I dropped around 60lbs (5'10" SW: 285) in first half of 2012 and have roughly maintained since (crept back to 235 - down to 230 again, still aiming for 200!).

I made two small habit changes that I feel made a drastic difference:

    * Bring lunch to work everyday (brown bag, leftovers)
    * If I want to watch TV, I must be moving on the treadmill
I would still go out to eat at work about once every two weeks and I would sometimes sneak in an episode of Breaking Bad on the couch, but overall, I stuck to those rules and everything else seemed to fall into place.



Hah, awesome! I started in a similar build, and am down about 35 pounds mostly just through dietary changes (and stress, sadly). I've been biking everywhere this month and I can pretty clearly feel a difference. Congrats man.
