    Can I ask what you did to lead to your awesome success?

    Physically, I used myfitnesspal a lot. I also keep a spreadsheet of daily recordings. Did my research on BMR, RMR, and such. And stuck to reaching my calorie goal.

    I haven't exercised as much as I should, but I did do some cardio for a while (mostly walking) and am trying to stay on top of strength training with free weights.

    Mentally, I just had to tell myself to stop screwing around and do this. I have a bad family history of diabetes and heart disease. The deaths or declines in my family have all be weight related. I'm trying to buck this trend.

    Awesome job Mike. We had similar starting points and finish points. When I got below 220 my body said "no more weight loss for you!", so I'm in maintenance right now and hope to slowly loose another 20 lbs of fat this coming year.

    Do yourself a favor, read up on the hormone leptin and how it affects people who lose a significant amount of fat. I believe it It became a real issue for me.

    Thank you! However I can only find information concerning Leptin and how it can affect weight loss. Not how weight loss affects Leptin.

    Do you have any links or sources?
