I actually had two things that really sparked my weight loss. I have been big all my life, and went to a cardiologist shortly after my 30th birthday and he let me know that any damage that I had done to my heart could be recovered.

I see them thinking to themselves "That sucks, I figured he just took a magic pill."

Once I was close to my goal, I increased my running to somewhere between 20 and 30 miles a week and did strength training once or twice a week. I feel the extra cardio really pushed me over the top.
