I lost the weight and use the money I used to spend on junk food for skin treatments. Best of both worlds.

This is of no consolation if you are fat. At least, not for me.

I want to start a macros eating program - the meals/snacks are 40% carb, 30% protein, 30% fat. I'll also do strength training three days a week and cardio 2 days a week. Do the macros ratios sound right for my goals? Thanks in advance! (PS. For anyone curious, I'm starting the Clean Simple Eats spring meal plan).
What type of strength training re you doing? are you lifting heavy enough? You macro ratios are probably fine. Protein is most important.

You really just need to lose the layer of fat over your muscles and add in weight training. I don't think you need to be super careful about macros. The less fat on top of those muscles, the more the muscle can shine through.
