Officially not overweight anymore

Good news, today I weighed in at 150lb. I started at 183lb a while ago, I don't remember, last year some time. I'm 5'6" so 150lb would be the top end of normal weight for me. I'd like to lose a bit more but this is certainly a milestone!

I've been trying to find a good "diet" that I stick to and I think I've found that in intermittent fasting. I do try to keep low carb as much as possible, but I simply cannot live without carbs now and then, I get too low.

The coronavirus/covid caused me to lose about 12lb VERY fast, and that was in March so it's stayed off. It also damaged my lungs and energy level and I don't know whether that's going to be permanent so obviously I don't recommend it as a weight loss method. Please take this virus serious and stay safe! Wear your mask, social distance etc. Believe me even if you survive you don't want to get this thing :(

I no longer count calories, it just got to be too big of a pain and annoyance. I do 18 hour fasts and then I eat normally. The 18 hour fasts seem to be ideal for me because it's right at the point I'm getting really hungry but doesn't go on so long that I end up gorging. I try to make sure to eat a regular high fat low carb meal to break the fast. Breaking it with high carb food leads to gorging so I try to avoid it.
