Any success stories to share? I'm looking for motivation.

I love the Diet Doctor LCHF Success Stories: http://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/success-stories

For myself, my successes are numerous and I'm not even close to my goal weight. As of yesterday I've lost 30 pounds since the end of February (and there was a LOT of trial and error in there... I just can't handle any artificial sweeteners and cheat meals set me back for an entire week!)
Since the end of February...
- My blood pressure has gone from pre-hypertension to the normal range
- My thyroid medication had to be reduced
- I'm now sleeping through the entire night when I used to wake up way early every night
- I'm down a couple of sizes of jeans and one shirt size
- I am starting to fit more comfortably into theater seats
- I don't have cravings anymore
- My acne is gone
- I am full of energy now. After 8-10 hours at work each day, I come home with the energy to make dinner from scratch each night, plus pack lunches for the next day. This way of eating has been a miracle for me and my family.

There are a few great threads here with success stories - I am trying to find some and bump for you. Low carb has improved the lives & health of so many people here! They are amazing.

TONS of success pics on Reddit under /r/keto (which is a very low carb diet). Set it to Top Posts of all time and you can see a lot.

I tagged you in the ones I bumped - check your little bell thing at the top of the page. Also, success stories were just added to the Launch Pad.
