Only a guy and the occasional young, active female can lose 30 lb in a month on ANY weight loss program. I actually lost 30 in six weeks a few years back but that was on WW not a low carb plan.
There are lots of success stories here and I hope they're not shy about tooting their own horns.
When you lose weight that quickly, you have to be careful to get enough vitamins, and water. And be prepared for a lengthy stall. That seems to be the pattern and it's something we've all been through, especially after a rapid drop in weight.

Hi RS My daugher is dating a 16 year old that was just accepted to a ban that may be going on tour. They are so excited (she is 16 as well) but that is neither here nor there

I have lost a total of 52bs. but i have done it over a year and with many stalls,(eating wrong) and several long cheats one was 5 months long. but in total i have lost many pounds of fat. i started over 55% i an now down to a lean 32% si i have lost a lot more fat and gained much muscle. I have gone from a tight 2X to about large to 1X(loose). I hope that helps. I should have a better idea of the fat% this thursday when i get measured.
