have YOU LOST WEIGHT with eating carbs still?

Sure did, as long as I kept carbs down to 40% of my daily calories (30% protein, 30% fat). I do better without them though.

yes, I MUST eat carbs to fuel my workouts! since switching to whole grain and other whole-food carbs (and almost eliminating all the white sugar, flour, potatos and rice) I don't have the hard sugar cravings like I did before. For me, more than just a little sugar throws me into a cycle of wanting more, eating more, which makes me want more...which is how I got to MFP! I aim for a split of 45% protein, 30% whole carbs including fruit, and 25% fats--I dont always make it but I work toward it every day.

I eat 'em every day, I've lost 50 pounds and am at my goal weight. The whole "No carb/Low carb" thing doesn't work for me (personally).

I wouldn't be able to keep it up if I eliminated carbs totally and I have lost a fair amount.

I eat carbs of all kinds, and I managed to lose over 130 pounds. I eat whole grains and healthier carbs. I also eat not-so-healthy carbs. Humans NEED carbs to function properly, anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

I've lost weight both ways, but am currently on a low carb diet. Not super low I think I have my carbs set at 30% or maybe 35%, but a very huge chunk of my daily calories come from proteins and fats. This is working for me now and when I stall out I'll switch it up.

.....yes

I lost my first 130 lbs not eating carbs that was over 6 to 7 months, when I started, I still managed to lose the last 60 lbs over the last 6 months eating carbs everyday. I would say it can be done eating carbs. Maybe cut the carbs you would usually eat in half and try to get them in before a workout. Experiment with them.

I've lived on carbs my whole life. A lot of the time I eat carbs in excess. I love bread, pasta, rice, potatotes, anything with carbs! There was a period of about two years where I was around 160lbs but that's the heaviest I've ever been. I think there's a lot of ill-feelings about carbs. They are essential for our body and if my body is anything to go by, they don't make people pile on the pounds. The thing you have to watch out for is saturated fat. That's bad. If a food product full of carb makes someone fat, then there's probably a lot of fat/sat fat hidden in that product as well.

Absolutely! In fact, the first 30ish lbs I lost were from simply cutting out sodas, watching portions a bit, and opting for whole wheat carbs. Wasn't working out or counting calories then. It definitely can be done. I have PCOS and carbs are supposed to be evil, but I still love whole wheat carbs and so far my body has been cooperating with that fact.
