Down 12 lbs since the summer [View all]

I started seriously doing a very low carb, ketogenic diet in Mid July. I have about 42 more lbs to go and it's working very well. I had gotten very heavy, putting a lot of weight on my 5 ft frame. Now in my early 50s, it's harder to lose weight! But the scale is steadily going down. I may have figured out what works for me.
