    Just started. And I actually went down in weight a little bit. But I don't know if it was just water weight but it does seem promising.

    I've been doing it and it's great! I was using another program before myfitnesspal and was losing up to 3 pounds on a good week. I wasn't even restricting my calories that much.

    Keep at it!

    Been doing low carb (very low carb) for about 6 weeks, I'm down 24lbs so far, although I'm off to weigh myself this lunch time.

    Also watching calories so it's not stuffing my face with protein and fat. I attribute the weight loss totally to the restriction in calories, the low carb part has helped me stick to it as I no longer get hungry.

    I still have 6 months or so before I get down to my target weight, although I suspect it will take another 3-4 before I'm down to what I really need to be.

    My diet used to be all carbs, I can't see myself going back to that.

    i deffo do the low carb thing! i eat 1200 cals and rarely eat, bread, pasta, rice or potatoes. It has helped maintain a flat stomach and stops the bloated feeling i get, i no longer feel sluggish..... i wouldnt look back :)

    I'm low carb too - don't get hungry, calorie deficit easy/easier and don't crave the stuff I love as much. Still want it, but don't 'need' it. I love it, but it's not for everyone. And if you're just starting, prepare for 'carb flu' (you can - I didn't - get headaches, etc, I did feel lethargic) but it passes.
