I know things are changing in my body because I am down two sizes in pants and from a 2X to an XL and sometimes even a L shirt. I feel like I am doing everything I am supposed to be doing. I upped my calories to a minimum of 700-800, get in over 60 grams of protein daily, less than 50 carbs (this is just a
