Obligatory one year success story

I'm a pretty private person, but decided to come out of lurkdom after a year to share with all the great people here who inspired me.
I guess I'll start at the beginning. A little over a year ago, after getting other areas of my life back on track, I was ready to tackle my weight. I wasn't going on a "journey" or making a "lifestyle change". And I sure as heck wasn't going "clean", low carb, cleansing, juicing or any of that other nonsense. I love all the food. I love growing, cooking, baking and all other forms of "processing" food. I especially love eating food. I just needed to learn how to eat food like a normal human being and be more active than your average invertebrate.
MFP took care of the food. Fitbit the activity. I lost the first 70 or so pounds by eating the same foods I had always eaten and walking. I got a used treadmill on Craig's list for $100 and set it up in my basement so I could watch TV and read on the treadmill instead of on the couch. I only recently started running on a whim, just too see if I could. Finished C25k a month ago and currently on C10k.
Physically, I feel fabulous. But the biggest change is mental. Especially with exercise. Who knew I'd ever be able to run a mile, let alone 5! If I can do that, I can do anything!
Anyway, a HUGE thanks to MFP message board regulars. You guys are an oasis of common sense in the Internet sea of woo and broscience. I work in marketing, so I have a very sensitive BS detector. I knew I'd found my people from the first clean eating thread I clicked on.
