Fat guy recomp?

Hi! I've been lurking around long enough that I figured that I might as well introduce myself and try and make some friends.
I'm 6'0" and started at over 300lbs... I'm down to about 247 right now and I guess I am looking to do a recomp. Maintain my muscle mass while losing the fat and it is a slooooooooow process but I'm motivated!
Has anyone out there successfully done a recomp? And how long did it take you to get to your target weight?
You can read my profile and take a look at my diary.. It's all open.. I had it closed but then I asked why?... the first step was when I started logging everything and took accountability for my own actions. I'm not perfect but I'm doing this for me and while God knows that we all need some external motivation every once in a while, I am doing this because I want it and whois going to hold me more accountable than me? right?
