Down 35+ kg's in 7 months

Started at 127 --> 91,6 as of today. My goal is 86. Followed the suggested calory per day from MFP throughout, although with some rules:

Calories burned are logged manually, and I always underestimate them. For example, if my Garmin watch tell me that I burned 200 calories from a stroll, I log 170-180.
I make a basic salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber) that I have with my dinner every day. And I don't count the calories. I noticed early on that I tended to skip salad in order to have a little bit more of the good stuff.
I walk every day. I have two dogs and a baby, so this part was really easy to uphold.

Well done, you've done amazingly well! You look like a different person, you have an aura of confidence about you.

Thank you. I see old photos of myself and I don't recognise that person. I knew I was overweight, but I was pretty comfortable with that. I was even pretty confident back then, perhaps that was my problem. But I am happy with the change, it was really necessary and long overdue.

Thank you! I'm pretty confident I'll reach my goal in 2-3 months time. But I imagine that I will have to keep using MFP for a long time after that as well, in order to stabilize my weight and learn how to live my life without putting on weight again. Not worried though, this method has really worked for me.

I am glad you found something that really works for you. I think you will be able to make your goal as well. Good luck and keep up the awesome work!
