    Lost 67 pounds and about 15% body fat, my carbs are anywhere from 25-50% of my intake per day (almost always over 150g/day at minimum). I eat rice several times a week, bread every day, ice cream almost every night and still occasionally indulge in pizza, Mexican food, pie/cake, chocolate, etc.

    Carbs (or lack thereof) don't drive weight loss - calories do. You can lose weight on any diet that results in a consistent calorie deficit (eating less calories than you expend).

    I lost my baby weight by eating lots of carbs. I didn't have a whole lot to lose, but the point is I got to goal by not cutting out or severely restricting certain macros.

    Absolutely, at the end of the day, losing weight means you're expending more calories than you're taking in. However, it is important to keep your macro nutrient ratios in mind. My advice is to be sure you're getting in enough protein first, then allow yourself to have carbs!

    It seems like I always go over my carbs, but still under calorie limit, and I'm down about 13 pounds so far.

    Well, you have to restrict something to get into a deficit. Carbs are the first thing I lower. I don't go super low or "cut them out" though.

    Lost around 40 kgs with carbs being around 45% of my diet. No reason to drastically reduce carbs unless there is a medical reason to do so, or you find protein/fat to be more filling which keeps your calorie intake under control. LCHF has been shown to have the same weight loss over time as a diet lower in fats and higher in carbs by a number of studies. It is a tool for losing weight but not a magic solution or better overall than other tools.
