Best of luck with it.
 
good progress man.
looks like you know how to lose weight. just make sure that diet is great, and most importantly that you have a deficit each day.

Recap

Feburary 2009:
I was hovering at 158 pounds.
Got obsessed with nutrition. My input was approximetly 1000-1200 calories a day. Output was easily 2000+ calories.

I burnt out by the second week and stopped working out completely.

May 2009:
By now my weight had reached 200 lbs.
I started to exercise again.
New plan consisted of two meals a day, and alternating between one full body weight day and one cardio day.

I got just under 170 lbs, but fizzled out by July.

April 2010:
Weight is back up to 200 pounds.
I'd try once or twice to restart working out, but nothing stuck for me until now.
