Has anyone had success with losing a lot of weight and keeping it off with Low Carb Dieting? I started a low carb lifestyle 7 weeks ago and so far, have lost 22 lbs. Just wondering if I will continue to lose, and how much weight I can lose, if I continue. My goal was to lose around 100 lbs. Thank you in advance!

    I lost 50+ pounds (70 from my heaviest, but a little over 50 on low-carb), and have kept it off continuing to eat low carb. My profile picture is what I look like now.

    Here is what I used to look like.

    LOL, when you eat as much meat as I do, you end up buying it in chunks like that to cut down on costs. I think that one was 24-26 pounds (11-12 kg).

    I've lost 32 lbs with this WOE. I don't want to go back to any other lifestyle. I have a ways to go but this works for me and is easy to stick with compared to CICO which was pure hell.

    I've been low carb for a while now, I don't actually know how long. Most of it under 20g carbs. Since Jan 4th I have lost 30kg which is about 66lbs I think.

    Dieting is never super simple and easy (for me anyway, I have binge eating disorder) but this has been thr best thing I ever did for myself. I plan to remain low carb for the rest of my life.

    Thank you all for the input! Your success is an inspiration! This is the first time in YEARS that I have been able to lose weight. I honestly did not think I could do low carb, because that's my weakness and my favorite type of food! But since I started, it has been so easy and I have not craved carbs at all! I know I can live this way for awhile, but didn't know if I would continue to lose weight or how long it would take to lose about 100 lbs.

    And another thing.... I have been tired alot lately. I don't know if it is due to a low carb diet or my new job!
