Hi, my fat:lean loss ratio has been 3.2:1, over a 51 lb weight loss, so that is 76% of my loss as fat (and conversely 24% as LBM). My BF% has dropped 5.6 percentage points.

I am doing it at the beginner level as well, and I did a sort of practice run for it back in March. The key for me is finding my go-to foods (something that's mentioned in one of the starter support videos too).

This probably won't help you much because I am a bit of an outlier, but I am 6'0" and I wore a 24 at (approximately) 330-345, 22 at 300-330, 20 at 280-300, and 18 once I got below 280 (working my way back down there at the moment!) Also, for the muscle/fat question, I've lost about a pound of muscle for every 5 pounds of…
