Keto Carbs

Hi there!
I have recently started Keto - my start weight was at 213.1 and instantly lost 8 lbs of bloat (within the first 2 days) and the scale hasn't budged at all. I am eating around 1500 calories a day, tracking everything, and am just wondering if I have my macros calculated wrong? I am at 10% carbs, 60% fat, and 30% protein. Obviously everyone's macros are different. I am just curious if people on Keto count net carbs or total carbs? HELP!
Also note, I have Keto Sticks to see if I am in ketosis and I am every single time I check!

All weight loss comes about thru calorie deficit. Low carb is great for an initial "whoosh" of water weight (actually glycogen stores). But FAT loss takes time, and macros don't change that, calories do.
I don't low carb......but there are groups here to help you: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group2
