Thanks for all the info!!

I don't have a long time at this, but I just started NROL4W and been eating ~2000-2400 calories a day which according to the book should be my maintenance calories (actually a bit more since I still go over sometimes ). And this is after eating ~1400 for a year and on a plateau, then not caring what I ate (moving across states, etc) and gaining ~15lbs.

I've only been doing it for a week and a half, my weight has been the same BUT I have lost 1 inch from my bust, waist, and hip measurements. So I do think I will be going in the right direction soon! I try to hit my macros but don't usually. Been working on upping the protein. But I have a weakness for baking, so I usually eat a cookie or 2 a day for a week. Still trying to keep it within calories though.

Also here's a couple other posts that have a few successes in them:
