18lbs in less than 2 months

I'm happy with progress so far. I've finally grasped that the best way is to control portions (allowing me to eat whatever I like in moderation), keep within the calorie limit (I've never been near my daily limit so I don't come close to eating my exercise calories), watch the macros (generally I try and ensure my daily carb total is under the prescribed percentage) and walk walk walk. I've worked up to doing 12000 steps per day, from a previous daily average of around 2000. It's been tough on my feet and knees but it is beginning to get easier and unexpectedly fun. I look forward to losing enough that my knees and ankles will cope with jogging.
