Thank you (and everyone) for saying such nice things.
All of my tips can be found here in a post I did after about 70 pounds loss and I still use them to this day:

In response to your questions initially MFP had me at 1210 each day for two pounds loss a week.
Around June I changed my setting to 1.5 pounds loss a week because I read in one of these boards that you should gradually increase your intake so your body isn't shocked after such a huge loss and then you start trying to maintain. I kept that up until Sept.26 which is the day I met my goal of 100 pounds loss.
For maintenance (of 149/150 pounds for my height) mfp gives me 1660 calories which blew my mind to be honest and oddly I'm struggling with making sure I eat enough- who Would have thought right? I don't want to see a gain so I'm super careful! So far so good i actually have a cushion so to speak right now at 143...
And btw I never ever ate all my exercise calories. Mostly because for me my exercise is walking and competing on fitbit so I would just eat half which is a habit I continue. I think there are just to many calories factored in as exercise calories but that's just how it worked for me.
I hope that helps! Feel free to friend me and or message me!
