Now decided to eat my maintenance and gained 5 lbs. However, I am more energetic, faster, and stronger at the gym. Not sure what to do since I really want to go from 20% to 15% BF.

Everything about your post, with the exception of the gym, sounds incredibly unhealthy.

I’m still hungry a lot of the time but less miserable compared to my first post. It gets easier I guess. I’ve found it help to not deprive myself of the foods I like, but just eat a lot less of them and have more healthy foods in the balance. Thanks all for the advice and encouragement.

Congrats OP. I am one of the PPs who enjoyed Noom. The weight loss strategy stuck with me and I can easily lose weight if I want to now. I've lost 40 pounds in 2 years. 8 pounds in 6 weeks is incredible progress. I bet it's closer to 10 by now and you feel great.
