    March, 2012: started on a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) plus putting my body in Ketosis. I was netting 800-900 calories per day. In the first two weeks, I was down 16 pounds. Pretty sure it was eight pounds of water weight and the other eight was my brain slowly leaking out of my ears. I was miserable all. the. time. Freezing, cranky, hungry. I had been on low carb before, so I knew the "flu" signs, but this was much worse and I knew I wouldn't be able to sustain this (doctor supervised) program. I found MFP at the same time just to track my food intake.

    You look great and I loved reading your inspiring story...so glad you found MFP. I think the "doctors" that prescribe VLCDs should have their licenses revoked (after living on one for a while!).
    Best of luck to you.

    You are doing a great job! It must feel terrific. I love that you know it isn't a straight line, I just figured that out myself.

    I kept seeing TDEE everywhere, glad you posted that link. It's really eye opening. I've been focusing on staying around1200 calories a day and the weight just isn't budging, so I get frustrated and BAM...eat some garbage. Point taken! You look fantastic by the way, great job!

    Great job. It was nice to see the improvement in your blood tests as well. For me I want to loose weight so I can look better but ultimately it's to improve my numbers as well. Congratulations.

    great story, I enjoyed reading it. Good motivation for the day because I am joining a work out club this week! I was on fence but decided yesterday I need that along with better eating if I am going to succeed. Thanks for taking time to post.
