As of this morning I have reached my goal weight189.6 pounds as of today. 24.4 pounds in 11 weeks for a total of 45 pounds.
I have been low carbing for over 4 years and have finally reached my goal. I lost initially weight then nothing. For several years I was mostly content to maintain. I went back on induction several times with no additional weight loss. This year I tried again only with calorie restriction. 1500 calories or less gave me a 14 pound loss in about 8 weeks, then I stalled again. I went over 4 weeks with no weight loss. I found I was averaging 62% fat, 3% carbs, and 35% protein. Two weeks ago I boosted the fat to 70%, and reduced the protein to about 27% (100 gm a day). I have started loosing again even though my calories are now closer to 1700.
I think I can stand to lose a few more so I will go for another 5 pounds then reevaluate.

Awesome job, Stephen! Did you find that the lower calories were hard to handle, or did the ketosis take care of that? Either way:

I was not as bad as I thought it would be. I will need to keep an eye on total calories from now on once I figure out where my maintance point is.
