I've posted in here before and realistically I've not lost any more weight since the last time but I wanted to post again because it's been exactly two years since my first landmark picture was taken.

I'm hovering at around 163-165lb lost which is almost exactly half my starting bodyweight.

This loss was by walking a minimum of five miles each and every day and counting calories using MFP. Nothing fancy, no fads, no quick fixes, nothing more complicated than calories in vs calories out. I'd lost 140lb within a year and then the rest has come off slowly over the next six months or so. I've been maintaining for the last six months.

    What an awesome accomplishment!! Did you eat the exercise calories or did you just focus on the caloric goal MFP gave you? Do you use a Fitbit? I'm new to MFP and switched over from Weight Watchers and would really learning more about how it worked for you.

    I am interested in how you set your calorie goals too. And did you eat back your calories?
