I was 198 at my heaviest. That kind of snuck up on me, I had been about 185 for ever. When I saw 198, I said no way will I let myself get to 200. My wife had started to get into shape a few years earlier, and I really liked the results. I figured I owed the same to her. So, I started to eat more of what she ate and got on my bike. Dropped down to 180 the first year, 175 the next, and am now at 168. I'm ok with where I am at, but will shoot for 165 max at any given time. It's not really hard, just takes dedication. I also have stones, so I have to drink a lot. That has helped as much as anything. That and seriously reducing processed carbs. I'm lucky that I don't have a sweet tooth, made it a lot easier.
