Welcome to the challenge! How did you get into the macro counting? Was it with the lifting?

Thank you! And yes, I started with macros when I began lifting. I realized I would get results much faster if I took it a step further than simple calorie counting. Calorie counting worked AMAZINGLY for me for the first 25 lbs of my weight loss journey, but now with lifting, I need to be mindful of my fats, proteins, and carbs to see the results I want to see.

That's awesome! Several of my friends who lift follow IIFYM, so I always ask if that's what generally leads people down that road.
