5 '2.5" and I have 26 lbs to go. It finally started coming off when I added low calorie to my low carb lifestyle. Losing around a lb per week, sometimes more. I am finally determined to take off this excess weight ONCE AND FOR ALL!

[ Actually yes, because maintenance is no different from losing - except you get a slightly higher calorie goal per day. I am only on a modest deficit so when I get to maintenance my diet will be the same as it is now except slightly larger portions. [/ Unless I'm being totally blind, I don't understand why that has…

I keep my carbs at 30 grams per day. The more carbs one eats the more they want. Carbs are a trigger food. The more protein and fat one eats the less hungry you are.

Abstainer here. I have no willpower. If I eat one cookie, in the next scene the box is gone. My husband and I ate 7 boxes of Girl Scout cookies in less than an hour. Our original plan was: Eat one or two cookies PER night. Keep them in the freezer. Yeah, sure! This saying for me about sums it up: One is too many, but…

yummy!

you must have lost it in all the right places, because you look transformed!

You should be sooooooo proud of yourself! You are looking fantastic! Wow! I am impressed and motivated!

Low carb (30 grams per day not counting the fiber) and 1200 calories per day.

I agree!

This is precisely the reason that I have gone low carb combined with low calorie (1200). It's working!

Thanks! It seems easy for me since I track on MFP. I now see that I was experiencing carb creep. By this, I mean, that my guesstimations were way off. I was eating enough carbs to maintain but not few enough to lose.

Week one. May 27th - June 3rd 2013. Starting weight -147.4 Current weight - 147.4 Goal weight-118

My name is Connie. I have 29 lbs to lose. Hopefully, I will not take the entire challenge to lose this weight.

yum must try soon!

Didn't realize how chubby I was getting until I had packed on about 40 extra pounds. Mostly due to married life and I like to cook and eat!

Looks delish!

Amen, Sister!:happy:

I totally agree! Basically, I gave them (flour and sugar) up in 1999.

5'2.5" here and my ultimate goal is 118.

I have been on a low carb/high protein diet since 1999! Also known as a ketogenic diet. I feel great and have energy to spare.

Hi All! New here. I am 5'2" and my current weight is 153. Am working toward a goal of 118. Got down to 120 in 1999 on Atkins and then carb creeped my way back up to current weight. I have a large frame for a petite person, though. So I could stop in the low 120's. Cheers!
