition, restricting carbs is not required for weight loss. Eating fewer calories than you burn is all that is required.

OP has lost 120 lbs and been on MFP for 4 years.

Her profile indicates she weighed 235 pounds in January. . . .of 2011. OP it seems your numbers are somewhat distorted. I would suggest getting a better understanding of your caloric needs. Leave the HR at home unless you are doing steady state cardio, eat at a reasonable deficit and be patient. Starting at 350 pounds and weighing whatever you currently weigh is great progress. Best of luck.

My low carb experience was to eat around 1400 +/- 200 and take any extra deficit from exercise as a bonus if and when it happened.

Your net intake might be closer to maintenance than you think on some days. Good luck.

Thank you for the insight
