On my diet last few months I've been under 1500 and lost almost 40 lbs, I've been working out too so that helps lose weight. I'm almost at my target weight so I can up a little once I get there though I've lost my appetite for big meals since I've got used to consuming less.
Used to have several within 1/2 hour where we lived when I was a kid, there's only one left, I took my nephew one night and it was pretty full, was surprised.
I lit mine last night and have had it cranking all day, Ill load it one more time before bed and hopefully that's it for the year, I see high 60's next week so back to spring.
