Next - Month 13, 84 lbs

LowCarbAmanda · October 2011

Another month down - the lucky thirteenth! It wasn't a HUGE loss this month, but every bit counts.

I started September 1, 2010 at 260 lbs, in size 24 pants, and 2 - 3XL shirts. Now I'm 176 lbs, in size 14 pants (with a belt), and size M - L shirts. I'm 5'6", and 31 years old.

1 year ago started a low carb ketogenic diet to control my epilepsy. At that point I had high cholesterol and a fatty liver as well. Now my cholesterol and liver are perfect, and I no longer take anti-seizure medication.

I eat 20 - 35 net carbs (total carbs - fibre - sugar alcohols) per day. I don't have my diary open, as I now use it more for looking up the carb count of foods I'm uncertain of. I don't add a food if I know it doesn't have carbs, regardless of the calories (I can have 1200 or 2400 calories and still lose weight, as long as I don't go above my net carbohydrates). I'm happy to add anyone, or to answer any questions anyone has though.

Thanks for looking!
