Asking for your success stories by just counting calories

shst07

Hi!
I was just wondering if people could share their stories of weight loss from just counting calories? How much you lost and if you stuck with the calories mfp recommended or upped your calories to TDEE-20% or so? And it's not that I don't think losing weight by eating low carb, Paleo, or clean doesn't work, it just didn't work for me in the long run.
Thank you!
