Share your personal stats!

I have only been on the low carb journey for about two weeks and I have lost 8lbs. I have been watching what I have been eating since January, so I did lose some weight just using this wonderful app. I just wanted to know what everyone's stats were and how this lifestyle change is helping. Thanks!

Starting weight:200.4
Current weight:177.9
Goal weight:150

I will say that since I have gone low carb, I really don't crave the sweets or pasta that I used to call "staples" in my house. I have kids so it is very hard to keep all clean foods in the house, but I definitely don't crave the carb heavy foods like I used to. I never thought that would happen for me, it's quite shocking actually! This group has really changed my outlook on eating, and I want to thank you all for that!

    Started about 202lbs
    Current 195
    Goal 135

    Same with me in that I have kids and a carb lovin hubby, and I don't seem to be craving the junk anymore either. My downfall is drinking though...even cut out the wine, but even hard stuff with water seems to be stalling. Next thing to cut out I guess.

    Oh I can definitely relate. I have stopped my drinking except for the weekends. I can't give that up yet. However I drink beer which is bad. Mic ultra has low carbs, but I know it still isn't good for weight loss. :(

    I am in the same boat...red wine and Saturday nights go hand in hand! I will try to be good....but......

    Starting : 168
    Current : 156
    Goal : 145(for now...lower once I get there!)

    I am amazed that I have no cravings...no urge to snack after the kids go to bed, I feel so in control and it feels great! I make bread at home for my family and even that fresh bread smell doesn't break me!! : )

    It really hasn't been that hard. I still do have drinks about twice a month, and a really good dessert (or part of one) about once a month. Other than that, I just skip whatever starch I make with the family dinner. And do salads with protein for lunch.
    I'm a teacher, though, and I worry about summer. It seems so much easier at work than it does at home. On the other hand, I should have more time for movement, so that's a plus. Onward and downward!!!

    How long have you been eating LC? I ask because we have similar starting and goal weights.

    38 year old female (39 in about a month). 5'4" height.

    Heaviest Weight: 319

    Starting LCHF Weight: 262
    Current Weight: 240-244 depending on day

    Goal Weight: TBD - I have no point of reference on this weight as an adult so likely somewhere between 150-175, depending on muscles and all that...right now, my main subgoals are:

    Subgoal 1: Drop out of Morbid Obesity category (220 pounds, I think)
    Subgoal 2: Get under 200
    Subgoal 3: Get out of the PLUS SIZE shopping areas
    Subgoal 4: Get to 175 and evaluate long term goals

    I originally started back in 2007 on South Beach then went to Atkins and lost 65 lbs. I have fallen off the wagon a few times. My biggest influence was when I was dating and I fell back into the habit of eating carbs. I've been trying to get to my goal weight for what seems like forever. For the most part I hovered around 185, but last year I did get back up to 200 but then got back down to 175. This time around I have a much clearer head and don't let food control me now. Nor am I going to let other people's influence effect what I know is best for me.

    Most recently I was 187 when I started a little under two months ago. For a few weeks I was losing and gaining the same weight because I wasn't eating enough, and I've been losing better since tracking my food and being more active.

    Started Keto end of August 2014.
    Started tracking 1/1/15

    Starting weight: 164 lbs
    Current weight: 160 lbs
    Goal weight: 130-140 lbs

    This process has been wicked slow for me. I have quite a bit of muscle and workout (mostly lifting) 3-6 days a week. I'm ok with the slow process because of this. I have found that CarbNight/CKD has helped me get the scale moving a little bit quicker (so far). However, what this process has taught me is to be patient, and to switch things up. Staying consistent is what will win in the end!

    Began lc in January weight 231
    Began LCHF in March
    Went ZC in May and current weight 204

    My greatest accomplishment with this woe has been the drastic decrease in Fibromyalgia pain and increase in energy! Carbs are poison for me! I was able to see this within two weeks of lc and was even better the more I lowered my carbs. This is what my body has been screaming at me about for years! Just wish I'd have listened, and interpreted the message sooner!

    Your success is awesome! I wish everyone who can benefit from this WoE could learn about it and try it! And you know I'm speaking personally and generally here!

    My start weight was 115kg on Jan 4th
    Today I weigh 84.85kg (up 200g from my lowest of 84.65kg). In pounds I think I went from 253.5 to 187.

    I'd be happy to be lighter than my husband by the end of this year. He is between 72 and 75kg depending on his weight training. Ultimately? I have no idea now. My goal was 52kg but I dunno...I might prefer a higher weight. I am very short but I want to have some plumpness as I feel I would be happier. I also want to work on adding muscle for a few years rather than focus on a particular scale number.

    I didn't do it all on a very low carb diet but I was under 70g of carbs per day unknowingly for many weeks before I discovered this WOE.

    Started 3 months ago (near the end of February) at 236 pounds. I started out with a 40g net carb goal and have since decreased it.

    Current weight: 209 this morning (although my lowest was 206.4 earlier this week)
    Goal weight: Initially ONEderland (i.e., out of the 200s)
    Long-term goal weight: Probably around 165--I'm not decided. I'll know when I get there :smile:

    Mostly I'm excited I don't crave all that carby stuff I thought I couldn't live without and I can lose weight without being hungry. I no longer have acid reflux. My skin looks clearer and smoother. I have more energy and don't get "hangry" anymore. My weight loss seems to be quite a bit slower than many people here, but I'm seeing progress and feeling fantastic, so I keep on!

    Not low carb by your standards, but much lower than the SAD folks. I tend to focus on slower carbs, and eliminating the carbage (eating only high quality carbs).
    but here goes:

    female, 50 years old (in menopause)
    5'6.5"
    I'm at maintenance 132-137ish
    Much happier at the lower end of that scale!

    starting weight in 2001 or 2002 was around 160. Hit my goal in march of that year and been maintaining with mostly success since.

    I just started the keto diet because of inflammation. My family and I were in a car accident and pretty messed up. The doctors said for me to go keto to reduce the carbs that can cause the inflammation and the fluid between the joints that cause a lot of the pain. So people who have decreased fibromyalgia pain and arthritic pain can relate this to lower carbs that do not "ignite the fire" of inflammation.

    Low carb 2 months (50g ish daily) - tried lower but like vegetables too much. If I stop losing I may decide to go lower but this works for me at the moment.
