energy in minus energy out == fat loss or gain
Once your metabolism is in check, it's that simple.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Bobbie, but are you not saying that you have been eating the calories calculated in the book for 5months. Jane and beach_plums, would you not expect her metabolism to have recovered by now even if she has been down to 1200 calories in the past?
Bobbie I would guess your clothes fitting tighter is more to do with you gaining muscle but not losing fat, rather than just gaining fat. It is frustrating though. Are you just working out the three days a week? Like others I find I need to add in a couple of days cardio also.
