    Congratulations! Lots of hard work there! A couple of years ago I started about where you are now (235 @ 5'9") and was able to go down 50 in about 5 months. Still working on those last 10-15 though. I don't know if you're following any kind of program, but here's some advice if you're not already doing it:
    -Stop using weight and BMI as your main measuring sticks...they're relatively meaningless except to tell you that you're severely obese (which you no longer are)
    -Start *progressive* resistance training. I don't care if it's bodyweight only or a structured weightlifting program, do something. You'll thank yourself later.
    -Eat enough protein. The last two kind of go together. The reason for the resistance training and protein is to *hold onto* as much muscle as you can. You're not going to build much muscle, if any while losing the weight, but you want the majority of weight lost to be fat, not muscle.
    -weigh your food. The closer you get to your ideal weight, the harder it will come off and the more attention you'll have to give to EXACTLY how much food you're eating.
    -just keep going...actions lead to habbits, and habbits lead to results.
