No pics, but 1 year's progress:
My friends and family are tired of hearing me, so I'll bug you guys instead:

In the last year:

Net weight loss: ~40lbs (@ 237 from ~275)
Body fat percent loss: ~15-20% (to ~25% from ~45%)
Waist: Down to 38 from 42-44
Belly;down to 46 from ~56
Blood pressure: 130/70 (from 145/85) -- all reduction from better eating/exercise, no meds/etc.
Resting heart rate: 64 (from 76)

I even got lazy/stopped dieting for a few months --so even though it's a year's worth and therefore not particularly great result compared to a lot of folks around here, I'm proud of myself.

I'm fully back on the wagon now and have lost 3-4 lbs in the last two weeks, yay!

BMI is so bogus
So I was torturing myself by looking at the BMI calculations on various websites, and that "metric" is so bogus.

Right now I am 6'4" ~240 lbs, with around a 25% body fat. This puts me on the very high end of the "overweight" BMI category. (29.5)

It also means I have about 180lbs of lean body weight.

In order to get *barely* into the top end of the "normal weight" category I'd have to drop to a total weight of ~200 lbs, which would leave me with 10% lean body weight, assuming I don't add any more lean body weight (which is ridiculous given I'm not that built as it is so I'm working on weights a lot).

It's quite possible that to barely qualify as "normal weight" I'd have to have a 0% or (ha!) less body fat. And it's not like I'm some body builder stud (I'd say, that a very generous assessment would be I was very slightly above average in muscle mass), nor is that my goal.

So, tl;dr; If you are above the 80% percentile in height, completely ignore the BMI. Probably ignore the BMI no matter what!

What's everyone's fitness routine?
At The Gym:

2 days on, 1 day off (4-5 times a week -- when I'm not being a lazy bum!)
Day 1: 30 minute elliptical + 30 minute circuit (weight) training (upper body focus) + run/walk one mile (working up to running an entire mile @ a 8 min pace)
Day 2: 1 hour elliptical or 30 min elliptical + 30 min stair master

I'm trying to work in some body weight core training exercises on a ~daily basis (crunches, pushups, etc.)

Note: I've been at at this renewed fitness plan almost a year. I started out with 20 mins on the elliptical, 15 mins circuit 3 times a week and built up from there.

If you're starting out, start at something you can actually do, and work up. If you try to go gung-ho from the get go, you're more likely to quit!

Totally Random
...but I finally fit into relaxed fit size 38 jeans again (my previous "I've put on a few pounds" size), not not size 42 "loose fit".

Goal is back to 34-36 relaxed fit (I'm 6'5" Wink

, so a ways to go yet, but progress.

Haven't lost much weight in a while, but the body changes (the good ones) are still happening =)

‎"Americans are fat and sick because they eat too much and don't exercise enough." - n
If you don't eat more calories than you burn, it's quite literally impossible to gain weight. Just like it's impossible to drive a car with an empty gas tank.
