I started counting macros last week. Who has done this and feels it works for weight loss? How long before you saw lbs come off?

What works for weight loss is staying in calorie deficit.

Hitting my macros helps me feel fuller and hit my fitness goals.

Thanks all. Do you recommend a specific online tool to help me determine what calorie count I should aim for?

MFP will give you a calorie goal, many people here have used those goals and found success.
