23 in 3 months is great progress, keep it up!

I started my cut this year over 300 and have averaged 10 lbs/month, but I'm eating far less calories. You have enough body fat that you could manage a...

I'm worried about loose skin, but I've decided there's really not much I can do so I'll just keep cutting.
Highest was 325, have dropped 60 lbs in the last 6 months (305 to 242) and I definitely...

I hear you on buying more clothing. I'm holding out as long as I can because I know if I buy something now it will be too big in 2-3 months. Might as well just wear the baggy stuff for that long.

I cook a pound of ground turkey a couple times a week with "taco seasoning". Reheat some of that with eggs and a little cheese = low carb breakfast of champions.

My experience is the brain fog only lasts half a day or so. Push through and then you can maintain lower carb intake.

Mostly water at this point. I can usually gain 5-10 lbs of water back in two days when I go from strong ketosis to a carb loading weekend.

Those large swings are normal depending on your carb...

I'd say it depends a lot on your total % change in weight. Bigger people will have to lose more to be noticed. Plus, if you're wearing the same clothes you can hide the changes.

This year no one...

4 days of the scale not changing...

Drank some whiskey last night...

2 lbs down today! Finally saw 249, finally in the lower half of the 200s for the first time in ~7 years.

Even had a...

Yesterday I didn't have much time to make full meals. Two protein shakes plus reheating some turkey burgers got my protein numbers in line, but zero veggies yesterday.
My intestines are not happy...

I am so close to my weight finally being closer to 200 than 300. Any day now....

You're right. I was over 300 for 5 years and I should have just stayed there because I'll always be fat... oh wait.

My highest was 325, though I wasn't there for maybe a month or so. I spent years hovering around 305-310.

This is the year I'm changing it all and never going back. :)

Went a little crazy yesterday and ended up about 30g of too much protein. Oh well, had a good leg workout so I needed the fuel!

I ran into a coworker today who said he could tell a big difference...

I actually think this is a good option for your friend. With a strict PSFM she'll see results fast and be encouraged to continue.

My Mother-in-law did a similar doctor-prescribed PSMF last year...

Yup!
This year nobody even noticed the first 20-30 lbs. The 10-15 lbs after that I started getting lots of comments.

According to this thread you need to eat more to lose weight.

Maybe just knock off a couple hundred from what you've been doing and try that. 1700-1800 for a couple weeks and compare.

Keep lifting hard.

Please link me a scientific study outlining starvation mode. I want to read up on it.

He's been losing less than a pound a week for the last 6 months and 215 lbs @ 5'6" is still pretty overweight.

He could easily be losing at a faster rate with just eating less.


Looks like he...

Eat less
