Funny thing is.......plug my numbers into a BMI calculator and it says that I am still obese, when in actuality, about another 20 lbs. would put me in my target weight range. Peculiar

first off...congrats..second..BMI does not take into consideration how much of the weight is actually muscles..so its good that you know how much muscle you have...

Congrats on the awesome change! Would you be willing to share what your regime has been? I assume a good amount of resistance training and eating at a calorie deficit, but I'm interested in details if you are willing to share.

Also, what do they use to assess your body fat %?

I've been doing a mix of cardio/strentgth training every other day with a few miles on the treadmill on the in between days....sometimes a stairmaster or even running bleachers. I try to eat according to a Primal/Paleo style as much as possible
