Made it into the 180s. It's finally working.
This is a huge deal for me, because it's the first time in my adult life I've been in the 180s, aside from one attempt with prescription diet pills back in the 90s. Even though I've known about lowcarb for a long time, I was never able to make it work for me--I just didn't get the same results other people did, even when doing everything right, and I never stopped being hungry. Adding IF into the mix finally got my appetite under control. I think reading Good Calories, Bad Calories has really made a difference in my approach this time too.
I've lost a little over 25lbs since February, and I still have over halfway to go. But I've made so many attempts in the past and was never able to lose more than a few pounds--over several months. 25lbs is a huge deal for me, and getting into the 180s is something I've *never* been able to do on my own till now. I couldn't have done it without this forum, Gary Taubes, and IF.
