Not at goal yet, but have lost over 12 inches off stomach. And over 3 pants sizes down (squeezing into size 16/18 yoga pants to pulling up, buttoning, and zipping size 12 jeans). In total shock! I never thought I'd be able to lose the weight that came with a disease I caught which caused a lot of weight gain. But in one and half month, I feel like I'm already closer to being able to recognize myself.

Calories between 1300-1650 daily, never hungry, lots of new found energy, light cardio, light strength training....(30-50 minutes 3-4 days a week).
I love keto. Was maintaining healthy weight for years until illness hit. Discovered during Passover (Spring Holiday--Week of Unleavened Bread) I am extremely carb sensitive. Cut my carb intake and am surprised how quickly my body is changing. I only count net carbs, so still eat plenty of veggies and fruits. Just cut out breads, potatoes, and rice and started using more olive oil in my cooking to make up the calories.

Awesome! You look fabulous!1

wtg, I think I am carb sensitive too because it has been much easier keeping the weight off.1

Thanks!!! I thought people were crazy when they would talk about being carb sensitive or even mention keto.
For years, I would roll my eyes and huff and think ...."OMG, it's ANOTHER fad diet, when will society learn?"
But here I am, live and learn, I guess. Since my holiday last spring, if I eat bread or potatoes...I am in pain and bloat up huge! Started in the second week of June after researching for a couple of months! Definitely a way of life for me!2 -
I was just throwing together a collage to post on the Face thread, but I feel more comfortable posting here instead.
I feel my face has definitely changed, not as drastically as
my body. But complexion and dark eye circles seem clearer to me.
I never intended to lose this quickly... My mindset was, it took two years to gain, it will probably take two years to lose. Be ready for patience, slow, and steady. But I'm not going to complain about my body's rate of losing this time around... It seems insane to me, and I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it!!!3 -
Definitely an inspiration to many! Keto looks good on you, and I can't wait to see how far you will go! Keep up the great work!1

Congratulations 😍😍
Would you plz share some details about your meals. I’m trying to do Keto for some time but it feels like a jigsaw puzzle to me. I keep messing up. Have few questions may be you can answer them.
If I stay under my carb allowance and cannot eat the given amount of fat and protein and feel satisfied/ not hungry........is it still Keto /will I see the weight loss I’m looking for.
How you pair up a meal from Keto approved foods any example.
I’m SAHM so I cook 7days a week at home /our food is mostly carb in the form of rice or flat bread/kind of tortilla but thicker and made of wheat flour so Keto is exceptionaly hard for me I keep missing the carbs /bad ones.
I’m 37 yo 186 5”1 look to lose 50lb at least.
Do you think you lost the weight because you kept your carb low alone or you made sure to take care of all three macros.
Sorry my English is not that good it not my first language.
