A little bit of your problem with not being able to get to your goal may be in the form of excess skin. So, until you have that removed (if necessary) you may not get the extra pounds off. As far as how much to eat at 2 years out, I am at that point also and I shoot for 1000-1100 calories a day. Hope that helps. Try replacing when you are grazing with a constructive activity instead to keep your hands and mouth occupied. You are the only one that knows what kind of craft or activity you like. If you walk instead of eating then you are out of the kitchen away from food and cannot eat. Or go shopping at the mall, yard work, go talk to the neighbors, go over to a friends house, do maintenance in your house or apt, clean house, exercise. You can do it, we know you can. Good luck.
